Track IR not functioning properly with new update
« on: April 25, 2011, 11:48:57 PM »
Track IR "center" "pause" and "precision" modes not working within game. Outside of game they work fine. I tried changin keys, remapping, etc. but can't get them to work in game. Any advice?

Nope that didn't work for me and I have the same problem the Center Key and pause Key not recognized in game and resetting everything did nothing for it.  Running Windows 7 64 bit.  The commands are seen out of game but not in game

Ok I went back and deleted the file that Scuzzy said to make it run without using administrator and  ran game without administrator and TrackIR started working correctly.

Which file did Skuzzy say to delete? Sounds like that's my problem too.

It was the ahlogo.jpg file...but Patch 1 is supposed to have fixed it by using the previous logo splash screen.

my track ir is using default views for some reason. It wont use the saved views that are set up on the joystick toggle switch. Any one know how to fix that?

Now I have no track IR in game after the patch. Not sure if deleting or renaming the ahlogo file will make a difference since patch was supposed to fix problem. Anyone have a fix for this?

OK, after I logged out and back in track ir working however, the six o'clock view is not matching the joystick view. All I get is the seat back. Can't see to either side of it. Any solutions?

I have the same problem with rear view, in the past TrackIR would use my "settings" for views now it doesn't seem to

Same thing happened to me with my TrackIR 3D. I posted it as a bug with this game release but got no answer. So I will conjecture HTC wants us to move into the full 6-axis TrackIR capabilities.

I was using the old 4.1.37 software to get (x, y) Dot tracking mode. It would use my hps file settings for views. I finaly downloaded the 5.3 TrackIR software today and put the 3 dot track clip on my hat and started using 6-axis mode. The 5.3 software is excellent and now if I move my body and head about like looking around and over my shoulder in a real cockpit I see back and around or any of the other views I relied on the hps files for.

Make sure your camera is about 24-30 inches away from your hat or clip.

I'm not so sure HTC wants us to use the 6 axis mode for track ir? There was nothing in the update about this. I think it's simply an issue with the update which will be addressed in a future patch. I for one do not like the 6 axis approach as it requires too many head movements and puts a terrible strain on my neck.

I use TIR4 hardware with the TIR5.x software and full 6DOF control.  Sitting 3 feet from my 24" widescreen I only have to turn my head to point my nose at the edge of the monitor to have my game head all the way around and have no issues checking behind my plane.  Perhaps you need to make your TIR graphs a bit steeper; there's no reason you should have to look away from your monitor to get your game view to look behind you.

The smoothness of tracking your prey using the full 6DOF versus just using TIR instead of a hat switch to move to your set head positions is the best way to fly and fight.  :aok

Glad you like your setup Im a Dot, but some us prefer the other way too bad we can't have both like we did before.
