What?

Track infra red basically.

AH2 now natively supports it which means much smoother operation and it always returns to the dead ahead view position.

If you dont know what TrackIR is you really should, as once setup and working correctly as you move your head the view does same.

So move your head left, and view smoothly pans left or up/ down etc.

Lol at least it did work until i altered some setings will need to reinstall AH2 now i think

Cav I did notice everytime you land and have to reup it turns your view setting off and back to the Snap Look mode. Right now I have it working in the Pan mode and it's pretty nice. Not sure if thats why it stopped working on you. Just checked and see if it took you outta pan mode. I still have some issues with it's smoothness in the game though.

It'd also be nice to figure out how to speed up the recentering of it all. I've notice looking away from center it's fine other than a bit of stuttering. Think that stuttering may be do to settings or maybe even the old Track IR I'm using. But when your coming back to center it's rather slow...Maybe a 1/4 speed slower than the initial look away. When it does get fairly close to center it catches and snaps to center.

Oh I found if you wear glasses too it catches a reflection off them. I'll have to test it out again once I put my contacts back in. But I did take off my glasses and the dot on a head band I was using and it got a signal loss which is good. But I grabbed my glasses and put them the field of view for the Track IR and it started tracking again.

Yes, but you still look at one monitor.
What we need is the support of at least 5 monitors. Only like this we can have a real near global view.
Now make the monitors projectors and you start to see what i mean

Cav,

How did you get it to work in enhanced mode?

Just have mouse look enabled in AH2 and select enhanced mode in TIR b4 starting AH.
I do have a key programmed on my stick that clicks and holds on the right mouse button.
So if it does not work initially try holding right mouse biutton down and see what happens.

Hmmm, I tried a little today, couldn't make it work.
Maybe I just have to fiddle a bit more...

If you go into the setup then controls section and open up Select Joystick you can make your adjustments there. You need to select the Virtual joystick then click on the Pitch View and select the correct axis and do the same for Yaw View. From there so long as the TIR2Joy.exe is running along with the Natural point software it will work by just selecting the Pan view mode. Now if I rememeber right I had to invert my axis for one of them, I wanna say it was the pitch axis. Now everytime I launch I just have to select pan view and I can look around fine. Slight jittering but that may be my NP settings and or the old TIR. I'll make a better setup procedure when I get home and will post it.

I see.

I misunderstood, I though you meant TIR support natively in AH2 - not via tir2joy. HTC needs to make an .dll thingy before we get true support. The accuracy and sensitivity will be optimal with native support.

hmmmm...

Cavalier, did u mean native support (as you wrote) or enhanced mode via tir2joy?

I believe it does have native support for mouse emulation mode in Natural Point but not Enhanced Mode support. I wanna say I did initially run it with mouse look enabled and mouse emulation mode. Only problem is my view was way too quick...I didn't mess with settings to slow it down afterwards though.

I was defintely running it in enhanced mode because the dead zones i had set in TIR were working.
In normal mouse mode the dead zones do not work.

jodgi · « **Reply #12 on:** December 11, 2003, 10:50:55 AM »

yea, but was it with or without yir2joy?

214thCavalier · « **Reply #13 on:** December 11, 2003, 01:38:07 PM »

It was without, as i had been using it before that thread appeared.
