Author Topic: How to get TrackIR enhanced mode support in AH (Read 2475 times)

Ok ... I followed all the directions and have the cursor (while in AH) moving all over the screen, but the views aren't moving ... what did I miss ?

How do you calibrate the Virtual Joystick ?

Once you've gotten the virtual joystick drivers loaded run the tir2joy.exe and run the Natural point software. Select the enhanced mode in Natural point. Then go into your game controllers and calibrate as if it were any other joystick.

When you get into AH you need to go to joysticks again and correctly map the virtual joysticks views. You should have a view yaw and a view pitch on the far left side. Select the virtual joystick and then the view yaw and map them. Do the same again for the view pitch.

Then when you go to play select pan mode for your viewing and it should work.

Thanks for the response Cobra ...

I created a Virtual joystick.
I have TrackIR running in enhanced mode.
I have TrackIR2Joystick Running.

I went to calibrate the Virtual Joystick and there are no buttons on this joystick to push when asked to ... I don't get this.

In AH I have ...

AH Control = view pitch
Joystick = PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1
Joystick Input =

AH Control = view yaw
Joystick = PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1
Joystick Input =

I have F11 set the activate "pan Mode"

When I hit F11, I go into pan mode, but only my Cougar Joystick Hat will move the views, not TrackIR.

One thing you have to make sure you do is make a profile in the NaturalPoint software. On the HotKeys tab, change the hotkey for Motion Mode. By default it is set to F8. Therefore, every time you turn on mouselook in AH by hitting F8, you are changing from Enhanced Mode back to Emulated mode which prevents it from working correctly.

Jodgi,

Thanks man! This is AWESOME!

did you guys calibrate in AH also? Also in windows calibration I have the joystick view (which I can calibrate) then a bunch of other jstick functions which do nothing.. is this normal?

do you all have the damper set high in ah for the tracker or do you handle all that through the tracker profile?

Jodgi,
Thanks for the great info. I just got a TrackIR2, installed the 3.03 software, created an enhanced profile for AH, unchecked trap key for centering key in hotkeys, successfully installed PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1, extracted TIR2joy.exe and .inf to a directory, and edited the .inf file to reset view with the F12 key. Am I the only one who gets a "user disabled" message in the box when I launch TIR2joy.exe ? That box says "ressetting" when I press F12. It shows as "runninig" in task manager but no movement in control panel or AH. The virtual joystick does appear in AH and I have assigned the view yaw and pich axis's to it. Appreciate any help from anyone. Thanks

I guess either no one else had this problem or felt like replying. I was really stumped, as it was not working most of the time. I even tried unplugging the MMFF2 joystick which isn't used in Aces High. Maybe I wasn't doing it correctly before, but I finally have it working. If I launch TIR2JOY with the TIR running in mouse emulation, I get the ”user disabled” message in the TIR2JOY status box as before. If I switch to enhanced mode after I get this message, everything works great.

It works great in Aces High. I have a button on my throttle that activates the Pan Mode (enhanced TIR) and another on my joystick that switches back to the default view for the shot and hat views and zoom work again. The TIR view in Aces high lets your look clear around on your six if the headrest isn't in the way.

Do you launch tir2joy first ?
Do you get axes values showed in it ?

memnon · « **Reply #26 on:** April 03, 2004, 05:00:50 PM »

Are you asking me these questions 13Promet?

What about refraining from shooting me down in the MA?

Moochie · « **Reply #28 on:** May 07, 2004, 03:58:18 PM »

I use Win 98 and I need the drivers for PPJoy before it will work. Apparently "PPJoyBus.sys". Where do I get this file?

jodgi · « **Reply #29 on:** May 08, 2004, 08:44:04 AM »

Dunno how to help you on that one, Moochie.

I just followed the instructions as I laid them out.

Sorry.
