Author Topic: TrackIR Native Support! (Read 1668 times)

Icer · « **on:** June 22, 2004, 11:44:09 AM »

The TrackIR hardware/software has gotten refined to the point where it really works quite well in games that support it (IL2-FB, LOMAC, FS2004, Falcon 4.0 (3D pit), and even Bore-Birds), even where you can emulate "mouselook".

Any chance of this being built into AH2?

I asked HT about it in the MA yesterday, and he replied...

It is on the list, just not at the top.

PPJoy installs a Virtual Joystick Driver, which you can assign the view axises to in AH Joystick setup. TIRJoy, I believe, is an interface between TrackIR and this virtual JStick Driver. It DOES work, and you can look (Pan) around in the cockpit but regardless of how I calibrated this virtual stick I could never get it correct in-game. To top it off my SoundMax sound drivrer had a conflict with it for some reason, wasn't worth going crazy over.. I'm going to play with the Mouse panning and see if I can't grt TIR to work using that..

Ah. thanks.

And fwiw I'm in the very slow process of trying out "Freelook" using a home made IR led device and my PC's webcam. Was wondering if doing that dance would help me out too

There is no comparison between Enhanced and anything else....its like a whole new world. I found the Pjoy thingy to be next to useless and the other area keymap program to be more of a hassle than its worth (Ive already got my hat switch mapped...I dont want to map my head).

Call me crazy....but Im sure HT will get it done in due course. I just hope its close enough to the top to see light:D

Please add my 'please' to the list of pleases, pretty please. It would sure please me to see TrackIR native support in AHII.

How 'bout it HT? Move it closer to the top of the list? Please?

PPJoy/TIR2joy is rather unpleasing compared to TIR enhanced ... and I won't go back to the gamey hatswitch/snap views after seeing the light with IL-2.
