Head Tracking Grayed Out in Axxis Commands

[DragonSoulkin]

So I've got a friend who's using Tobii Eye Tracker and with this new update, he's got head tracking available for everything else in DCS, to include the Phantom, but not the F-14s. In his keybinds in other aircraft he has the columns for head tracking filled and functions just fine, but in any of the F14 models, his keybinds for axis commands under the head tracking column are grayed out. Any ideas as to what's going on here and why it's just the F14 that this is happening to and not other airframes?

First report I've seen of this, so I will assume it's a local issue. Have him try to right click the headtracking column and reset it to default.

Cheers!

Tried that, also had him re-install his tobii software. The problem is it's grayed out like you can't keybind anything in the axis commands for head tracking at all, so resetting to default won't do anything because there's nothing available to fill in, and the weirdest part is all of his other modules are not affected. His tracking works just fine in the F-4, F-16, F-5, just not the F-14s. 

The only thing I can think of at this point is to have him uninstall the F-14 and re-install it, and if that doesn't work have him do a cleanup and repair.

Won't do you any good. It's probably a corruption in the Saved Games folders.

Always perform a repair first. It's exactly the same as a reinstallation, only quicker. 

Have him rename, (as a backup), the Saved Games folder first, as a repair/reinstallation won't touch that.

I'm having the same issue using Trackhat. It's only in the front seat though, no issue in the backseat or other modules. I've tried running a full (slow) repair with no luck, also reinstalling the F-14 module and deleting all costum binds didn't solve the issue. I also know at least two others that had this problem, they were able to solve the problem with a full repair.

Well, from the last update log "Inputs: Fixed some functions not being bindable to mouse" so there's high chance they got something the wrong way but first try to reset your controls by renaming the DCS profile in saved games as Max suggests and of course do a full DCS repair and clean.

Like I wrote above, I repair is quicker than a reinstallation, and basically does the same thing as it resets everything to vanilla, except files in Saved Games. Exit DCS, perform a full repair. Rename Saved Games for backup purposes, and perform a full repair. OR you can rename all F-14 related folders in the input folder. I assume the error is there.

Tried that as well, again no luck.
