Wrecking Crew Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 DCS 28.1.34667.2 How to align the HMCS with my TrackIR? The HMCS position falls short and lower than the TrackIR view. It's hard to use the HMCS having to look at angles to the crosshairs. I've tried different TrackIR curves that do not help. The only thing that helps the alignment is to lower my chair all the way and really offset the TrackIR center, but that centering only works for the left view or right view. The HMCS crosshair is still too low. The Apache and F-16 have such a centering function (if I am correct about this). Please add an HMCS centering function to the A-10C II. I can't use the HMCS as is. The screenshots are of centering the TrackIR at the far bottom right of the front panel, and, the resulting HMCS crosshair position when looking left. But this only works for looking left and it is still a bit too low. Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.

BuzzU Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I agree that it lags behind where we look in Trackir. It's annoying and hard on the eyes to look out the corner of my eye. I'm blind in one eye and it's really bad looking out that side. I pretty much don't use the HMCS because of it. I complained when the A-10C II first came out but nothing was done about it. It's too tempting to just leave it shut off, so i'm going to go back to flying the A-10C again. She's still a good plane and fun to fly. Lot's of missions and campaigns to do. Easier on the memory. A good old farts plane. I just turned 80 a few days ago, so I qualify. Good luck with the HMCS. 1 Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecking Crew Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 After changing the A-10C II Real, Axis Commands, for TRACKIR_YAW the HMCS crosshair is much closer to the focal point. The change is to the Curvature - slide it all the way to the Left, i.e. -100. It is not a solution - the crosshair should be spot on. 1 Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.

Congratulations on your 80th. I just turned 60 myself but I just have a nagging suspicion I won't see 80. I love the fact you're playing this game. Speaks a lot about your character. May you have many more birthdays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I outlived everybody and I can't do my main passions of elk hunting and fly fishing anymore. So, gaming it is. The hardest part is trying to remember everything. Memory is not so hot now. So, I make a lot of notes. 3 Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyLobster Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I hope this gets traction. It really would be nice if it wasn't off. Can make it tough to keep things in focus and use the HMCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 -100 is a bit much. Moves too fast. -50 is more reasonable. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKreator Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The problem with the HMQS systems is that they all stay centered on the screen regardless of where you actually look with trackIR. It would nice if there was an offset function to make it move positions based on where you are looking on the screen. I’ve requested this as have many others over time, and its seems to go un-noticed, or it is not an easy thing to decouple from the screen space as a lot of us would like. You can make track ir move a farther distance relative to head movement but the HMQS is still staying in the center of the physical screen sadly.

Wrecking Crew Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 These TrackIR curves for Yaw, Pitch and Roll put the HMCS crosshair much closer to my point of view. The curves are very steep. I returned the DCS A-10C II Real, Axis Commands, for TRACKIR_YAW back to the normal straight line. The TrackIR curves can be changed while paused in DCS. The TrackIR Deadzone is the biggest culprit for the cursor mis-alignment. The less Deadzone, the better alignment. Some Deadzone was necessary for TrackIR Centering. I raised the TrackIR Smoothness to ~23-ish. Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.

Wrecking Crew Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Bump. This issue I'm having with the HMCS and TrackIR alignment is still annoying. I have a TrackIR Profile made for the A-10C II with insanely steep curves that I use in order to get the view lined up with the HMCS crosshair -- see my description above. The consequence is a jittery view and a less than enjoyable flight. For all other ac I have a smooth low-curve profile... I just did a A-10C II Forum search for "hmcs and trackir" and see a lot of related posts, a bunch from around late 2020. Are there any developer discussions about this? 20230528_a10c2.xml 20230825_Default.xml Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.
