This just in.
Imagine with me, if you will, an After-Action-Review aid in Tornado!

TacView is a Universal Flight Data Analysis tool (http://tacview.strasoftware.com/product/about/en/) which enables you to easily record, analyze and understand any flight to improve your skills much faster than with conventional debriefings. Read more here (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139148). Here is a reason why you should use TacView (https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/301fgp/psa_tacview_is_awesome_and_you_should_all_use_it/).

TacView's author, Vrytuous, said that it is "possible to insert some code to export telemetry data". For example, in the Tornado source code, "the main loop is in CONTROL.ASM and AI aircraft are updated in AIRCRAFT.ASM. The source code is clean and well documented. The challenge would be to find a clean way to convert Tornado flat X/Y coordinates in latitude/longitude." A generic routine could be written that would output telemetry data in TacView's native file format. This data write "could be called from many points of the Tornado code".
I am therefore looking for a passionate gamer dude, experienced in assembly code, who is ready to extend Tornado's features. Vrytuous will gladly provide his support so he or she can output Tacview ACMI files in a fast an easy way. Vrytuous has documented the data format here: http://tacview.strasoftware.com/documentation/acmi/
He claims that is very possible to output the Tornado telemetry data, even for custom code written in x86 assembly language code.
Imagine TacView running on telemetry data from the last flight sim in this list:
1. DCS World
2. Microsoft Flight Simulator X / Lockheed MartinŽ Prepar3DŽ
3. Falcon 4.0
4. Enemy Engaged – Comanche vs. Hokum
5. Digital Integration (1993) Tornado
Could happen.
Any takers?
