Tacview 1.8.0 has introduced a new command-line option so you can declare another custom path for the add-ons you are working on. This is handy to load your addons directly from a GitHub folder:
Tacview64.exe -AddOnsFolders:"C:/Code/GitHub/tacview.add-ons.lua"
This repository is dedicated to Lua add-ons. Anyone can develop and run Lua add-ons with any version of Tacview (Yes, even with Tacview Starter!).
The latest version or the Lua API is described in:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Tacview\AddOns\Tacview Lua Core Interface.txt
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Tacview\AddOns\Tacview Lua Main Interface.txt
The core API is always available to any add-on. Because of technical issues regarding multithreading, the functions described in Lua Main Interface are NOT available to Lua importers and exporters.
