sgtmike74 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Is track ir working for anyone while sitting in the driver's position? I can change my point of view with the mouse but my track ir5 doesnt seem to do anything. Ive checked the axis in the control settings and they work there but not ingame.
vicx Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 It's not just you. I do not think there is TIR support for this view yet.
TwilightZone Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 It's not just you.

vicx Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I just did some more testing and I noticed that 6dof tracking works in the Bino view quite well. I'm going to look for a way to kill the bino mask so that I can use that view and then try driving with the Rift. I WAS able to get some tracking motion into the CA driver and Weapon Station views BUT it was by replacing the new headtracker definitions with OLD trackir definitions that I found in \DCS World\Config\Input\Aircrafts\Default\trackir\default.lua So I replaced these iCommandViewVerticalAbs iCommandViewHorizontalAbs iCommandViewHorTransAbs iCommandViewVertTransAbs iCommandViewLongitudeTransAbs iCommandViewRollAbs with these iCommandPlaneViewHorizontal iCommandPlaneViewVertical iCommandPlaneZoomView iCommandViewRoll iCommandViewHorTrans iCommandViewVertTrans and I got movement but it wasn't the kind you will like. It looks like the trackir is emulating a mouse which is emulating a joystick. It's pretty wack. I think ED are probably doing some kind of axis emulation mode with the mouse in CA. It works for the most basic keyboard and mouse control, BUT it's a terrible idea going forward. It will really hold CA back. They should make the mouse in CA work just like in the aircraft.
sgtmike74 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 I hope so, it would be great to have that freedom of movement while driving a ground vehicle.
vicx Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 If you want to try driving around with a TIR/RIFT view in CA you can use the JTAC Bino view. I found the file to modify to remove the shadowmask. C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\FUI\Common\MELIOS.tga Modify the Bino shadowmask (delete the black parts to leave transparent regions). You can do this in paint.net or other photoshop type program. You can drive and fire from this view. Although aiming from here makes not much sense, firing while you are in this view is pretty good. It kind of gives you a commander view. The way that you can look around in this view with the TIR/RIFT is exactly how I would like the GT.driverview to work. Also it would be great if you could get the AI to control the gunnery and just give fire commands. You could sight something with the bino and ask the gunner to fire on your target.
