Track Injector
For simple scenarios or quick sortie preparation, the Track Injector add-on allows you to manually inject track data into Tacview to rehearse or recreate a flight profile.
Find the Track Injector add-on at Add-ons → Track Injector.
An unlimited number of tracks is supported. Click Add Track to add more lines and Delete to delete existing lines if necessary.
For each line, add a Call Sign and choose a Type and Color from the respective drop-down menus. Enter engagement ranges if applicable.
For each track, click the Edit button on the right to open a new window where waypoints can be entered.
Use CTRL+SHIFT+CLICK in the 3D view to add waypoints, or fill out the fields manually.
If you wish to see lines drawn in the 3D view representing the path of the object, click Inject Waypoints now. Otherwise, skip this step.
Once you are done listing the waypoints for this object, and injecting them if desired, close Waypoints window by clicking the X at the top-right corner.
In the Track Injector window, select the tracks you wish to inject, and click Inject Selected Tracks.
Your object has appeared in the 3D view. Press Play and the object will move along the paths that you have defined for it, based on the timing which may have been specified for each track.
You can save your tracks by using Save File to save as XML or Export GPX to save as GPX. Likewise, use Load File to load a previously saved XML file and Import GPX to load any GPX file with route information.
