View stuck aft in BOS

[BSS_Shadow]

Hi,

 

For some strange reason, the in-cockpit view in BOS has turned around. When I start the sim, I'm looking at the tail once in the aircraft. I've checked everything related to my TrackIR and tried every camera and pilot head setting there is. Still, I'm looking at the tail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Adjust camera, press F10.

Adjust camera, press F10.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that simple. It isn't responding to ANY view-related key presses. I have one more idea that I plan to try. If that doesn't work, I will uninstall/reinstall the sim.

 

Thanks!

You have to pause trackIR, use the keys to adjust the camera then press F10 to save the position, then you can re-enable TrackIR.

You will have to set that in the TIR software.

In there you can set a button or switch so that the camera goes to "straight ahead".

Where it says "pause", go to "center" and set it up. Don't forget to save.

Thanks but this doesn't appear to be a TIR problem. My view is stuck aft even with the TIR software turned off (intentionally never started in order to see if TIR was the problem). I've been using my own profile for years, one that I use in every simulation. All buttons are set up and work the same in all sims.

 

Incidentally, I just rolled back from the Win10 trial to Win7. This started AFTER the rollback. Win10 presented too many problems with my hardware, namely MFD monitors not working.

Shadow, maybe try the technical forums. It doesn't seem like anyone either wants to help or have no idea how to.

did you just recently update track ir to 5.3? if so check for double install..

 

the new installer make a new directory and does not look for the old install.

 

you also may have double profile folders, check in the old install if you have that delete it.

 

I have had several members tell me after they installed the new track ir or even if you get a double install you will get this looking back at the seat.

 

this is because both profiles are still seen by the new track ir 5.3 dont ask me how, its a computer it does strange thing sometimes.

 

the new install now makes a user/profile/ folder 

 

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

 

if you don't see your appdata, you need to allow read or uncheck hidden in that section.

Isn't your default view that been messed up ? If not I don't see nothing else then your TIR is broken.

You can settle the question of is it TrackIR vs not by firing up the sim once without running TrackIR. If your view is still hosed, while you are running without TrackIR (or with it paused) adjust your view with the head position keys (page-up/down, home, end, insert, overwrite by default I think) and save it as the default (default key is F-10 though good idea to change it to something less likely to be hit accidentally). You can also delete the saved-views files to get back to the defaults, though I don't recall off the top of my head where these are found.

Thanks guys,

 

i finally discovered that a snap views file was not being updated. I deleted that file and allowed the sim to rebuild it. That fixed the problem. Thanks for your input!
