Track IR issue

[Tommy_Atkins]

I set it up okay before hand and every thing is okay but when I run the game my view is off centre so I press the F12 centring key but it just stays as is. It's as if the default view has somehow been skewed. How can I deal with this?

[Ghost666]

Is this in all plains or just one?

 

If all:

Try this, press and hold your "pilot head snap position: center" button (default number pad 5), press f12. this should line everything up.

 

If just one, then you need to reset your default view for that plain.

Thanks.

 How do I reset my default view?

[Ghost666]

 

There are 2 ways to do reset the default view.

1) Delete the saved view in the folder "IL-2Sturmovik/data/LuaScripts/snapviews" for the plane. (Shown below for the bf109e7) When you restart the games the default view will be reset.

2) Start the game without tracker and use the keys below to recenter the view, then press f10 to save.

	Move pilot head forward	Insert
	Move pilot head backward	Home
	Move pilot head left	Delete
	Move pilot head right	End
	Move pilot head up	Page Up
	Move pilot head down	Page Down

 

 

Good luck.

[Tommy_Atkins]

That seems to have done the trick, many thanks Ghost!! ?

 

I have no idea why it screwed up in the first place but at least I can deal with it if it happens again. ?

Is there anyway to fine tune your cockpit view? I am sure I could at one point move the default view up, down etc in small increments using certain keys although that may be another sim?

Yes, you can do and I "fine tune" all my views. The thing to do first is to go to settings/camera from the main game menu and put the four camera movement settings to "0". This will allow you to adjust the view slooowwwly. But don't forget to return the settings to what they were.

Again, many thanks Ghost! ?

Is there a way to turn TrackIR5 on and off during gameplay?

[Ghost666]

Yes, by default IIRC F9 pauses tracker. That's a tracker app/program (or whatever we are calling them now) hot key.
