Can't zoom inside cokcpit with TrackIR ON

[Kenan]

I have this problem only in FC2. When I have my TrackIR ON, the zoom inside cockpit doesn't work. It actually starts zooming in for a split second but the view gets reset..as if TrackIR is being the problem. This happens even with TrackIR Z axis disabled. I don't have this issue in DCS soo..anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks.

When you say 'Z axis disabled' do you mean in the sim? What about the True View setting in TIR?

 

I have only run FC2 a few times a while ago but I seem to recall using the same TIR profile as I do for A-10 without problems.

^^Actually, I have Z axis for trackir disabled. I still can't (while using trackir ingame) zoom in with num / and num *. It seems to start zooming but it just stops as if being blocked by trackir. When trackir is disabled, the zoom in with above mentioned keys works fine.

Conflicts in the axis settings? Though that makes no sense if TIRs Z axis is not being transmitted at all.

 

Key spamming from your controller somewhere?

 

What happens if you turn on the Z axis in TIR?

 

I guess it is possible that one or more of your config files is borked so deleting the config files might fix it. Hopefully you don't have to much custom mapping.

 

Mostly thinking out loud here...:huh:

Check this screenshot

 

 

you need to disable the TIR zoom view axis for each aircraft - remember to activate your TIR before going into the options screen.

^^I have nothing inside the TrackIR column (F-15C controls). I had this problem even with X52 (now I moved on to Hotas Wartthog) so I don't think it's stick/profile related.

 

When ingame, minimizing to windows and disabling trackir, the zoom in and out with numpad keys works fine (inside the cockpit). The moment I enable trackir again, the zoom gets "blocked" (with or without trackir Z axis enabled/disabled).

I was looking at the wrong set of command (Not Axis Commands). You were right, I had TrackIR Z axis assigned and once I deleted it, the problem is gone.

 

Thanks Mustang! :)

Yeah and it's kinda hidden off to the side there, you have to drag the slider to the right to see the TIR axis commands which is a bit irritating :)

 

Anyway, glad you finally solved the problem.

Good deal. I was beginning to wonder.
