question about Track IR 5

[69th_Ustio]

Hello guys

 

Is there a way where I can only use the head rotation (pitch, roll, yaw) with the track IR and X,Y,Z head movement with my Hotas button?

 

So far I disable the X,Y,Z axis on the Track IR menu, and bind the Pilot head movement to my HOTAS. but every time I press the button to move my head it just won't move.

 

Thanks

I believe you can only do one or the other.

Why would you even want that ? One of the great advantages Track-IR has is that it can track your head's position via a camera. This is superior to gyro-based systems which can only measure the angles but not the position itself which eliminates X,Y,Z axis entirely. IMHO only Z axis (aka. zoom) should be bound to joystick's hat and the rest should be taken care of by Track-IR.

You could try head-free movement, listed in the camera controls in the key mapping, I think the default is alt-f1. Not sure if it will work, but worth a shot.

 

Though I'd recommend adjusting curves to get the head translation how you like. You can disable roll. Also try turning off symmetry on the Y-axis and making up more sensitive than down with a larger deadzone for down. Try making the Z and Y axes very sensitive.

 

I could never get the Z axis to also zoom in, but that could be nifty, I ended up binding camera zoom to a free slider.

I have been trying to bind a toggled zoom (on/off) to one position on my hat switch with no luck. Please tell me what you did to make this work.

Sorry, my setup is different and I believe also a more common one: I have hat-up to zoom-in and hat-down to zoom-out.

Thanks. I may have to do this if I don’t find another way.
