Track IR V5, 5.0.230 issue
« on: October 30, 2009, 12:36:45 PM »
Twice now I've lost head tracking while in flight...

Alt>tab in flight shows it still working... exiting Aces High shows it still working...

I can move my view around with my hat... but before I try, my view is stuck where it lost TIR, then returns to centre.

Re-entering Aces High shows the arena limit lowered (thus can't get back in... = bad)

Perhaps the two are related?

do u have a light source on are near a window with no shade on it works better when theres no light around.
have you customized  any of your 6 DOF xand y axis it might be going beyond limits and loosing track of infra red beam hope this helps

I've been using TIR for a long time... This is not momentary loss of utility (from going beyond limits, or reflected light)... I used to get that all the time with my TIR 3 with 6DOF....

This is TIR gone.. requiring Aces High restart to get it back.

Just saying that it seems to be coincedent with an arena downsize... which is very annoying as I loose continuity by having to leave, and not be let back in... Course it could be unrelated too... just reporting a bug.

Just a coincidence. The arena cap is nothing that happens in the arena at all. The limiter is just an external gatekeeper that monitors numbers in the arenas, then adjusting the entry limits.
Depending on the time you are usually playing, the limits are changing all the time, so you do of course see it having changed when you are trying to reenter arena for whatever reason.

I have experienced this same issue couple of times lately. I have Windows 7 and the latest TrackIR software (5.0 B it seems).

similar problem. happens occasionally within the first minute of loading the game. after closing out and reopening it works fine for the rest of the session.
