Tacview beta access on Steam?

[jimrad1]

Hey there folks,  I just started getting back into serious flight sims from way back from the Falcon 4 days and was happy to see the utilities advanced soo far with TacView. What a great looking tool! I decided to buy it on Steam and was wondering if you could also upload the beta builds there? Steam has the ability to let users opt into developers beta builds very easily in fact. They also have a Workshop intergration that is seamless that will allow for robust modding.  Right now access to beta builds would be awesome. Im guessing trying to use the builds here would be incompatible with the build on steam?  In any case great great utility. Im looking forward to spreading the news to fellow simmers about this one..

Cheers

Hi Jim



I have used TacView for a long time. It works great in many sims. I use it a lot in P3DV4/FSX@War.

I have the stand-alone paid version and have access to the betas, which I use. Steam does have a great way to allow beta access.

Hi Jim

I am sure that the beta is coming to Steam soon.

Hi Jim,

Indeed, Tacview Steam betas are coming (for Tacview 1.8.2).

I have created the branch, but I simply didn't have the time yet to build a beta for Steam

Awesome gentlemen thank you for the information 

I am really enjoying its use. Have already sampled it in Falcon 4 BMS, DCS, Comman Operations the new one and of course IL2.  Such a critically needed tool thank you!

I agree.

It is a great tool and simple to use

Im practically spamming every conceivable flight related form on steam to explain how great this utility is.

Not sure if this has been implemented yet as I do not own Tacview for steam, so am only including this for reference. To access the beta channels, right click on the Tacview title in the steam library desktop client and go to the "BETA" tab (last tab). Here there should be a drop down that will allow you to switch to the beta channel.
