fmedges Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I love the functionality of the JHMCS but I hate using it with my track ir. I feel like for me it doesn’t translate well from reality to at least my setup. Does anybody else feel this way and have remedied their issues. I honestly would rather leave it off at this point.

Py Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 What issues in particular annoy you? I'm finding I leave it off for everything except A-A engagements currently.
fmedges Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 What issues in particular annoy you? I'm finding I leave it off for everything except A-A engagements currently. I don’t know if I would say annoying but maybe distracting would be the right word. I have never used a real one but I would assume that the actual implementation was made to add functionality to natural head movement. I find the (aiming?) cross super distracting and it actually takes away from my SA because to me the head movement to use it (with my track ir curves) is odd and unnatural. It’s almost as if I spend more time focused on the cross and it’s position than I do focusing on things or targets beyond the JHMCS symbology. Hopefully that makes sense.

ForceGhost Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I find that if it's on when I'm not engaging in A2A combat I notice and focus on it. As soon as I get into an engagement I don't even notice it's turned on until it's saved my ass.
wilbur81 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 It's bound to my HOTAS and I only turn it on when WVR and toting the 9X... Works absolutely perfectly for me and not distracting at all. I only turn the brightness up half way. i7 8700K @ Stock - Win11 64 - 64gb RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC
Tholozor Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 My recommendation would be turning the HMD brightness down if you're finding it distracting, just enough that it's still visible in your current lighting conditions without getting distracted by it. You can also toggle the HMD display on and off with the recce mark switch on the stick without having to turn the knob.

I agree, but IMO it's a limitation of using a flat screen. I find it works really well in VR.
Badlego Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 from my use of the su-27 hmcs i advise you to not use any curves but amplified linear head movement. its easier to get used it than using any curves. but thats just my personal experience.
TechRoss Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I find it seems a bit low. When I am looking directly at my HUD it is over the UFC and I have to look up quite a lot to get it where I want it. Would be nice if we had an option to move it up and down in our view.

I don't use any curves also, just linear movement. JHMCS works great.

How do you set it to linear movement? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Badlego Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 i mean setting a constant amplifier for the rotational axis in trackir.

Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk This is really annoying. :mad: An option to turn it off when looking forward should be added. I need to constantly turn it off and on manually and its annoying.
LooseSeal Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I also find it a few degrees too low for my normal eye line and find myself looking up a lot. But my main issue with it is that (for my setup at least) there is a tiny, tiny little gap at the top of the UFC where the JHMCS doesn't work or isn't recognised... if I look above the gap, the AIM-9 locks; when I look below the gap the seeker resets and has to reacquire. It is insanely annoying.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I also find it a few degrees too low for my normal eye line and find myself looking up a lot. It's probably because the JHMCS is centred but, as the default view is slightly heads down, it gives the impression you've got to look up
Ignition Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 You can turn the it off and on by using the RECCE Event Mark Switch. Yes thanks. I know its not ideal but I use a rotary for the brightness so I free a button on the hotas. It takes more time in turning on though. I wish there were an option to automatically turn off (or the decluter mode with the cross) when looking forward since as Flamin_Squirrel said the default view is looking a bit down.
memoric Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Somebody else got problems to see the HMD in front of bright background (clouds for example)? I've turned the brightness of the HMD at max, and neary see nothing... Is this normal? Thanks
