TrackIR View Snaps to Wrong Position After Pause

[Liam Wonka]

Hi everyone,

I’m Liam Wonka, new to the forum and about 3 months into DCS World. While flying the F/A-18C, I noticed an issue where TrackIR sometimes snaps my view to the wrong position after pausing and unpausing. Instead of restarting the whole mission, I found that pressing F12 (recenter) after pausing TrackIR fixes it right away. It keeps the cockpit view stable and saves me from a lot of frustration. I just thought I’d share in case others encounter the same issue. If there are better fixes or alternative methods, I’d love to learn from the more experienced pilots here.

Blue skies,
Liam

Welcome to DCS

Yes that’s what recenter does with TrackIR, very handy. The only improvement suggestion I could make would be to remap that to an easier to find key or stick button than F12. But if that works for you don’t fix what ain’t broke

Hello there, I personally use the back and forward buttons on my mouse - one to stop tracking and other to reset it. Tried many keyboard combinations and shortcuts but this is most handy as when I turn my head and view in cockpit I'm about to press or interact with something or when I focus on a MFD while listen the explanations from mission or tutorial so everything is bellow my index finger. null
