Can't look straight up?

[Alibaba]

__Hello, I wonder why I just can't look straight up (90 degrees).

To check upper instead, I have to press “key” to look up... ; - (

I bet it's bug or something... ???

 

Here's short short video, how it is:

in BoS – in CloD – in 1946

Are you using TrackIR? If so you will need to make a separate profile for BoS with a steeper Yaw curve than is necessary for CloD or IL-2 1946.

I'm using FaceTrackNoIR works under led IR, simple /it's just free-track/. PitchUP is set to 90 after that looking up brake, same with 1946, only CloD can have 100 or 110 degrees. I will try to make separate profile, but it doesn’t work that way... I'll give a shoot.

Need help

Made new profile, and I used much steeper Yaw curve, and how it looks now:

Sorry I meant to say change the Pitch. Looking at the FaceTrack manual it looks like you need to increase the Output Pitch Up compared to the input.

 

 

I don't use FaceTrack so maybe someone with more experience can help.

Also take into consideration the placement of the receiver (for lack of a better word). It may be you're outside the limits of its reflection. In other words, when you look up the receiver looses the reflection of the head gear. Try lowering your chair if you can.

is it just me or is that thread gone?

Seems like it´s gone.

So what is the solution???

 

I had the same problem some time ago with FreeTrack, it was enough to replace its binary with the latest one but yesterday I have noticed - after last updates??? - that I cannot look up anymore, again.looking up approx 80 degrees or so?

 

Extremely annoying especially in the dogfight. And different to all - literally all - flight sim games. Definitely the blocker for me for a gameplay of BoS / BoM / whatever later.

I use opentrack and to get 90 degrees pitch I have to set the max pitch at 180 degrees, this is only in BOS.

does anyone ahve a solution for this??

Sorry, I know your pain but the solution, unfortunately, is to try another platform.

 

There is no solution for FTnoIR, the axes don't work correctly with RoF or BoS after some fundamental change to the way that RoF handles camera axes was made long ago. This broke looking up in FTnoIR and it appears to have been carried over to BoS. My recommendation is to get a second hand track IR. Try Ebay or, even better, ask around here. Maybe make a post here on the forums saying that you're looking for one or try teamspeak when it is busy. There are a lot of people with older versions lying around after they upgraded to TrackIR5 and they might be willing to part with their old gear reasonably cheap. (If you get really lucky you might meet one of the community's many philanthropists and score a real bargain) I suffered with FTnoIR in RoF for years and my poor neck hasn't been the same since so I highly recommend that you try TrackIR. 

 

If that's not for you then maybe try Opentrack like Gramps say above.

WTF!? ALIBABA stated 6 posts above yours that he found a solution to the problem but the topic is locked for some reason -_-

Hey fellas... I know this is an old thread but...

 

I had the exact same problem in RoF, until Bidu found a fix: https://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/47688-facetracknoir-90-degree-or-more-pitch-problem/

I've tried this on BoS before but it doesn't seem to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

 

S!

Sorry to bump another old thread, but another effort of mine was ignored. 

I just started playing this game. I have TrackIR5, and I also can't look up. 

I've tried adjusting the profile, but it still makes no difference when I go into the game. 

Not being able to look straight up, and keep eyes on enemies, is more than just a minor annoyance..

It's frustrating enough to discourage me from really getting more into this game. 

TrackIR5 works perfectly fine on every other game, there must be a way to make it work. 

Can someone help me please? 

[=FEW=fernando11]

If you can, make and post a video of you having the issue. Also try to make the exact same mouvment while using the trackIR app/tab to see what the camera is "seeing/picking up"

 

The curves that work for other games usualy dont work the same for il2...

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make and share videos. 

I'll go back later and mess around some more in trackIR and see what the camera sees. But like I mentioned, I already tried adjusting the curves a few different times. And when I start the game it recognizes the head tracking, but it's almost like it just ignores my profile. Because no matter how I've adjusted it, the tracking in game never seems to change. 

[=FEW=fernando11]

Ok. In the trackIR app/program, at the middle left there are 3 tabs, in one of them called TITLES you can Select wich PROFILE gets selected when each game start, you have to look up for il2 Battle of Stalingrad, and choose the profile you are adjusting.

 

Probably you are adjusting a profile, but when you start the game automaticaly goes back tho the default one.

I know it unfortunately didn't fix your problem, but I'd like to note it was exactly what I needed. You do need to set the map file to read-only for it to work, but it's been the solution for me.

Oh wow, this takes me back... haven't touched FC, BoS or RoF in a very long time!

 

I managed to work that out eventually. Set it to readonly, just it means none of the keymappings can be changed which is a little bit annoying! (And i seem to ALWAYS have controler keymapping problems lol)

 

S!

I posted a solution here.
