Squiggs Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 I currently use a combination of AiTrack and OpenTrack to do my head tracking in DCS. This works well enough for looking around the cockpit when flying, but it is not very good for startup procedures where I have to keep my head very still or the view jumps around or does all sorts of weird things. I would like to be able to be able to turn the view to whatever panel I need and fix it there (like with mouse look) and be able to toggle whatever switches I need. Is there a way of disabling OpenTrack and being able to use mouse look while it is disabled? I tried simply tabbing out and hitting stop on OpenTrack, but when I get back in the game it doesn't let me look around with the mouse at all. If I re-activate OpenTrack the head tracking returns as normal. Any suggestings on how I can keep a fixed view for a while to be able to do startup without the view moving around making me feel like I'm going to throw up? At the moment I am using Auto-Start because I can't stomach doing startups with OpenTrack.
MAXsenna Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 Use pause tracking in open track when you are looking where you want, or what's better. Adjust your curves and add some deadzones.Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
mkel2010 Posted July 1, 2024 Posted July 1, 2024 Another option would be to configure snap views for the various parts of the cockpit and switch to those as needed. This video does a pretty good job of explaining how to do it. I also use Voice Attack and have the snap views incorporated in it; he explains this as well at the end of the video. 2

That video was brilliant. Exactly what I was looking for! 2

If you decide to manipulate the snap views with Voice Attack, there is something to be aware of: Set the keypress times to at least .5 seconds. Anything less and they won;t work.
