TrackIR 5

[lulu]

I try to clarify my use of track-ir.

If i must loock back, then,

first, i push a button to look-back (or look back up or look back left ect. if it is the case);

second i translate my head-body a bit on right or left, so that i have no 'linda blair effect'.

For forward VIEWS i can look forward up, right, left, look up, by using track-ir.

To look fully lef or right i use buttons generally.

I use TrackIR. I will never go back to the old hat switch views. Ever.

Amen.  No more thumbin' around while trying to focus on combat maneuvers.  It's all about fewer distractions, and lightening the pilot workload.

Ahh, ok I get it.

   Well im on the (Lite-Track version) lol   The Free-track system, all I use is pitch and yaw, I still use my X-52 throttle, so to look back I have the veiw, (move foward or back) mapped to the thumb slide! so ya have to slide foward in cockpit then look back,work's great,  and to see straight behind ya! just kick some rudder!
                                                                                                                           Misfire out,

Got a problem with Trackir started it up today and the left LEd is lit and everything works fine in the control panel but when i start AHright LED is off and Trackir is not working in game> Checked all the settings i can find to no avail.

I get this problem sometimes too.  I always leave the TrackIR program up on the desktop and then start AH.  This seems to work for me.

Just did a check of Tracir5 in MS FSX and the game recognizes it but not in Ah

Shakey, try closing TrackIR and restarting it and/or unplugging the camera from the USB port and plugging it back in.  One or the other has always remedied that problem for me.

On the rare occasion that I get disco'd from AH, I've had to quit the TIR software and restart it before starting up AH again - otherwise AH ends up not recognizing my TIR.

TrackIR has to be running prior to starting AH.

hope this helps

I've had my TIR not recognize every once in a while in AH as well.  What has always worked for me was to just open the icon if it's there in the systray so you can see the editing part of it with the grid and whatnot, verify that it's reading, then start AH.  It seems like it sometimes stalls if it's just running in the systray.

remember to run track-ir in icon-mode when play ah.

Finally got it back up and running. I had to reinstall AH then everything worked again. Hard to go back to the regular view system after using TracIr .

My biggest problem with track ir is watching a tv show or movie or something.. and something moves off screen, I keep turning my head a little to see where it is going!

Or what will REALLY screw you up is watching a video of someone's AH flights LOL
