TrackIR Question???

Use maces mapping.

Getting the 6view right is the main point of the mapping.

Also make sure to close the window with the virtual head that is used to set up trackir. When you have that in the background (the one that shows the head, not the trackir window that is ok) the head gets calculated still and it eats up a lot of graphics power.

Just wish I was smart enough to use someone's profile. Don't have the computer savy to decipher those lists. Combat Flight profile works ok for now.

TrackIR Question???

Here's how to do it:

1. Open "My Computer" and navigate to "C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint\TrackIR4\Profiles"

2. This step is a little tricky as I don't know what kind of editing software you might have.  I'll show you kind of a dumb way to do it but that does work:

Click on a profile in the "Profiles" folder (e.g. "Default_Profile).  Hit CTRL+C followed immediately by CTRL+V   This will make a copy of the "Default_Profile" named "Copy of Default_Profile"

Next rename the new copy to whatever you want to call it.  Realize the file has an ".xml" extension but Windows hides extensions by default.  A common mistake is to create a file like "AcesHigh.xml.txt" or "AcesHigh.xml.xml" so be careful about that.

Once you have copied "Default_Profile" to "AcesHigh", right click on the file and choose "Open With" --> Notepad

Select the menu "Edit-->Select All"  Then press the "Delete" key to delete all the text in the file.

3.  While you have the Notepad editor open and emptied out, use your left mouse button to highlight the text of the profile listed in the forum web page  (e.g. http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=196483&highlight=trackir+profile) then press CTRL+C to copy that text.  Be sure you copy everthing from the "" to "" text.

4. Click the Notepad window to select it then press CTRL+V and that will paste the text into Notepad.  You can then exit (saving) the file and you now have the profile available for use.

Hope this helps.  Sorry I couldn't figure out how to explain this in a simpler way.

Thanks HomeBoy,
That worked great. Tried Mace's profile. Much better 6 view than what I been using. Going to take a little time to get used to. Noticed I'll probably have to get rid of this swivel chair. Appreciate you taking the time to explain so someone as computer illiterate as I could manage it.

HomeBoy,
Flew your prof. today. It's more my speed. A little too much going on in Mace's. I'm no where near the stick that you & Mace are. Maybe someday, probably not. Thanks again for the help.

Do a google search for it, its a free program that will stop/start windows services and free up cpu and memory then start any propgram you want.  has worked wonders for my FR and TrackIR system.
