jerryb 3 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi, Requiem, thanks for getting back to me. I've tried restarting TIR several times but no go. I opened the file in notepad and it looks fine. Link to post Share on other sites
OCA_LoneStar 21 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Might be you're putting the file in the wrong folder location. Profile should be copied to Windows OS install drive. Normally the C Drive at Users > Your User Name Folder > AppData > Roaming > NaturalPoint > TrackIR 5> Profiles Link to post Share on other sites
jerryb 3 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi Lonestar, it is in the profiles folder and all the other profiles in the same folder show up in the prog but not Requiem's. I'm puzzled, which happens a lot. Link to post Share on other sites

If its still a .zip file then the file will be there but you wont be able to use it in TIR Link to post Share on other sites
jerryb 3 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Nope, it is unzipped. I'll retry it tomorrow and report back. Link to post Share on other sites
Requiem 1735 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 New video covering Instrument flight. Between all my RL flying and the difficulty of sequencing the technique showing eye movement in the video this one took a while. Instrument flying is something you can take for granted in a combat sim like this until you legitimately have them as your sole reference. Cheers! 3 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
jerryb 3 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi again, still no joy, deleted the file from profiles, unzipped it again and put it in profiles and it is there but not showing up in the prog, should be between one 2 one and smooth. I've included a shot of the file opened in notepad. Link to post Share on other sites
OCA_LoneStar 21 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 NaturalPoint TrackIR creates two "Profile" folder locations when it installs. The one you show in your post is not the one TrackIR uses. The folder TrackIR will use is located in your Local Disk (C:)> Users > "Your User Name" > AppData > Roaming > NaturalPoint > TrackIR 5 > Profiles. If you cannot see the folders/files, they may be hidden. Select the "View" tab at the top of Windows File Explorer. On the upper right side of File Explorer select "Hidden items." I believe this was a change that NaturalPoint made with version 5. Link to post Share on other sites
jerryb 3 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Nope, not there. Link to post Share on other sites
69th_Panp 99 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Theirs your problem TIR did not create that folder during install or it was removed somehow. Back up your TIR profile folder and uninstall and reinstall TIR, then copy over the saved profile back into the TIR folder. then copy Requiem profil;e into the user data roaming TIR folder. fire up TIR and look for the profile. Should be there. Or you can try to copy thy TIR profile folder out of TIR folder and copy direct into the user/data / roaming /tir folder 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My local guys would have a word about your “curvy” base to final turn 😂 I've come to prefer flying the curved base-final turn in these airplanes in the sim, but in RL unless I'm practicing a power off 180° landing I'd stick with the square base-final in tricycle gear airplanes. One day when I get to fly a taildragger for real I'll see what I prefer for those! Link to post Share on other sites

Massive thanks to @OCA_LoneStar for this information, I didn't know of this file/folder path for TrackiR so was unable to use @SYN_Requiem brilliant TrackiR profile. I faffed about for ages trying to get it to work, I had the profile in the wrong place until I read this post. The profile has improved my flying fun immensely. I can almost shoot stuff down now thank you very much indeed for these excellent tutorials. Kind Regards, MDS1 Link to post Share on other sites

Trooper117 2622 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Those out takes were brilliant, made me laugh out loud! On the other hand, it's a perfect example of people who buy a flight sim, try to get to grips with it, fail dismally, bin it because it seems to difficult and never play it again... I wonder how many hundreds, if not thousands have gone through that routine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

She's someone who isn't all that interested in flying and actually holds a little fear when it comes it in RL, but I've taken her up a couple of times in a Cessna 172 when I was instructing and that has helped her since then. 2 hours ago, Trooper117 said: Those out takes were brilliant, made me laugh out loud!

There was some other choice words though 😉 I'm hoping that when I have her flying again with me in the back on my laptop teaching it can help people out who are new to the whole thing as I'll treat her as a "zero time student" so to speak.

From my understanding there is a difference between being a flight lead and the positions in a formation, so you can swap roles of positions 1,2,3,4 etc but flight lead still remains the same pilot retaining overall control. Kind of like a mother in law at that dance! 😁 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I never get tired of hearing about the success stories, it makes everything worth it 😁 For the shooting I have several deflection shooting videos but you've probably seen them lol It will just take some practice and plenty of throwing yourself into different situations so you can get used to the different sight pictures you encounter. **** New vid: continuing some of the two ship formation stuff showing how to rejoin a formation and how to overshoot the rejoin if you screw it up.
