"I change my saved head position to a bit forward and up"

" All my axises are active and trueview is checked, I have roll turned way down though. "

That's way you don't noted anything !

 :lol


 :salute



To clarify what I meant by roll turned down, the speed of the head roll is such that for a large head roll I get a small movement in game.  It seems to help me not over control and get Linda Blair type head movements.   :devil   :salute

I have roll turned off for just that reason, makes me motion sick to have all of that going at once :).

Sounds like turning roll on but turning it down may have some effect?

BTW, who on the thread have TIR4 and who has TIR5? I have both and neither works but I'm trying to figure out where to concentrate my efforts.

Thanks!

In the TrackIR 5 GUI your profiles are probably setup for 6axis motion and TrueView as a common base line.

How are you setup in the game under "View Options"?

~Defaults to Instant View

~TrackIR Object Relative Move

~Use Snap View Padlock

Can all of you gents with this problem post back your game "View Options"? At least one of you who is not having this problem in 6axis TrueView TrackIR mode also.

Another thing to try is to remove the hps file for your fighter's cockpit in question so the game generates a new default one and see if that fixes the issue.

I tried the 38 and the Yak as examples of the old planes that don't have the problem, they have more freedom of movement so your head isn't locked in place, but you don't seem to be able to put your head against the percieved canopy. So it still limited but has much more movement compared to having your head locked :).

I tried turning on roll but that just made me sick and didn't fix it.

I tried renaming the HPS file to make it create another one, didn't change a thing.

HTC guys, any advice here?

This version should fix the issue, Would you please test it before we do a patch.

Download the file below into your aces high folder, and the run it directly.
http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/trirtest.exe

It is NOT an installation program , but rather simply a test executable.

I tried to run it by downloading "tritest.exe" and then moving it to my Aces High folder (In my case D:\AcesHigh) and running it from there.  I get the following message:

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.  Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."

It does not matter if I run it as Administrator or not.

I have Win7 64 bit.

Ok, now that we know someone is paying attention...:D

It is fixed.  Funny things happen to binary files that are uploaded as ASCII.

OK bug is gone from P-51, views are great. Hitting F10 in tower doesn't walk me forward and backwards now. Just one little thing. In the tower I jump from full forward to full rear Z axis with a slight head movement. Even a pitch change, head up or down will zoom me back and forth. This is only in the tower.

Edit: It takes 1" of  real head movement to move the Z axis from full back to front in the tower. I renamed my settings folder and tried again with no difference.

Mine crashes the game and pops a window "windows is looking for a solution..." It crashes as it starts building the cache.

It ran fine for me but, the download process popped up a bright red IE file type download warning telling me that the file was of an unusual unsigned file type, did I really want to download it. I had to right click on the link and just do a save as to get it downloaded. Tritest.exe dosen't have the Hitech Creations digital signature like all of their other downloads and executables it seems.

That was one bright red IE message.....

I should have had a clue when it wouldn't pin to the start menu.   :lol

I adjusted my Z axis and reduced the scaling but the behavior in the tower didn't change. I still go from full forward to back with a small head movement.
