Help with Trackhat clip plus and DCS World

[sobe]

I just received my Trackhat clip plus and the head tracking camera.

 

 

 

I tried the trackhat clip plus with my old Trackir camera and software and it worked.

 

However, when I attached the Trackhat camera and software, I get the three green plus signs [plus one red plus sign], and the left camera light is blue and the right camera light is red (?) and the clip does not work in DCS.

 

 

 

I tried both the flightgear and the freetrack 2.0 enhanced protocols.

 

 

 

The mapping properties scales and the green crosses move, but the cockpit in the game does not.

 

 

 

I have deleted my controls for trackir in the F18 game controls>axis setup and in the game detection tab, I inserted DCS.exe in the bin folder.

 

 

 

However, no matter what I do, the software will not work in DCS.

 

 

 

If someone has the Trackhat clip plus, software and camera working, please let me know what I am doing wrong.

 

 

Update:

If I start the trackhat software with the Freetrack 2.0 enhanced protocol and the default.ini, then at the top of the trackhat software box, it says: “trackhat 1.2p7 opentrack:: default.ini::Black Shark” and the software works in Black Shark but no other module. If I use the Flightgear protocol, no module works.

As far as I've found the only protocol that works is freetrack 2.0 enhanced.

 

 

I had this issue setting it up for a friend and the only thing that seemed to solve it was simply restarting the PC. To this point the issue has been solved.

 

 

Providing that the Trackhat opentrack software is picking up the red centre cross and 3 green crosses then trackhat is working. You shouldn't have to assign any axis to Trackhat in-game as it seems to do it all automatically and possibly by doing this you've buggered something up.

 

 

A possible repair of DCS may solve the issue but by the sounds of it Trackhat is working properly.

 

 

It can be a bit more fussy than Trackir, but then it's half the price.
