TrackIR help needed

[DEWorley]

i've just installed Flaming Cliffs 2 over a new Lock-On install & my Track

IR doesn't work in FC2. It works fine in Rise of Flight, ArmA2 & every other game i've tried.

i looked for the 2 TrackIR files which needed to be deleted in FC1 to get TrackIR to work but can't find them in FC2.

Any ideas?

Track IR must run with the same permission as the game, if you run Vista/Seven

 

If track IR is executed as administrator, then execute FC2 as administrator.

 

I had the problem. My track IR soft run as administrator because Rise of Flight need that setup.

 

Once i ran FC2 as administrator, it works fine. Execpt for the Z axis, but other people have the problem.

TrackIR REFUSES TO WORK in FC2.0

 

My TracIR 4 is stubbornly refusing to operate in Flaming Cliffs 2.0. The software is definately working properly for the TrackIR so I can only think there is some setting I am missing in the FC2.0 software. If you have solved this problem I would love to know about how.

I read that both programms must be operating from administrator but on my PC running winXP home, there is only one user account ie the green dude and that user account has admin privilages.

I'm having this problem with a TrackIR 5, too. Is there any news on a workaround? I can't seem to find any other reference to this problem.

On the Z-Axis it is assigned to The TrackIR Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View in the Axis Commands section of the Controls Tab. Clear this assignment and Add the TrackIR Z-Axis assignment to the Zoom View.

Thank you! That fixed it for me! :)

How do you do this? the default zoom controls, (/ and *), on the numpad, dont have a trackIR slot next to them to assign an axis to.

 

Assigning an axis in the "axis" section doesnt Do the trick compared to presing the keys. Weird

[Mugenjin]

It's under "Axis Commands".

 

Coloumn "TrackIR", line "TrackIR Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View" respectively "Zoom View".

Just choose for "Zoom View" "TrackIR_Z".

 

Oh and did you activate the Z axis in the TrackIR Software? Remember that FC 2.0 loads the Black Shark profile as of now.

[coolts]

Yeah. I've done all that. Changing from, "TrackIR Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View" to "Zoom View" made no difference.

 

If it works on yours in that exact way, then it must be something daft i am doing. I will have a look tonight.

 

( I dont use the BS profile, I have set up my own. All axis working fine)

What i meant was that TIR currently detects FC 2.0 as Black Shark and loads the profile you've assigned for BS.

Try this. Select the axis you want to fix. Click at the "Axis Tune" button at the right bottom. Move the Curvature slider to the left. The more to the left the more aggresive and responsive that axis will be.

Be careful also that you are assigning the axis to the right aircraft, since different control profiles are used now.

 

By the way, I think I remember that in Blackshark it was possible to have both Longitudinal AND Zoom at the same time assigned to the axis ? Isn't it possible anymore ?

axis is fine in the "axis tune" screen. I even made the trackIR Z axis profile more agressive. It goes from max to min in the "axis tune" screen with only a small movement of my head, but in the game it moves about an 2cm both ways.

 

I have tried assigning the trackIR z axis to zoom and longtitudinal....thing.
