Damien Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) In instant action, free flight TrackIR is not working. I cannot look around in KA-50 sim mode. I've verified that it works fine in multiplayer and verified that I have assignments for the TrackIR in the controls. Can anyone else verify this as well? Problem has been fixed! See post #35 for the fix. -Damien Edited July 24, 2013 by Damien
joey45 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Is it just that mission? 1 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Damien Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 Not exactly sure but I've created a track file if that will help.. I'll go try some of the other missions and see if they have the same issue. -Damiennotrackir.trk
Damien Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 Attack Insurgents instant action mission, same problem.. no track IR.. I've verified TrackIR works in software and is recognizing track clip. Attached is the track for the insurgent mission. -Damiennotrackir2.trk
HiJack Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Open TrackIR and select the large circle button up to the left. Select "Check for Game updates". This should fix this issue.
jjohnson241 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Damien, Just tried both Free Flight and Attack Insurgents missions and my TIR 5 is working in both. Do you have a key mapped to temporarily disable TIR tracking and if so have you checked that? Don't know what to tell you otherwise. JJohnson241 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67

I had 2 green lights on the TIR. -Damien
HiJack Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Try to remove the KA-50 and save the mission with a new name. Then add a new Ka-50 using the toolbar on tle left side (do not copy an old aircraft). Or make a brand new mission with KA-50 and check if the TrackIR works.

Damien Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) I've verified that the TrackIR works in the other modules instant action missions. The only BS2 Instant Action mission that works is the Arcade mission. Also verified that the Axis tuning sees the TrackIR in the KA-50 Sim controls section. Just noticed that the KA-50-2 upgrade page has been removed. Looks like I cannot redownload the specific module to uninstall and reinstall. -Damien Edited July 23, 2013 by Damien
Damien Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 Confirmed All Instant Action missions for KA-50 2 except the arcade mission do not work. Furthermore, all other missions/campaign work just fine. -Damien
jjohnson241 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I checked the Download section of the main website and the upgrade version for BS2 is still there. You can try a re-install and see if that clears it up. Or, try to run a "repair" out of the start menu. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67
Damien Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Since my last reply I've deleted the assignments in controls for all my BS2 TrackIR assignments and reassigned them as defaults. Redownloaded the BS2 module. Uninstalled the module in the module manager. Shut down DCSW, ran a registry cleaner and crap cleaner. Restarted the computer. Reinstalled the module. Ran DCSW again and used the Arcade mode to verify I have movement. Ran the BS2 free flight mission and no head tracking movement. I F2'd out to another view and came back to F1. View changed to almost straight ahead but still no head movement. Also ran the repair utility with no success. -Damien

Damien Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Don't work at all or don't work with TrackIR? I ran the cold start, take off and shooting range instant missions today without any problems. I apologize, I should have been clearer. Mission loads just fine. Aircraft flies and makes relevant movements based on my controller inputs. TrackIR head tracking inputs in BS2 IA missions (except arcade IA mission) are not working. Aircraft will turn, collective will raise and drop. All other control inputs work just fine. I've verified that other modules IA missions work just fine as well as verifying head tracking in BS2 controls>axis tuning. In IA mission, even by hitting the center (reset) button on the TIR, it does nothing to the in game view in only the BS2 IA missions. -Damien
IonicRipper Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Do you have a green light on the TrackIR when in-game? i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Damien Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Do you have a green light on the TrackIR when in-game? Yes, In missions that head tracking worked and missions that head tracking did not work, TrackIR showed 2 green lights. -Damien
Damien Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Don't mind the shaky video.. I recorded it quick on my phone to show what I'm having a problem with.. The TrackIR is right beside the Vizio logo on the TV. You can see that the green lights are on. At the end I bring the hat with track clip attached forward into camera view to show that it's not moving the on screen view. The Instant Action mission I chose was the Insurgent Attack mission. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7dstXmMFRU -Damien
HiJack Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Can you try to press the "NUM5" key to center the view? Does that work? Have you changed the default assignment keys for TrackIR Center, Pause and Fine? Are you running the TrackIR profile as "Exclusive" ? 1
Damien Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Number 5 centers the view in game but still no trackIR. Key assignments are changed but working and verified in the TrackIR software. The profile I'm running is set to exclusive. -Damien
jjohnson241 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 When you refer to "Arcade" mode, what specifically are you selecting in the Options menu? What are you selecting (if anything) in the Options menu when you run one of the problem missions? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67
IonicRipper Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I don't know for TrackIR 5 (I have 4) but on mine, when in-game there is 1 green light and one blue light. Did you try relocating the device on top of your screen? Do you see all the lights or reflectors of your clip in the camera view of the software? Are they relatively in the center of the camera? 1 i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
jjohnson241 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Ionic, He mentions that the TIR software can see the trackclip movement and his camera lights are both green. On TIR 5, green lights indacate everything is OK. For some reason, in Sim mode the camera does not see the trackclip. In Game mode, TIR is operating as it should. I can't think of any reasoin this should be happening but I suspect he has a configuration problem when switching between Game and Sim modes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67

What are you selecting (if anything) in the Options menu when you run one of the problem missions? I'm not selecting anything other than loading up the game and loading the Instant Action mission. There is an instant action (IA) mission named KA-50 Arcade. It starts outside of the aircraft but if I hit F1, I'm put into the cockpit. The head tracking in this specific IA mission works just fine. -Damien

Did you try relocating the device on top of your screen? Do you see all the lights or reflectors of your clip in the camera view of the software? Are they relatively in the center of the camera? The positioning of the TIR5 is fine. If the pause mode was enabled, I would have 2 red leds on the sides. If the TIR5 wasn't seeing all of the reflectors, one of the two green LED's would turn off. The dots are centered in the camera. I'm going to see if I can set up windowed mode so I can show trackIR software tracking while BS2 IA mission not tracking. -Damien
