This is a weird one. Last night I noticed that DCS wasn't reading the full output of TrackIR correctly for pitch. In other words, when I look full up with TrackIR, DCS only sees half of that input. To test this, I chose "tune combo axis", and the square cursor was only showing 45% the movement. I checked TrackIR, and it was putting out the full 90 degrees of up. DCS just wasn't seeing it.

I had been playing around with OpenTrack software for a week. So, I then closed TrackIR and used OpenTrack. Looking "full up" in OpenTrack, DCS now sees "full up". My working assumption here is that since OpenTrack is viewed by DCS as "TrackIR", playing around with with OpenTrack again had corrupted the way that DCS "reads/polls" the output of real TrackIR.

This is sort of confirmed by clicking on Rescan Devices in DCS while looking straight up with TrackIR. After doing this a few times, DCS started seeing 75% of that pitch, up from just 45%.

Does this make any sense? It's hard to explain clearly. Thanks!
