Turn off auto center? How?

[SCG_Redcloud111]

Hey guys. When adding snap turning or pan, the view always snaps back to center. I cant find a way to turn this off. Even when I activate the mouse view it keeps recentering. I assume I am missing something. Can anyone help with this? Thanks

Is this happening when you use the numeric keypad on the left hand side of your keyboard and/or the POV hat on top of your joystick?

 

If so, simply try to hit F9, this should resove the problem.

Kintaro. It is happening with both. I went ahead and cleared all bindings for pan and snap and tested with the numeric keypad alone. I press the key to snap right 90 degrees. It snaps. Then resets. I tried binding to my hat. Problem still. And I tried joy2key. No luck. I have switched modes between pan and snap by hitting f9. I have searched through the bindings. I just can't imagine this is how it is supposed to work. Right? So, something must be off. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks

I stopped using JoyToKey in 2009 when I purchased my TrackIR 5, the very same TrackIR that I still use in the present day (yeah, still in good condition after 11 years of use). If you are ready to spend some 200 US dollars... do not hesitate and buy one TrackIR 5. If not, I don't know how to find an issue to your problem.

Yeah, I am actually a VR guy who primarily flies Great Battles. But I had bought CLOD earlier and thought I might see how well things have gone for them with all the development. I also want to buy Tobruk just to support them. I have Edtracker as well as a nifty app, Smooth Tracker, for my iphone. Smooth Track actually works great. So, I like to glance left or right, and then snap the rest to see further left.

 

Anyway, I am almost ready to put it down. I will probably ask the developers if no one here has any ideas.

Good luck!

CloD camera control with POV HAT, keys is very "plastered".

 

Use joyTokey for mouse emulation in joystick POV HAT:

Ah, emulate the mouse? Thanks, I will try that.

[343KKT_Kintaro]

Sorry redcloud, I thought you were already using correctly your JoyToKey, althought not managing to make it work properly. I didn't know you were missing something. So, yes, the trick with JoyToKey consistis in using it so that it assigns to your POV hat the smooth and flowing movement of the mouse.

 

Otherwise, my friend, I couldn't give you a better advice if not sugggestion you to spend your gold bars purchasing a TrackIR 5. Do not hesitate. TFS needs more time for IL2CoD goes to VR... thus, in the meantime, a TrackIR will be a profitable investment allowing you to really take advantage or your "Cliffs of Dover" simulator.

I have Edtracker, which works well enough. Not full 6dof, but pseudo. But, truth be told, I really only want to fly around a bit in CLOD with the early planes, just to test it out and see how the game has progressed. I won't really spend time in until it has VR. I do love those clickable cockpits, though. I am only revisiting 2D because I decided to buy MFS 2020 early and was blown away by how good it looked, even though I had to fly in 2D. Again, with that, as well, I am hoping for VR.

 

Thanks, for the help. I will try to get the mouse emulated with the hat and see how it goes.

I just tested and it seems that even with the mouse emulation, the problem is persisting. I have narrowed it down to something happening with open track. I realize that I had it on originally when testing the numeric keys. So, I can get the snap turning to work with the numeric keys. The problem is, therefore, not CLOD. When I turn on Opentrack to work with Smoothtrack, something is amiss when I use headtracking and snapturning. Anyway, now worries. Thanks for the help.
