annoying pilot head center snap/deadzone when looking around using head tracking

[von_Michelstamm]

I think this is the default behavior when looking around with your mouse. As your gaze passes by the front windshield, it "locks" or "snaps" into a head-on view for a few degrees.

The problem is it's still doing this when using head tracking, even with all other pilot head controls unbound (except zoom.) I affects both rotation and movement.

How can i fix this?

What kind of head tracking are you using? With FaceTrackNoIR, for instance, you can configure all that.

It is the "normal behaviour" if you set a center dead zone on the view pan axis. I had that once to compensate the awful ministick pots on the X-55 Stick. With just that effect that *any* pan move (mouse too!!) got glued to the center, making mouse aim impossible.

Aha. So remap it to something with an axis, then remove the dead zone I originally added, and then demap it again?

it DID work! Thanks!

I had a 92% center dead zone to deal with the cheap mini stick on an x56.

If you remove the mapping, it doesn't erase the sensitivity curve (or at least disable it).

Definite bug. If you switch to a mouse axis, for example, the sensitivity curve remains but you no longer have access to curve options to turn it off. I didn't have a joystick at hand so i had to manually edit the config file to put in a joystick to even turn it off.

 

Expected behavior is if you unbind a joystick it also unbinds the curves you set up for it, or at least gives you some indication that curves have been modified and still allows you to change them.
