TrackIR not Zooming past 3 and 9 o'clock.

[dok_rp]

Hello guys,

 

I've read a lot of threads trying to find a solution for this problem which has been making my flying miserable since Flaming Cliffs 1.0.

 

I have all the TrackIR axis mapped correctly in the game, but I still can't zoom past my 3 and 9 o'clock. The only way to do that is by zooming in my 12 o'clock and then moving my head left or right. The only way to "un-zoom" is by going back to the 12 o'clock position and then moving my head back again.

 

This is far beyond irritating and since I've come back to flying FC2.0 regularly it has become too hard when ground pounding which is what I like to do most of the time.

 

So is there a work-around for this, so I am able to zoom past my 3 and 9 o'clock without having to first zoom in at the 12 o'clock and then look left and right?

 

I've tried using the scroll wheel on my X52PRO, but prefer usingf the TrackIR functionality for I'm more used to it.

 

Thanks for any help. :thumbup:

Are you running the 1.2.1 patch? It's not perfect but they did greatly enhance zooming with your head turned in that patch.

You could try enabling/disabling Trueview in the TIR software?

Nate, if you were a gal I'd take to dance... as you're proly not... I'll just buy you a beer. :drink: :beer:

Thanks a whole gazillion. I had no idea this little option could cause such a ruckus. The strange thing though is that in the TrackIR profile the head movement is wrong when zooming past the 3 and 9 o'clock position, but inside FC it works the way it's supposed to.

 

Never mind, right? It's working and I've screamed in excitement. :lol:

i have a similar problem with the zoom position with trackIr.. the view inside the cockpiu it is too much near HUD than in lock on 1.21 ... somebody can advice me how to setting this ?

 

thanks..

What I do - and it can sound simplistic, but it's quite effective - is to move my head a little closer to the monitor than normal and recenter TrackIR. This way my view will be zoomed out. I use this in the Su25T. And I do it the other way around if the view is too zoomed out.

 

You can also edit the aicraft lua files and reset the default zoom levels, but I've never done that.

change the last one to match mine. So far this has caused no crashes, BUT my mouse now seems to miss buttons, ie the buttons are 2 or 3 inches away from the mouse detect zone. Very odd.

 

Just backup your old one first - my problem could be another mod.
