Track IR 4.0 pro

[Funkyjazz]

Hello,

 

Im using a track IR 4.0 pro with the software 4.1037.

 

What i did:

 

Clean install Lock On version 1.01 (european)

Patch 1.02

Deleted trackir files in config and input.

 

Still i can only pan left and right. If i click on the properties of the Lock on profile i can see that it only supports those two axes. The other axes are greyed out.

Can somebody confirm because ive reed that people are able to zoom in and out...

I have TIR 4 Pro as well. Here is my profile, settings.xml and TrackIR.ini for you for testing. Hope it helps.

I recommend getting the TIR5 software. I don't think it's the answer to you problem but it is an improvement. For example, it doesn't loose track when you look down at the keyboard or other funny angle.

[golfsierra2]

You are using TIR 5 software for a TIR 4 ?

[Griffin]

Yeah, and it works better! No track loosing anymore. Some other forum member was recommending it and now I am too.

[VMFA117_Poko]

Yeah me too. It works perfectly.

[S77th-konkussion]

Yep. TiR5 software (I don't have the actual version # in front of me) is an all around update for supported models.

Thanks Golfsierra2! Later on this evening i have operation "Dinner Out" with my sister. After that i will test your files. Hopefully they work.

 

By the way: Ive also tried the 5.0 Final B software = same result as the 4.1037.

 

1 more thing:

 

Currently im playing with my Logitech extreme 3D Pro. This stick is towards its end. For a good replacement im thinking of the Saitek X52. Somebody has good experience with the X52?

 

UPDATE:

 

Ive just tested the files and the problem stays...I cant figure out the problem. So my next step will be to do a fresh install of windows XP. Hopefully that will help. You'll hear it tomorrow)

Funkyjazz,

 

I don't think you should be deleting TrackIR from your config folder. Only the TrackIR.ini from the input folder. That maybe you problem.

 

BTW - I use 5.0 software with my TIR 4.0 Pro no problem as well.

[Funkyjazz]

Still no go...

 

Ive got a fresh install of win xp and lomac but still no go. Ok here we go:

 

- XP windows SP3 with all updates till this morning

- Netframework 3.5 with updates

- Direct X Aug 2009

- Track IR 4.0 Pro with 5.0 B software (updated the game lib.)

- Lomac install 1.01. After restart system, update 1.02 (fresh dl from gamershell)

 

MB: Asus P5B

CPU: E6600 running on 3,24 on air = stable!

MEM: 2x2GB Corsair XMS2

GPU: XFX 9800 GTX+ 512 MB

PSU: CM 750 silent

SB: Creative XFI Gamer

Track IR: Track Ir 4 Pro (with Track Clip pro).

 

Still i only have the yaw and the pitch controls in lomac. It simply doenst use other axes. Even if i delete the ini from the input folder it only recognizes the yaw and the pitch.

 

To be certain i installed FS9. With FS9 i can use all axes so its not defect hardware.

 

does somebody has a clue? Im running out of options here...

Could you take a screenshot of TrackIR window just in case?

Here it is:

For each game you have to choose it's own profile on the "Titles" page.

 

Choose golfsierras profile for Lock On from the dropdown menu. For me it looks like this:

 

If this isn't enough, go back to "Profiles" page and check all of the axis boxes just in case. Maybe there is something messed up with the different axes. Remember to press Save button before you close TIR.

I've did it exactly as you told me, but still...it only detects two axis.

The strange thing is the properties of the lomac profile in the software 4.1037. As the software says it only recognizes the axis yaw and pitch and those are the axis that work. So it the problem that ive updated the game lib. in the software?

[Griffin]

Ok the situation is that there is no solution. I did a bit of googling and came across this thread on NaturalPoint forum:

 

http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=25727

 

So it just doesn't work in original Lock On. I didn't take into account that you don't have Flaming Cliffs. I highly recommend getting it. It's pretty cheap and makes a big difference in gameplay and you will get your zoom axis too. :) Or you might want to wait until the FC2.0 boxed version comes out and get both Flaming Cliffs versions in the same package. That's what I'm waiting for.

I give up...

 

I just dont understand...im working with pc's for 15 years. I game my whole life. I do understand how software works ect. But this...nah...

 

Ive tried everything: software 4.1037 and 5.0 B. I both reinstalled them, with the scanning of old inf files.

Ive tried profiles, new profiles, different axes setups nothing works. As far i can conclude its lomac not able to recognize more axes tha the pitch and yaw...

Ive also reinstalled lomac with the default installation: 1.01. Doesnt matter. Ive installed lomac on my C (windows XP) partition, doesnt matter...

 

So yeah...im out of gas. If anybody has a briljant idea please let me know, cause this BUGS me. I just cant stand it that im not able to solve this!

There is another thing im going to try, you'll hear that later on.

Noooooo....youre kidding me:cry:. Well...than thats it! Thanks for the advice. I allready found a gold copy on boll.com (dutch webstore). Im going to order it!!

 

Thanks!!!!

[S77th-konkussion]

Heh.. I never even noticed that.. [no FC] This is just one of a 100 reasons to get FC and never look back.

[Total]

For TIR4 software.....

 

Copy the Basic Flight profile.

 

Now edit the copy.

 

Make sure you have the Track Clip selected and the appropriate axis's selected.

 

Select Tracking and then Settings. Push the light filtering down to about 80-90.

 

I can use TIR5 or TIR4 softwar for DCS. I generally use TIR4 for DCS. I never have any skips or jumps. This is mainly due to the fact I haven't set up TIR5 to be smooth in DCS. Works fine in WoP and ArmA2 tho lol.

 

Also, in LockOn, if you have "Zoom" bound to an axis, it will cancel out the TIR zoom axis.

You dont have something luminescent behind you? I find if I start Track IR with the curtains open (window is behind me) I get interference from the reflections outside.

[golfsierra2]

 

Clean install Lock On version 1.01 (european)

Patch 1.02

Deleted trackir files in config and input.

 

 

That is his problem. I never noticed that TIR will not work properly with LO 1.01/1.02, never tried it.

TiR DOES work in 1.02 for sure. I don't remember what version was about when I got my 2Pro- but it was certainly way before FC. Probably 1.01.

 

Now- Maybe Track 5 won't work... don't know why, but..

[Brit_Radar_Dude]

Pretty sure I recall reading on Forums years ago that vanilla Lockon only supported the 2 axes.

[Funkyjazz]

Jippiekayee

 

Ive bought FC and yes...my trackir is now also working with zoom function:thumbup:. Allthough its a pitty they didnt include full track ir support: head low/high and left/right (so you can look down over the cockpit side).

But yeah, this is making the game a lot easier and much more fun.

 

Thanks for all support!

[VMFA117_Poko]

Wait a little more for FC2.0. There will be limited in range 6DOF cockpits.
