TrackIR Centre problem

Hi,

I fly with a Logitech Extreme 3D that uses the Logitech Profiler software (latest version). Next to that i also use trackir 4.0 with also the latest software version.

As i recall (please correct me if im wrong), in LO FC2 there was a trackir ingame controller option. I miss that option within DCS A-10.

The problem: I cant set the same keystroke for trackir + Logitech Profiler cause the profiler wont accept an already used keystroke.

Is there an trackir centre option available within DCS A-10, which appears under another name? (center cockpit view for expample?).

I tried my keyboard (as input) but its to distracting. I really need the centre button & pause button at my fingers while i fly.

No there is not, and to be honest, I don't recall their being one in FC2 either but I have not looked at that keymap in a while.

My TIR center is mapped directly from the stick to the TIR software. DX4 is what the stick sends. The only gotcha is if I change usb ports TIR loses track of of the stick and I have to reset it.

Hi,

Sometimes...i really start to doubt if i still "have it". I have build every single PC, worked for ICT companies. I was the guy that could fix problems. But lately i notice that i dont have the "fix" anymore.

Why on earth have i been trying to map a macro key to my Logitech while i could simply press a joystick button as being my centre button...:cry:

Anyways, it works and offcourse the sollution was simple:music_whistling:

Problem solved, case closed. Lets fly!

Hi,

I didn't want to open up an extra thread as my problem is similar:

TrackIR-5 will not accept hotkeys while I'm ingame. As soon as I tab out of DCS my hotkeys work. It was working fine until yesterday, can't recall changing anything. Did a fresh TIR install, that didn't cut it.

Any Ideas?

Thanks for the Help,

Another guy was having this problem. Turns out another program was interfering. Make sure you don't have any other programs with the same hotkeys. Check to see if you have the key set to trap and/or toggle, too.

I've always had center on shift-1, which would interfere with a Ka-50 button for example, but that did not matter until now. Already changed the hotkey to no avail. Toggle is active, what does trap do?

EDIT: Just read up on the trap function... guess that would be it. I'll try it when I'm home, but I can't recall changing it... am I getting old? ^^

Thanks for the help so far!

I tried it, Trap actually was enabled and I guess always was. Disabling it made no difference though.

Here's the other thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=130809&highlight=trackir&page=2

My TrackIR centers fine, I still think it's a key interfering with TrackIR's somewhere.

Thanks for the hint, exactly hit my problem, as shadowplay seems to interfere...

First shadowplay didnt work (shadowplay didnt recognize DCS inwindowed mode), then it all worked for a few days, now TIR stopped accepting hotkeys ingame regardless of windowed or fullscreen mode... interesting behaviour

TrackIR Reset/Center Key

I am having difficulty finding a suitable alternative to F12 for TIR Reset/Center.

As I'm sure you are all more aware than I am, it turns out F12 is used In-Game as the Communications EXIT key.

Obviously there is no way to change that function in BS 2 or World (without programming ?) so I need to find a suitable key that I can program into TIR that is something Other Than F12.

I tried NumPad 5 since that is the Center View button ... but for some reason, I am unable to Program that button in my X52 Software (I don't know why but X52 software doesn't even recognize the keystroke ??!).

So the Real Problem for me is ... I have No Idea what Keystroke or Keyboard Key is Available that the Ka-50 Does NOT already use (or preferably any other DCS Sim because I'm sure to run into the same thing with P51 and A10).

Please Help.

This is hindering my learning process.

It does get hard to come up with an unused key, or group of keys. I have been using combinations of the Backspace key.

Ctrl + Backspace = Center

Shift + Backspace = Pause

Alt + Backspace = Precision

Though I have no doubt someone will use those keys combos sooner or later.

EDIT: I don't use an X-52 anymore but I don't recall having problems programming these keys.

Thanks Friend. I'll give that a try.

EDIT >> Except ... Can I reset those as Defaults in TrackIR ?

Never Mind.. Figured it out myself.

YES TrackIR DOES recognize Shift+Backspace

Can I reset those as Defaults in TrackIR ?

Yes. The function keys in TIR are profile specific so they can be different for different sims if need be.

The only thing TIR does not recognize, with respect to the keyboard, is the difference between left and right shift, alt or ctrl. The left and right are the same to TIR.

Now if only I could get Saitek Profiler to recognize Shift+Backspace as a single keystroke/Macro.

I'm not sure I have set it up right but I'll soon find out !!!

Thanks again.

Try toggling num-lock if the Saitek Profiler won't recognize keypad 5.

I did. Didn't do anything.

However, I did get it all resolved thanks to cichlidfan's suggestions.

Now I'm having other serious issues .. but I guess I should start a new thread.

In short, I cannot for the life of me, find ANY of my saved In-Game Profiles.

I even just saved another right now as a test and it's not where I aimed it to save it ?????

I think the newest patch might have muffed things up on me again !!

I've searched my entire computer and can't find ANY of my saved profile .lau's

They should be .diff.lua in case you did not know.

Snowtiger..make advanced key press for Shift+Backspace....

Look my profile at here..

Thanks cishlidfan .... I go into more detail in this other thread ... where you will see these profiles did have the correct file extension.
