TrackIR z-axis

[erjdriver]

When I assign the trackir z-axis to the longitudinal axis and zoom to a slider - it seems to be ok except that when i bring the slider back to the starting position - there's still a little bit of zoom enabled.

 

I like assigning the trackir z-axis to zoom - the problem there is that it assigns a little bit of zoom and am too close to the dash.

 

What do peeps use?

 

I need the ability to move in closer and look at the hud - the default assigning of trackir z-axis to longitudinal axis is not close enough.

I use TIR for head position only and have zoom on a rotary. Works fine for me but I did put a dead zone on the midpoint. My rotary also has a center bump. Things you may want to try are increasing TIR sensitivity on that axis and setting a custom default head position.

FYI I use the same method, I tried altering the axis response in TrackIR software but found best results deleting TrackIR z axis in the aircrafts' control settings and using a rotary on the throttle (X55).

I experimented on a free flight in most flown aircraft, then accessed 'settings' from ESC menu, that way I could quickly compare one setup to another without reloading.

Experiment a bit and whatever works for you, works.

I have TrackIR x,y and z axes running.

For the z axis I have more forward dead zone than aft.

I also use Cockpit Camera fwd/aft as an override set to two spare stick base buttons on my T16000m.

Zoom I have on a slider.

 

DCS seems to take a while to acknowledge when I've returned my head position to normal.

I do a lot of TrackIR centring though if I wait long enough DCS can catch up.

The other headtracking axes work fine for the most part.

DCS also seems to throw a bit of Zoom in when I look down into the cockpit, although at close quarters it's difficult to differentiate Zoom and Z anomalies.

Extending the z dead zone forwards has helped a bit but I've not got it perfect yet.

On a related note, I've just caught up with Proper Neck for DCS World I found it sorted a lot of my head position problems.

I still use a separate Zoom slider but Proper Neck makes looking around the cockpit feel much more natural.
