SeaQuark Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I'm finding it awkward to check 6 with my Track IR5, have to strain upwards in my chair to see over the in-game seat. Is it possible to somehow link the Yaw and Y axis, so that whenever I turn my head to look over my shoulder, my pilot's head will automatically lift up, so he can see over the backseat of the P-51?

Tone71 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Could you not lean slightly to the left or right of the seat, rather than spinning your view on the spot and trying to and look over it? Edit: Checking Truview (I think it's called) in the TrackIR control panel makes this easier.

SeaQuark Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 That works OK, but I liked the idea of being able to efficiently check 6 simply by turning my head, and not having to move around in the chair. You end up doing it so often. Or create a Custom Snap View for the view you want. Might just go with that. I was hoping to use Track IR for all viewing purposes, but it seems difficult to get my settings to work smoothly for all needs-- checking 6, checking instruments, tracking a target to the front/side, tracking a target while zoomed in, etc. I see lots of gameplay videos where people's TrackIR looks totally effortless, so maybe I need to keep fiddling with my settings, or just get better at it.

xaoslaad Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I think you just need to get used to it. I have the default smooth profile and it works great. It did take me awhile to get used to it as I never had TIR before DCS and even for quite awhile after, but once i did it was no issue at all.

tommytank Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Same topic, different question. New to TrackIR, finding when I need to flick a cockpit switch or something, I'm having to chase the switch with the mouse as my head moves. How do others overcome this?

47driver Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I switched to freetrack and built a 3 led setup. The tracking and interface is much better and I get a much greater range of head movement. Can still use the trackir camera by using the Optitrack SDK. http://naturalpointofview.blogspot.com/p/trackir-cameras-with-freetrack.html?m=1 One trick I used to overcome "chasing" the mouse with head movement was to map the mouse scroll wheel click button to pause/freeze the headtracker so I could switch what I needed then click the scroll wheel again to unpause and resume headtracking.
