[NO BUG] Looking down into F-14 cockpit with TrackIR v5


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I've been using TrackIR for over a year and it has worked great for me... Until the F-14 came along.

 

I can look up, left, and right without issue. When I look down into the cockpit, my view jumps all over the place. I've checked my TrackIR program and the reflectors are not going out of range. I've tried adjusting the curves and saturation for the pitch axis, but nothing seems to help. There definitely appears to be a bug.

 

I posted a video showing the problem in the Digital Combat Simulator Facebook group.

 

Thanks,

 

Tim Campbell

No problems at all here. But I use the Pro clip (The IR emitting one)

Same here. Use the clip, usually no problem. Suggestion: Check the 'Camera View' in the main screen for TrackIR. It will allow you to see what the camera sees. You might find that your camera location is an issue, resulting in the LEDs going out of the camera's field of view at the extremes of head movement. Camera placement adjustment would be required. I've had to do that a few times (in general, not just for this module).

I have had similar problems in the past and the solution can be any of the following:

 

Increase the TrackIR speed setting

Adjust the angle of the sensor and/or clip

 

Play around with these until you get the desired viewing limits.

Same here.

 

Looking down ie. Hyd Transfer Pump Switch , my view also jumps all over the place.

I've verified that TrackIR is at the proper angle. Increasing the axis speed doesn't help. I don't have this problem with other modules like the Viggen.

Hat clip here, no problems with TrackIR5 and looking down, even at that pesky hydraulic transfer pump switch. I'm seconding what Emmy says, but otherwise: tweak your curves more.

I had exact issue

 

I never faced such problem, and I thought it's a bug in F-14 but it's not. I changed my PC location recently and on new spot sun rays are hitting directly my TrackIR. These rays were the reason of making my TrackIR goes crazy! Just blocked rays and it's working now great for 3 days.

That looks like your reflection is going out of register on the tracker

also so sometime if you don't have the track IR window in the background you will also find this problem I have up graded my clip and have no problem what so ever with registration and or movement
