Title: Track ir trirtest4.exe
Post by: hitech on April 06, 2012, 12:19:50 PM
have a new test version that I hope fixes the Track Ir Issues.

Please download this file directly into your aces high folder and then run it instead of running Aces High.


http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/trirtest4.exe

Everything should be as in test3 except gunners should now function correctly . test 3 gunning would not work in most planes and vehicles. Please download and test.

Shows how much I gun, I never thought to test them.  :lol   The 8" ship turret really cranks around fast since the last time I tried it.


I tested TIR with gunner positions in aircraft, ships, vehicles, and field guns. Everything works properly.

Everything I have flown so far seems to be working great, no problems yet.

Centering in the 110C doesn't seem to be taking me to the F10 saved position.  Ki84 isn't either.

I tested the A6M Family, The P40 family, the P38 Family & the F6F. All checked out. I also checked out the ship guns. They too were in good working order.

Note on MODE 2 (Realized this with ship guns)
At one point in the past, I had my mouse, AND my yolk, both configured to controll the turret at the same tim while in mode two. Now, I can only have one configured. Anyone know when this changed? or can point me to the trhead that is talking about this?

Both work for me. Make sure you started the right version of the test file.

You know what, when the map changed I shut the game down for a few minutes and forgot to run the tritest when I got back into the game.

I retract what I said about the Ki and the 110C

Simple fix. Rename the test file aceshigh.exe and use it until the update.

It was a path issue. My Aces High is not running from the normal folder. For some reason it is installed at the root of my C. Unfortunately, when I run the fix it gives me an error about the game not being in the normal installation directory.

What is the default installation directory for AH? I can create a Junction there.

Post by: FLS on April 06, 2012, 09:25:34 PM
You don't run the file to install it. The file is a test replacement for aceshigh.exe. You put the file in your Aces High folder where you find aceshigh.exe then run the test file to start Aces High.

Post by: xStrato on April 06, 2012, 09:27:40 PM
I am uninstalling, reinstalling, and copying over my copy of the old folder back to the game to try to fix this. I hope I can get it all accomplished before FSO. Wish me luck.

Post by: FLS on April 06, 2012, 09:29:54 PM
You don't need to do any of that. You just need to follow the instructions Hitech posted with the file. Put the file in your Aces High folder and run it.

I losted something. Why this new patch?  
Do we had some problem on a gv?

Oh, I forgot this:

"Everything should be as in test3 except gunners should now function correctly . test 3 gunning would not work in most planes and vehicles. Please download and test."

DONT DO THAT!!!!! You will be screwed on the next patch

Tritest4 has made the rear views in the F4U-1a/c/d/4 worth using in multi axis mode. Multi axis mode shows the limitations of the early AH cockpit models and I hope some like the Yak's will be updated soon.

I still have to revert to 2-axis mode to fly the IL2 becasue the gunsight is not a reflector type. Any chance we can get either the front post added onto the hood or a PBP or PAK inside?

Yep, it's a new version - albeit a test version - that lets you go anywhere and do anything.

Eek!  :O 

Just for the auto update or even if you manually download and install it?

Not sure if this was addressed in one of the other test versions.  Have not tested in this one, popped into a M3 and my default position had changed.. Sitting very low in cabin looking at center of steering wheel.  Can't move up/down/left/right.  Can only drive if in upper gun position.  There everything seems to work.. If this has already been addressed, then never mind.. Will try the latest test version tonight.  Thanks

Either.  The patch depends on the executable being the one that came with the complete install.

Reasserting:  DO NOT COPY OR RENAME this test executable to "aceshigh.exe" or you will be screwed!

Post by: FLS on April 09, 2012, 09:09:56 AM
Thanks. If I messed anyone up I'll send them the old executable.

Just to point it out, trirtest4.exe appears to have sorted the issues I've noticed as well.  I only had a chance to fly a handful of aircraft, but it worked fine.

On the next patch, you will have to download and install the full version.

I still have the original executable. I just make a shortcut to the test file. Next time I'll recommend the shortcut to Dave. If he deleted his original executable I'll send him a copy of mine if he wants to avoid the full download.
