Greetings, it's been a long time , last year (in October) we had the TrackIR api ,we worked on it from October (2013) to February (2014), in February our HDD's Dedicated server has burnt (That's what OVH said :V )

At the start (December to February) we tried to make a 100% c++ module but the Source Engine is glitchy so with a higher language level (and with hooks, plus : importing that into gmod without making a module is VAC-Bannable, so i dediced to make an Glua API) it was easier .


Anyway, few days ago i started working back on it from scratch (because we forgot this project for months :p )

Here we are, we are ready to release it, it's a Lua api with an lua code exemple. (3DOF control, not X Y Z for the moment)

For the moment, here is the Git Repo with the Lua code but without the module (we need to make more tests on it)

There is also a kind of api guide with how to use the lua functions.


Here is how it looks

Still working on it the binary module is ready to be deployed but the Lua part is not finished, there is some bugs (addon conflict) with WAC (Aircraft addon (in ArmA, piloting without TrackIR is not really easy :p ))

Happy new year

Lapin,

Thanks for putting in the work. I can't wait to play around with this and see how it does.

Regards,

Still working on it, i added a <Arma-Like> leaning system (First and 3rd person support, because only 1st person support would be called cheating :p)

Hello to the moderators and all the members here.
This is my first post there.

@Lapin: hello to you. I happened to find this post and it seemed much interesting.
I'm not an expert in programming - I'd better to admit I know nothing about - but I'm fond of military flight simulations, actually Falcon BMS 4.34 and DCS World, and using TIR 5.
Guessing that adding this mod of yours could be most useful to enhance my flight experience, would you kindly explain to this newbie how to install and set properly it in both those sims above?

Thanks a lot in advance, and with best compliments and regards.

Strange... no answer at all?

I posted an unappropriate question, perhaps?
