Problems with TrackIR5 and XPlane 11.5RC2 X-Camera

Post by see_e_oh »

When I load up XPlane, the Pilot view (and all related views) do not center properly (centers at +/- 45 deg right of forward).

Everything works fine in the TrackIR software.

I tried setting up new camera Pilot View in X-Camera and it centers off +/- 45 deg right of forward). Keyboard centering command "w" also puts it off the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I am unaware of this problem but let's try to see if we can troubleshoot this a little. Is "w" your Center Hotkey? If it is, is your profile set to exclusive and manually set to XPlane under the titles setting in Advanced Settings?

If yes, do you have any lights behind you that are getting picked up by the TrackIR camera?

I will try to check this out personally in XPlane when I can. In the meantime, if anyone else has run into this problem please feel free to respond!

Best,

Kai

Thanks Kai. Appreciate the input.

So after confirming trackIR was working properly in MSFS2020, I figured it was an XPlane/XCamera problem. I finally ended up disabling the X-Camera add-in and then re-enabling it and restarting XPlane — that fixed it!
