TrackIR conflict w/clickable cockpit - ne1 notice?

[Woots]

I haven't seen this posted and have only been BSing (lol) for a couple of weeks so pardon if this is a known condition.

 

There are three mouse control options-

option 1- a "+", clickable cockpit, no head movement, no zoom

option 2- a "+", clickable cockpit, head movement, zoom in/out w/ mouse wheel

option 3- no "+", no clickable cockpit, no head movement, zoom in/out w/mouse wheel

 

I'm going from memory but I think those are the 3 options.

 

I started seeing the graphics "glitch", and "jitter" as I threw switches during start up. At first I thought the trackIR was acting up, but did some experimenting and conclude that option 2 above is causing it. As I drag the mouse from switch to switch it's also trying to move my head but the trackir is overriding the movement, kinda like a forcefight where the trackir wins. This gives the jittering effect. I think I'm just now noticing it because I used to use option 1, but got used to zooming in on the switches and started using option 2. What's more, it seems to lessen with time (i.e replaying a mission and the "jittering" calms down, but the forcefight is still there).

 

Anyway, the graphics are rock steady using option 1. Just wanted to know if anyone has picked up on this. Hope this made sense.

Yes, known issue and a natural side effect of having two inputs for the same thing. :)

[Woots]

Thanks. It's good to not suffer alone.

[EtherealN]

I don't suffer, I just let the mouse stay in the first mode. :P

I mapped Alt+C to my HOTAS so I can switch between modes whenever I feel like it in a heartbeat (whenever I want to zoom essentially)..

Otherwise you just have to keep your mouse entirely still when you're not clicking switches =)

I remapped it from ALT+C to the space bar with the same goal in mind.

i just assigned a hotas switch to zoom in/out rather than changing options

[Woots]

If they just added zoom in/out to option 1 all would be good.

if you have dual dore Try this, it fixed my jittering with the TrackIR,

 

when you start BS: alt tab out and set your BS to 1 core affinity and set your trackIR to another core affinity
