JohnHardtack's Custom TrackIR 5 BoS Profile


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am guilty of being the proud owner of TrackIR 3, TrackIR 4 and TrackIR 5, but I have never taken the time to really learn how to properly configure a profile.
 
UNTIL NOW!
 
Building on Gary Abbott's excellent YouTube tutorial on TrackIR 5 profiling technique,
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TASEXUd4Oto
 
I spent a "ton o' time" tweaking a profile that seems to work both smoothly and give the viewing scope and range to match the most stringent requirements of BoS.
 
Here it is: "JohnHardtack v 2.0.xml"

 

Hopefully, this will benefit some of you out there by "putting your head on a swivel."

 

Cheers.

JohnHardtack v. 2.0.xml

How are your "speed" and "smooth" configs?

THANK YOU!!!!

 

It came in jut the right time. Just yesterday I was fighting with my TIR, and eventualy ended up using again the side ( led ) unit instead of the top-of-the-hat silly one because my TIR 5 became jumpy lateky ...

 

I alternate between to profiles created long ago by Requiem, 6DOF and 2014, but I will gladly try this one!

 I put this in my profiles folder and it does not show up as option?

For me neither.  A bit of Googling reveals that to add a profile TrackIr has to be run as administrator.  Ludicrous.

You are looking in the right folder?

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5\Profiles

That's interesting.  I don't have an AppData folder there.  My TrackIR install lives in C > Programme Files (x86) > Natural Point > TrackIR5

What version are you running?

I believe with V5.* NP made the default for the profiles different from before.

 

I have my profiles as listed above and they work.

On the place where you state they are, I have only the default profile, which I am not using.

I'm pretty sure the place where to put your profiles is somewhere else.

Try to make a test profile, give it a name like test or so and see where the program saves this file (let windows search for it).

 

Hope this helps.

 

EDIT:

The Appdata folder is hidden by windows. If you can get windows to show you the hidden folders you will find your profiles.

Appdata folder could be hidden, just select "Show hidden files" or something in Window options.
