v1.0.0

tacview-filter v1.0.0

First stable release of tacview-filter: a command-line tool that reads Tacview ACMI files (2.1 and 2.2), applies user-defined filters, and writes a modified ACMI file. Use it to trim recordings for debriefing and analysis by removing irrelevant objects or focusing on specific types (e.g. ground/sea units, coalition, or custom property rules).

Originally developed for the 476th vFighter Group.

Highlights

• Parse Tacview ACMI (.txt.acmi and .zip.acmi)
• Filter with a clear priority: hard filters (time crop, --inside, --filter-untyped), remove filters (--remove, --remove-inactive), and keep/show overrides (--keep, --show-engagements)
• Track splitting: --inside lat,lon,radius_nm keeps only segments inside the given circle(s)
• Fog-of-war: --fog-of-war for proximity-based visibility
• Output compressed (default) or --text for uncompressed

Tested with ACMI exports from DCS and Falcon BMS.
