bdlarkin Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Anybody having TrackIR problems with the beta? Tracking wise everything seems to work, but I can't get the "center" function on TrackIR to work if I'm in the cockpit. When i first materialize in the cockpit, my view is always offcenter and I have to hold my head in funny ways to get it "centered" in the cockpit. With BS and other games I can press the F12 key to get the TrackIR to treat my head position as the new "center", but with the beta that no longer works. I've remapped it to other key presses, but nothing seems to work. Also, I find that over time, the sensor seems to have me moving "forward" in the seat. I've searched other threads and don't see anybody else with this problem, so i figure it's something with "me". Should I be adjusting the TrackIR axis in game? Help!
slimakwielki Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Haven't noticed such problems, using F12 to center as well. The only diff when migrating same profile (one2one custom adjusted) from DCS BS is Z-axis (in cockpit length) is a bit too responsive, but its just tweak issue...
104th_Crunch Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 In theory A-10C should have no effect on TIR. Once the profile loads in the TIR software, the TIR software does the work. Try running A10 in windowed mode so you can alt tab (fullscreen has alt tab bug) then al tab to TIR software to see what profile is loaded and test your settings there.

In window mode, I can recenter if I alt-tab out to the Track IR software, but F12 doesn't do anything in-game. Very annoying.
kaiserb_uk Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Sounds like F12 is assigned to an in-game function? I use F13 to centre and it works fine. Edited October 6, 2010 by kaiserb_uk
blaster454 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Sounds like F12 is assigned to an in-game function? I use F13 to centre and it works fine. How does one use virtual keys in the sim? That would be very useful.

bdlarkin Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah F12 is view static object or something. I've tried other keys though too. No dice.
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Use scroll Lock for the TIR centre, F12 is needed in sim for Radio commands.. Remember that A-10 may be using a different Track IR profile in the profile software and as such may have a different key assigned than you are used to. Check which profile its using and then re-assign a key. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
bdlarkin Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 I dont' have a Scroll Lock key ;) I tried using the "a" key since that doesn't seem to be mapped to anything. Still doesn't work in game. Works if i have TrackIR open, but not if I have the game open. The only way to have trackir open is if i run in windows mode What I don't understand is why I'm the only one that seems to have this problem?
DEWorley Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 i'm running the 32 bit beta in Win7 64 & can't get the game to recongnize my TrackIR, do you guys do something special to enable it? the enhanced game blue light doesn't light either.

kaiserb_uk Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 You have F13? Well no, but TiR supports [some of] the higher F keys (F13 - F24) and I can reproduce them with my Cougar (using USB codes - USB 68 is F13). If you have G15 or similar keyboard you can then assign those keys to the G-keys. Nate made a good point about checking which profile is assigned - Combat Flight is probably the default.

GunSlingerAUS Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Yep, I'm having the same issue. However, if I map TrackIR's center and pause functions directly to my G940 buttons, it works fine - the issue is only when TrackIR is mapped to keyboard.

NaturalPoint_Vince Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Have you tried running both the TrackIR software, and the gaming application as an admin (right click on the exe file for each, and select run as admin)?

sobek Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 I use middle mouse button to center. Worked for every sim so far. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

bdlarkin Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Have you tried running both the TrackIR software, and the gaming application as an admin (right click on the exe file for each, and select run as admin)? That was it! Makes sense now, since when you run TrackIR as administrator all the game specific changes you may have made are gone. Obviously the profile changes are tracked on a per-user basis. And I don't run TrackIR usually as administrator. Thanks!
