Freetrack works in Options but not in game

[Pakman]

Hi,

 

I am using freetrack with a Wii Remote over bluetooth in Vista 64.

 

In Freetrack, I see the head moving. and in the options of DCS I see a TRackIR.

When I use Axis Tune tool, I can see movements in Yaw and Pithc, but very small movemnts.

 

But when I start a mission, it doesn't work. I can move the head by mouse.

but if I activate Mouse control from FreeTrack, it works too but then i have no mouse...

 

 

 

I found several NewInput.dll which I tried from here

The original: no action in options.

the english one: error message when starting a mission.#

the russion with joystick bugfix: works only in options

 

Any ideas? :cry:

but it is still such a little movement...

Have you done this yet?

Once you apply the fix then its all in the FT settings to dial in a good profile.

 

Can you show/tell me how your using the wii remote, I was thinking of getting one instead of using this webcam. Hows your fps rate on the wii remote?

I typically see 95 to 100 fps on mine. Vista 64, using the BlueSoleil stack.

The technical problem that I have is I need to be using an LED point model with IR LEDs that better match the Wiimote's camera (as in 950nm wavelength). I currently use the TrackClip pro, and it is not a great match (wavelength-wise) with the Wiimote.

 

The other (non-technical) problem is that starting up the Bluetooth and the Wiimote every freakin' time gets to be old before very long. There is a lot to be said for having a USB connected device like the TrackIR, convenience-wise. Unfortunately, the typical USB connected webcam approach (as typically used by FreeTrack users) doesn't have as nice a frames per second, and puts a lot more processing load upon your CPU.

 

I've posted in another thread on this at more length. You may find it to be food for thought before spending money on a Wiimote:

As I posted there, I will probably make the switch over to TrackIR. I could make my FT/Wiimote setup work better by switching to a 950nm IR LED based point model, but that still leaves the Bluetooth & Wiimote startup routine (and batteries).

hi,

 

I use SFH485P diodes and they work great. Fps for the wii is always above 95 fps.

 

freetrack is now working,

first thing was DCSFreeTrackRuFix,

second the options for Freetrack / trackIR were deep at the right side... I had to use the scroll bars... oh man!

 

but it id working. I have to learn but I think deadzones are really important.

 

not moving the head and body just to look straight forward is very exhausting. he whole system works very sensitive in default settings

[CyBerkut]

Crank the smoothing settings (slider bars) up in the FreeTrack controls. Remember, there are two places in there to look at / tweak... One controls the global settings, and the other is specific to the profile you are adjusting / using.

 

Keep experimenting until you get what you like.
