Mounting Track IR Upside down help needed.

Post by Hellcat »

Hi all new to Track IR, my problem is how do I get it to work upside down. I have a shelf just above my monitor and it would be ideal to put the Track IR there but how do I change the settings, at the momment if I look up my screen image looks down if I look right the screen image looks left etc. I have tried all the options in the 'Tracking screen' regarding inverting the X and Y and also 180 degrees switch but still now good.

Can anyone help out there!

In the configuration for the 2.01 series of NaturalPoint software, in the Tracking tab there's a 'Camera Rotation' selector. Pick 180 and you should be rocking.

Interesting. I haven't done much playing with a rotated trackIR myself. I'll run some tests and get back to you guys.

let me know if you sort this out; for me, upside down never worked, at least in FS2002. Despite making all the appropriate modifications to the settings; the software just seemed to keep reverting automatically to the 0 degree rotation; I'd set it to 180 degrees, then try the sim - but no success - every movement was the in the opposite direction than it should have been. Then, when I go back and recheck the settings, the 90 degree and 270 degree options are both selected (!?).
