Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right subforum, if that is the case, please have this moved. So, I am re-entering the flight sim world with DCS, I am (or was) a fairly experienced flight simmer with some experience in F4, FC1, IL2 series but lost interest a long time ago. The itch came back a few weeks ago and currently get acquainted with the SU-25T. I got a Thrustmaster 16000m HOTAS. I currently use OpenTrack + AITrack with a Logitech Brio cam for viewing and I have to say that I have not found a solution that feels well yet. Finding ground targets is difficult enough but in my current situation pretty much impossible.
All in all, the head movement is shaky and does not feel smooth. The lighting in my room is generally good and I setup the curves in OpenTrack with some dead zone and tweaked it so I am not doing 240 degrees head turns, e. g. I use pitch, yaw, roll, x, y, z. Still, it sometimes has its "hiccups" I do not see in videos at Youtube. Is that what I can expect at best from this setup? Would TrackIR be a solution for this?
Hiccups and zooming is worst part of the experience. If I zoom in by leaning forward in order to get a better view on the Shkval but I usually just zoom above that. If I zoom in with the HOTAS wheel the zoom is noce but my head position is too shaky to acutally focus on something.
Is anyone using a similar setup and can share his OpenTrack curves? How do you guys zoom?
