Elwood Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hello, I have an headtracking control that I is preventing me to look around with any device, I tried to : .alt-c mouse look .joystick HAT .mapping another controller (xbox) to absolute camera position .keyboard numeric None of those are functional. I tried to remove any binding related to headtracking from General,every module UIlayer. Defaulting to default settings or repair dcs doesn't help.

Rudel_chw Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Thats normal behavior, if you use headtracking you dont need the other means of moving your head.

Elwood Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Thank you for your fast reply. But the issue is that I have no headtrack device installed on my system and its a brand new computer. Also, I removed every single axes binding, every plane, general too. https://imgur.com/a/qCA8uBk Moreover there are two important factors: I disable every single HID device, hidden or not. I have no issue till yesterday. The not existing headtrack is still sending a 0,0,0... coordinate position, so I can move the head for like 1/30 of a seconds.

Rudel_chw Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It looks like you may have a headtracking software installed, even if you have no physical device attached. Look on control panel -> programs, to see if you have eiter opentrack, freetrack or facetrachnoir installed.

Elwood Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 There is nothing, searched as a file, service, winreg, device manger. But still DCS found it :-D I mean look at the log: 2018-12-07 14:01:43.753 INFO INPUT: Device [Keyboard] created deviceId = -1 2018-12-07 14:01:43.767 INFO INPUT: Device [Controller (Xbox One For Windows) {FE5E17B0-F1A4-11e8-8001-444553540000}] created deviceId = -1 2018-12-07 14:01:43.767 INFO INPUT: Joystick created[Controller (Xbox One For Windows) {FE5E17B0-F1A4-11e8-8001-444553540000}], ForceFeedBack: no 2018-12-07 14:01:43.768 INFO INPUT: Device [Mouse] created deviceId = -1 2018-12-07 14:01:43.770 INFO INPUT: Device [HeadTracker] created deviceId = -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Is anyway on DCS to disable a peripheral or do you know how to retreive more infomrantions from the log? My verision is: 2.5.3.24984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Sorry, in order to make DCS easier to configure, its designed to autodetect your peripherals ... dont know how to disable that. Make a filesearch on Windows, looking for a file named "headtracker.dll" .. it was used by older headtracking software that you may not have installed anymore, but the dll was left behind. If you find it, rename it to something else (headtracker.dll.bak for example) and then try DCS again.

Elwood Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Why I'm not surpriced that an automatic feature is giving issue? :-D Sorry, I'm also very involved in sw/hw developement... Bu, it worked! As you suggested, I renamed the one in DCS C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin Hope I did not corrupt anything :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Why I'm not surpriced that an automatic feature is giving issue? :-D You've to keep in mind that most casual players hate when they have to do a configuration in order to get their game to recognize the hardware ... for example, getting American Truck Simulator to recognize your headtracking device is an excersise in frustration. In contrast, the auto detection feature of DCS works perfectly 99% of the time :) Sorry, I'm also very involved in sw/hw developement... Bu, it worked! As you suggested, I renamed the one in DCS C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin Hope I did not corrupt anything :-D You didnt .. that DLL is not a part of DCS, most likely was a leftover of the last tieme that you tried a headtracking software. Another way to fix it would be to open a command Windows and run: DCS_UPDATER Cleanup This DCS utility quickly checks the DCS program folders and removes every file that is not part of the official installation .. careful: it will remove any User MODs that you may have :) Glad your problem is fixed ...

Cool, is any way to run that command as dry run just to see what is not DCS? The mods now are in my user saved games directory :-] Thank you to let me flight tonight!

Dingo_Bob Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 if you run cleanup command, any not DCS offical files etc.. are moved to a _backup in the install directory, from there you can copy back anything you need or delete forever [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Modules are like Pokemon you gotta catch 'em all :joystick::lol::pilotfly: AMD Ryzen7 3700x, G-Skills 32Gb RAM @ 3200Mhz, MSI GTX1080Ti, TM Warthog (20cm extension by Sahaj), MFG Crosswind Pedals, Oculus Rift, Track Ir5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Cool, is any way to run that command as dry run just to see what is not DCS? Dont remember .. I know that it allows to either delete the foreign files or back them up, not sure if you can cancel at that point. Here is a short tutorial: x5DImUpk0WU The mods now are in my user saved games directory :-] I cautioned about it, because not every Mod works from saved games ... for example Suntsag's excellent Desert Farp goes into the program´s folder :) Best regards For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
