thekow Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Only got my first modules the other day. I have been using opentrack for various games but i can seem to get any good settings for dcs. If anyone has good mapping or settings can you post them? When using OT and a marker I can not see the left or right side panels of the AC. But i can not disable tracking and use the hat of the joystick for some reason. If i stop tracking it just locks the view to what ever it was looking at I can not use the joystick to look around even the snap to keyboard maps don't work. Only if i restart a flight with the OT disabled i can joystick look... any help there?? Any one have any good mapping to be able to use OT with a marker to look around the panels?
edmuss Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Working on each axis in turn. Set the curve in opentrack to be linear (straight line) with a large maximum deflection (180° for rotational axes). Set the input angle (how far you want to rotate your head to get to the maximum deflection). The larger you set your input angle the more stable the view will be at the centre position but you'll have to look out of the corner of your eyes more to still see the monitor at the extremes of movement. When you're in the cockpit you want to use, turn towards the rear panels that your want to look at, if the view overshoots then alt tab back to the opentrack curve editor and reduce the maximum deflection till it's in the right place. If you're having to strain your eyes sideways too much then reduce the input angle. Repeat the above with all 6 degrees of freedom and that should give you the range of movement that you require. You can then add curves to the lines in the curve editor to give you finer control in the centre position. Hopefully that all makes sense, it's been years since I set up and used opentrack though 2 Ryzen7 7800X3D / RTX3080ti / 64GB DDR5 4800 / Varjo Aero / Leap Motion / Kinect Headtracking TM 28" Warthog Deltasim Hotas / DIY Pendular Rudders / DIY Cyclic Maglock Trimmer / DIY Abris / TM TX 599 evo wheel / TM T3PA pro / DIY 7+1+Sequential Shifter / DIY Handbrake / Cobra Clubman Seat Shoehorned into a 43" x 43" cupboard.
Mandoble Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Suffering similar issue with opentrack: no way to disable/enable it in-game so that POV gets re-enabled/re-disabled. Is that possible at all? Or DCS just disables POV forever once it detects opentrack tracking the first time?
