Title: Limited TrackIR field of view
Post by: Lusche on October 18, 2007, 07:00:06 PM

I have found that using Track Ir gives me a very limited rear view in F4U's when compared to standard HAT views.
The reason for this is that, when looking to the rear, I just can't push my virtual head back far enough. The maximum distance between viewpoint and headrest is much larger in hatview than in TIR views.
This results in following problem:

Standard hatview, max distance between head & headrest:

The same with TIR:

This seems to be a limitation within AH, not the TIR hard or software.

I did only test a few planes yet. So far only F4U's seem to be affected, but the disadvantage is tremendous in that very case.


EDIT: Yes, I know it's wrong, but I can't change thread title from "vield" to "field" anymore :o

And I always wondered why I felt so totally uncomfortable in F4U's :rolleyes:

If this could be fixed, I'd probably fly them more :aok

You can see the difference...

It's impossible to get more distance between the virtual head and the headrest when using TIR. It's reaching the limit earlier than the normal adjustable view.

It's not a limit impeded by TIR itself. And in other planes the effect is less noticeable or not there at all.

Just got the T-IR, and love the corsairs. Found this issue as well. Could this be corrected, so the motion limit is the same for TrackIR as it is for hat views?





Pwease, oh pwease, Sahnta?

I would love to see this addressed as well.
