How I got TrackIR working with Train Simulator 2014
Posted: Mon Oct 14, 2013 6:21 am
I managed to find a way to get my TrackIR to work a bit in train simulator. It only works for looking around, not zooming etc.
1. Start trackIR (I use the one-to-one profile for train simulator)
2. Start TIRMouse.exe (called Mouse Emulation in the windows start menu)
3. Run the TrainSimulator autoHotKey script
4. Start Train SImulator.
If you're not familiar with AutoHotKey, it's a free scripting control program for windows. With it, I bind the \ and | keys to allow turning on and off free look mode.
So in game I press \ and now the trackIR allows me to freely look around. (autohotkey is holding the right mouse button down for me.) When I want to stop the free look, I press | (shift \).
Here's the autohotkey script:
If you want to go to the next level, I use VAC to use voice commands. So I can just say "look around" and trackir is working. I say "look done" and it stops. I also have voice commands for bringing up the map, going between the various views and such. It really adds an immersive element to the game
