TLDR: If possible, please preserve the ability of BMS to generate .vhs AVTR data in future upgrades to BMS.
Longer explanation:
Currently, LSOBot requires files in .txt.acmi Text Telemetey Data format. This format is dependent on BMS AVTR output in .vhs format. Currently Tacview is used to convert BMS .vhs AVTR output to .txt.acmi that is readable by LSOBot. I should have more properly been asking if .vhs format can remain available in future updates to BMS.
I also realize that this concern may not really have to do as much with BMS as with Tacview, over which we have no control. That is, if Tacview is changed such that .vhs files are no longer able to be loaded/viewed, then we will be out of luck, whether or not BMS can produce .vhs AVTR output, unless there is an alternate way to convert .vhs or .zip.acmi to .txt.acmi. Currently, BMS .zip.acmi files that are extracted to produce .txt.acmi Text Telemetry Data do not work properly in LSOBot. This aspect is what I think @oakdesign was considering taking a look at (to see if maybe LSOBot code could be altered to properly read .txt.acmi as extracted from BMS .zip.acmi.)
My apologies for not being more clear. Hope this helps.
