TrackIR Question

[chris2802]

Hi all

Just got trackir finally and it's great, but i normally like to fly with the view zoomed out almost as far as it will go. Now the standard centred position in trackir is much closer than I like. How can I set it up so I'm further away again??

 

Thanks

Lean forward in your seat. Recentre TrackIR. Lean back. :)

You could always just use the in-game zoom in / out feature to adjust it to your preference.

I disabled my TrackIR zoom axis, though.

Arm505s method is fail safe though, and can be adjusted in game. As he said, get closer to the sensor, recenter F10? (cant belive I forgot, it just comes natural in game), then sit back. voila you zoomed out.

I disabled the zoom axis too. I just use the numpad for that.

All the way out is a long way, how do you see details. I found once I started using it that i was zoomed in more than usual anyway because of the ease to just glance where you want to look.

 

Anyways I use the numpad to zoom.

Well I used to zoom in to look at my instruments... a bit of a pain in the ass, but no more so than looking around with the hat switch. I just like the wide field of view you have zoomed out, especially in the 25t where the canopy creates some awkward blind spots.

 

EDIT - What I was hoping to do with track ir was to be as far out as usual then be able to lean forward to the monitor to look closely at the instuments.

My previous post might have been a bit confusing.

 

Try this.

Open \Config\View\view.lua and edit the numbers shown below.

 

-- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}.

CameraViewAngleLimits = {}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {20.0, 120.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {20.0, 120.0}

 

You could try {40, 180} or something.

Perfect... thanks very much!
