zaelu Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 After 1.2.6 Freetrack headtracking ceased to work on all planes. Absolutely all modules. Anyone else? (I think I'm not the only one from a PM from another member that asked me to tell him if I find a solution). My squad mates that use FT haven't updated yet so... I can't know from them.

104th_Cobra Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 ^ I'm also experiencing Freetrack not working with 1.2.6. I have the HeadTracker.dll at .\bin\headtracker\ 104th Cobra [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zaelu Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 yes I also have that and the log is from 3 September... today I didn't play until after update. I deleted the log to see if another one from today appear and... nothing at all.

seikdel Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Same issue. Edit: Rolling back the entire 1GB install. Why did I let it update the one time I'm having a friend over to show them DCS? Seriously, **** things like this. I can't even begin to express how incredibly frustrating this is. It's doubly frustrating that it has to download over a gig of stuff to fix it, all while the servers are dealing with everyone upgrading to 1.2.6. Is there a simple way to back up your current version before updating? Maybe just clone the directory? Edited September 4, 2013 by seikdel

How someone can break things already working when they try to solve the bugs..2 gigs of download and broken headtracker..I stop now cos' i really don't want to break someone's heart...
104th_Cobra Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Patience, my friends :) From 1.2.6 and because the growing number of new features and mods, all releases will be open beta. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=110903 104th Cobra [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
seikdel Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Okay, a moment now that my heart rate is down. It appears that copying from my old backup is working. I'll know for sure in a few minutes. Xpto: Yes, I realize it's a public beta. My angst is more due to the fact that I've got a buddy who likes planes but hasn't tried flight sims come over in a half hour to check out DCS, and I foolishly assumed that the update wouldn't pork basic functionality. Lesson learned, and I'll be more careful next time. That being said, I can't fly very effectively without head tracking, so I can't wait for it to get fixed.

MauganRa84 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 BRUTAL! Spent all morning updating and purchasing and downloading...... then BOOM!, jump in the Mi-8.... no headtracking... wtf? Try the other modules but no love there either. That kinda blows. ...Sheila rides on crashing nightingale. Intake eyes leave passing vapor trails... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
theropod Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 same big problem here. facetracknoir is not working after 1.2.6. :( i hope they fix this very big problem very soon.

zaelu Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Yup, I tried to fly Mi-8 for a bit but is like being glued to the screen. I forgot how it was in the old days. This things happens because in the close beta were no Freetrack FacetrackNoir Opentrack users. Just like with FFB issues with G940 or MS Sidewinder. I hope now in open beta we could help more. Overnight I redownloaded the whole game and I will try a comparison between 2 installs on 2 PCs to see if there is an anomaly in patching sequence. Also. I observed that Server.lua file from User/Save Game Files/DCS/Config/View is completely disregarded. I'm not sure if there is a link between 2 phenomena. I did try removing the view folder from user files all together to see if tracking resumes but no effect. They appear 2 separate bugs.

PatBoud Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 I confirm FreeTrack no longer works with DCS. Please fix soon. I mean really soon. This makes my purchases useless. PatBoud

Harrysound Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 If you guys are serious about this game you should really buy Trackir 5 , I did and it's worth it. Freetrack is nothing but a pain and kill performance in the game anyway. Have you guys checked the relevant .lua files? Updates would always destroy the .lua files, especially in the Aircraft/mods directory where I had my headtrack set from Zoom on leaning. 1

Night Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Here is the file. I placed it in \...\DCS World\bin\ It should work for both freetrack and facetracknoir 64 Bit http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/files/Special%20support/ED/64bit_games/ 32 Bit http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/files/Special%20support/ED/32bit_games/ I faintly remember that I might have done a bit more than just place the headtracker.dll file in the bin folder, I did this all a long time ago and it continued to work after the 1.2.6 update, if you guys still have problems getting it to work I will find out if there was something else I had to do to get it to work.

Have you guys checked the relevant .lua files? Updates would always destroy the .lua files, especially in the Aircraft/mods directory where I had my headtrack set from Zoom on leaning. First of all, I have a track ir 5 and pro clip but I built my own FreeTrack headset because I find the software much better and I can make my FreeTrack headset with a big battery so I don't have wires going everywhere. And I can use better + more precise webcam with a higher resolution, better LED's, etc. So please don't act as if Track IR is inherently better.

doveman Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 It's a good idea to use JSGME with any mods, including the headtracker.dll, so that if they get deleted by an update you can just put them back. You don't need to check if it has been removed by an update, just disable all mods first with a single click, then re-enable them after updating with another single click.

PatBoud Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 No luck Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write this lenghty reply. Unfortunately, I have been running with this same DLL for a while and it stopped working with 1.2.6. I tried to reinstall the DLL and made sure it was properly referenced in a .lua file as per instructions. No luck :( Tried to Repair DCS, no luck. I may try to download a fresh copy of DCS 1.2.6 and reinstall all modules. I'll report back. I sincerly hope a quick fix will be posted here though. Thanks!
Korn Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Night, you're sure you updated to 1.2.6? Tried the alternative headtracker.dll and makes no difference. Apparently the game just doesn't activate the headtracker... moving view with keyboard is now possible, so not only it doesn't receive the data from the headtracker, it doesn't activate it at all.
zaelu Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) I FOUND iT!!!!!!!!!! Go to "bin" folder and move/copy the headtracker.dll file from the "Headtracker" folder directly in Bin folder. I need to check again but now it works... the other thing I did was to shorten the angle limits in view.lua from Mi-8 folder but this should not matter. Brb Edit Mig29 also works so modifyeing Mi-8 view.lua had no effect in this. Just move (copy if you wish but I'm sure they just changed the path game searches for headtracker) the headtracker.dll as I said above. Now I need to find why my modified Server.lua is not taken into account and I'm left with that huge angle limit on camera.

Korn Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah that's it, awesome. Thought of that when Night said to put the thingie in the bin folder but the archive had the file inside the headtracker folder so i dismissed that. Dau o bere :B Weird though, just checked input.lua and the path is still bin/headtracker/headtracker.dll
