TrackIR Hotkeys not working in DCS World


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have started using my new gaming computer, and almost everything is working fine now.
I have copied my TrackIR profile from the old to the new machine, but it's not working as before. 
The hotkeys I've defined work fine in TrackIR itself. But as soon as I run DCS World, my hotkeys are overridden by the ones in the TrackIR "Default" profile.

Example: I used the "-" (minus) key on the numpad to center the view. I know that this key is bound in some of the DCS modules, and I removed these bindings. But still, the "-" key does nothing. Instead, I have to use "F12" which normally is used in the communication menus.
I'd be grateful for a hint how to fix this.

I use Arrow Up for my center view since it seems universally assigned in flight sims for plane control, which I don’t use. Plus it’s easy to find. Now that I read this I don’t recall deliberately un-assigning this in DCS. Have you tried simply using a different key? Just to test. (Oh I see you tried F12) Could “-“ be hard bound somehow? Maybe check the General category as well as the aircraft module.

I've never assigned or un-assigned keys in DCS regarding to TrackIR. I don't use the Keyboard but Joystick bindings though for re-centering.

What happened sometimes to me is, that the key identifier was wrong when I plugged in the device AFTER I started TrackIR for some reason. 

(But then it didn't work in TrackIR either iirc). 

Don't know of this is of any help though, sorry.

I've had this before.  There is some checkbox in the TrackIR driver that you can use to just force the profile you want, instead of allowing TrackIR to pick the profile based on the game you're playing.  Unless you have the situtation where DCS is trapping the assigned keys for Pause and Center due to double mapping, I'll bet thats what it is.

The problem is that somehow the TrackIR is switched back to the "Default" profile when I run DCS World.
I saw this after exited from the game.

And I think I have found out how to prevent this:
I ticked the "Exclusive" checkbox in TrackIR. Tried with two different modules and it works as before now.

I use OpenTrack, and it always seemed to take precedence over DCS, but I do not use keystrokes, only DX buttons. Except when I use VoiceAttack. Then I need to use keystrokes, and "force" VoiceAttac to send it to OpenTrack, then shift the focus back to DCS via a random mouse click forced to click in DCS.
