Title: Here are some TrackIR profiles to try !
Post by: noTch on May 13, 2011, 02:22:21 AM
Ok, everyone says try this or do that but let's put some profiles out there for a noob to use.  :joystick:
Here is mine Aces High II (http://www.mediafire.com/?sgao7syk6p0p4fb)  It is an .xml file and will
need to be inserted into your Natural point directory under the profiles folder. Once there it will show up on your
titles tab in TrackIR. To view it in the Profiles tab just select it from the Profile drop down bar.Select it for Aces High and VIOLA, you have a profile to tweak from :cheers:
One other tid-bit that helped me, & I think it is include with the profile, was to uncheck the TrueView under the motion adjustment area.

I would like to encourage anyone who has a profile they think is useful to please submit it for use by others. It
may stop all the head-banging that is occurring on desktops around the world :rock

I have one of the older TrackIR 3 Pro units, so I use a profile for TrackIR version 4 software. (http://kenshelby.us/docs/bino-aces-high-profile.xml)

Here is one for TrackIR 5 with the Track Clip Pro. Don't know how well it will work with the Hat Clip.

Just to specify, I am using TrackIR 4 camera and Proclip with version 5.1.200(build 9414)  The speed is set to 1 and smooth is 25
Something that is very helpful is that I have a button set to "View Tracker Center"

Neat thing about this profile is I can look back and then up in a very fluid motion. Also, I can look forward up then around in the up postion.
Also have a neat pano feature when the head view window is up in the TrackIR program. In the upper left corner is a display drop down menu that has an option for "show Pano". This is a pretty cool for getting a feel for what you might see in the cockpit.  If you do not have it, let me know I will see if I can include it in my download :salute

Great idea Notch  :aok  I'd share mine but I'm using the default at the moment.  I'll give yours a whirl though

Finally loaded it up and WOW.  That's a nice profile notch.  MUCH better visibility than my old one but it's a tad 'too fast' for me if you know what I mean.  I'll probably have to take the sensitivity down just a bit or practice about 30 hours to get used to not snapping my head around on the merge and wind up looking back at my headrest.

I've got the ministick on my throttle slaved to the move head right, move head left, move head forward, move head back, and I can REALLY see out the back now.

Thanks brother <S>

You're welcome, bro.  :aok   When you get the tweak done, post your profile back here & let's see if it is what others might need.





ps  that is for a triple 20" screen setup(60" total) so that may be why it may be a tad quick :devil

I'm contemplating going three screen just for the eye candy.  Problem is I'm not sure exactly where I'd put the third one.  But yep I'm going to be tweaking just a tad otherwise it's freaking PERFECT! 

Thanks man <S>

Dicto you should put them so you have all 3 side by side and set it up that way. triple monitor with track ir is awesome. I made a short video of it here . The only problem is with it, how I had to sit messed my line up of cam and pro clip.

That screen set up is very nice :)

I always ask this question "How do I convince my Mrs that three screens are essential for my well being "

I have tried to convince her but to no avail  :)

G35 headphones are nice as well :old:

You look like you are good at boxing as well  :)

Well notch, I've been messing with my own setup and have gotten to where I think it's half decent. I decided to try a few other to see how other set these. Well I've downloaded all the ones I can find around here and other threads I dropped them into the "profiles" folder. When I look for them in the TrackIR program I can't find them. Is there some way they must be named to be seen? Any help would be great.

I'll check it in a minute.  Looks like it may be late next year on the triple screen for me as Squids TV bzzrrrted Friday and I've been thinking of switching to LCD instead of plasma anyway.  So it made sense to give him one of mine instead of going and buying something that he's going to use for three months. 

Notch I haven't forgotten.  I just didn't tweak yours.  I've acclimated to it

I figured out what I did wrong. When I saved the files I renamed them after the author, and those were the names I was looking for. Turns out the program displays the name as it was saved by the author. Most people save them as AH2 or spell of out. AP I have 3 ah2, and a number of aces highs. :)

I got an xml file editor and edited the files to match the names. I'm going thru them as I can. Thanks again.

Hey like your profile...thanks.  But, i think i still have something wrong.   When looking back, my view is always pushed up tight against the back of seat, therefore no six view...cant see the back of plane any suggestions...thanks in advance. :bhead

no not really :(  I have just learned to dealt with it & tried to keep them at my 7 or 5 o'clock so I can see em kill me  :rofl  Seriously, I just look back & lean to the side and I can usually see what is back there.  The only exceptions are the F4U's, the F6F's. Can't really see around them to well :mad:

My favorite thing about this profile is that I can look straight out the front windscreen, then go straight up, turn my head(while still looking up) either way and still track something without it zipping all over the place. 

I will again admit that it does seem a little jerky to a single monitor, but I use it more to see periphery on three monitors with out having to move my head so much.
There is a video of ebfd11's trackir and triple monitors, where he seems to be looking at the edges to see stuff.  When KAZ gave me his profile to try, mine was the same way.  My neck seemed a little sore and precision seemed harder when you moved around a lot along with the difficulty of centering.

With this profile, I can make a pass say through a Vbase and track a gun pit to see if it is still shooting :aok

Notch, your settings are wayyyyyy too quick for me. So far I like Dyran's set-up best. He seems to sit farther back in the seat. When you turn to look back you lean back a bit more and it snaps to a good "6" view, even in the blue planes.
Title: Re: Here are some TrackIR profiles to try !
Post by: noTch on November 20, 2011, 12:08:39 PM
yes it is quick, it is designed to lessen the movement of your head.  I tend to use more of my periphery to see stuff when I use it :aok

Pay attention to yourself with other profiles and I bet you are actually turning your eyeballs to the center of the screen to look to the side of the plane while your head is at the opposite corner of the screen.  With practice, looking to the left or right is a matter of small head adjustments not exorcist like movements of your head.

I would love to try Dhyrans if anyone wants to send it to me, just shoot me a pm  :rock

PS   LOVE your cartoons, they get me rollin with laughter.  Keep 'em coming :aok
