tracker ir 5 is driving me mad

[chaser]

Ok so looking up down and around the cockpit is fine, but when i look backward to the wings - i cant see the wing on my left side, but see the inside of the cockpits back wall, but the movement is fine and feels natural - on my right side i struggle to the 3'oclock position before the tracker goes mad

 

Any suggests

thanks

Adjust your clip position so that it doesn't go mad anymore if you look to the right.

 

Also, make sure that you don't have any lights in the background that could let it drive nuts too. Adjusting the TIR profile can also help.

Are you using a hat clip or IR?

I just had this try adjusting the yaw and pitch profiles to get what you need I lowered the initial ramp so it's not so sensitive for switches looking in the cockpit but raised the outer ramp so I could look all the way back without it going mad.

First: do not attempt to use other people's profiles. Everything is completely subjective to your environment, and your position relative to the camera and you'll find others' generally useless.

 

Second: Understand what the axes you are controlling are relative to your movement in the real world.

X = lateral whole head left/right movement relative to camera

Y = vertical whole head up/down movement relative to camera

Z = whole head movement towards/away relative to camera

Pitch = look up/down movement relative to camera

Roll = head leaning left/right relative to camera

Yaw = look left/right movement relative to camera

 

Third: understand additional factors will affect the camera, especially bright lights behind your own head. Lamps or bright, sunny windows in the FOV will confuse the sensor. In the "camera" tab of the software you will find a slider for "light filter threshold. Adjusting this will help a lot in sub-optimal conditions. If the software is "going crazy" as you put it, try adjusting this until it behaves. If you have to turn the slider up to the point where the software isn't responding to your actual head movement, you will need to make adjustments to your environment i.e. drawing shades, moving or turning off lamps.

 

 

With an understanding of how the software works, you can begin tuning its response to produce the desired effect. I recommend leaving X, Y, Z, and roll at 1:1 and beginning with adjustments to pitch and yaw.

 

In the "profiles" tab, first click the "+" symbol to create a new profile. Name it "chaser" or whatever you like. Check the box labeled "exclusive" so that this is the only profile used.

 

Select the "yaw" axis from the drop-down axis menu. Observe the response of the unit to your head movement. You will want to click on the points on the axis graph and adjust them so that the software response is looking 180 degrees to the rear at a point where you can still comfortably see your entire screen. You may check or uncheck the "mirror" box to adjust the response while looking left vs. looking right individually or together.

 

Repeat this process for the "pitch" axis. You'll want to be looking 90 degrees straight up and straight down while still comfortable being able to view your screen. Once you are satisfied with your initial settings, press the disk icon to save your profile and launch the simulator.

 

Enter a cockpit of an aircraft where you can engage some type of reliable level-flight autopilot like the A-10C or Su-25T. Engage level flight autopilot and look around. If necessary, you can make adjustments to your axis response in the TrackIR software while the game is running.

Have a look at this video. IMHO, this is one of the best 'how to setup TIR' videos out there.

Thanks I have but my curves are much higher than the guys in the video as i get very little movement that low down

thanks very much most helpful, I cant figure out a way to open dcs in windows mode so i can get the tracker software up and running

Hit alt-enter to switch between windowed and fullscreen.

Adjust your resolution to a value lower than your desktop display in order to make DCS take up less space on your screen.

hat clip

I never could get the hat clip to work well. The IR works a lot better.

No issues with the hat clip here.
