Mors Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) Good day to you all, somewhat rehashing what I stated to DCS support here; the Ka50iii module appears to be breaking head tracking whilst in cockpit on my system. No other module seems to have the same issue, however, when it breaks in the Ka50 all other modules are affected and tracking only restarts after quitting to the main menu. System: 3080, i12700KF, 32GB Ram, dedicated 2Tb SSD After the purchase of the Ka50 module I started having this issue so did the following as I thought it was hardware/system related initially; • Clean system install (dedicated rig) all drives to zero • Clean DCS install • Clean module install • Slow check of all files What happens? Jump into a mission with the Ka50 and head tracking (any flavour but for this example let's use genuine TrackIR) works fine from the get-go. But, after a random duration between 10 to 40 minutes the head tracking will cease recognising inputs while in the cockpit and the view will fix in the forward position before slowly rotating until the view is directly behind. Why isn't it my hardware? It can't be the hardware. TrackIR still functions outside of the game, in the game TrackIR inputs are recognised in both the Controls Dialog screen (Axis Tune shows the inputs as working fully). TrackIR is still recognised in the ESCAPE menu screen (Choose coalition red/ blue etc), this is a screen where the view is external but head movements are mirrored on screen (you can look around the scenery). Also, TrackIR works perfectly when first entering the cockpit for a period of time. Additionally; • All my USBs are set not to sleep. • TrackIR app and DCS given priority. • I've deleted the Saved Games folder, more than once. What happens when it 'happens'? View will freeze, followed by a slow rotate until looking behind in the cockpit. No head movement inputs are recognised in the cockpit. Swapping to any other aircraft doesn't fix the issue, it persists across all modules. How do I fix it? Currently, quitting to the main menu will restore tracking across the modules/ aircraft (as far as I've tested). I can jump into a Kiowa and fly for an hour or so no problems, but as soon as I try the Ka50 the problem will reappear after a short period and head tracking will freeze up in the cockpit. Questions 1. Has anyone else encountered anything similar? 2. Is there a fix? 3. Is there any file that can be examined to reveal the root of the problem? Edited June 16 by Mors
