Can't enable Z-axis in Lock On Flaming Cliffs

Post by humpeligimp »

I have a TrackIR 3 pro with vector expansion.
I'm using it to play Lock On.
The new addon "flaming Cliffs" should enable Z-axis (zoom in and out).
However I can't get it to work.
In my TrackIr software profile i have enabled X, Y and Z axes and the little heads move correspondingly. Everything ok.

In the game i have removed any zoom bindings to buttons and axis.

However there is absolutely no response in the game when i move my head back and forth.

I have tried to ask in the lock on forum through this thread

But they finally suggested to contact you.

I hope very much you can help me.

Kind regards Humpeligimp

You realize that the Z-axis is controlled by your joystick within the game correct? Z-axis is normally assigned to the throttle on that joystick in particular as I have the same one.

The Z-axis in the game controls is totally seperate from the Z-axis in the TrackIR software.

Have you tried something as simple as completely deleting the game and TrackIR software and starting with a fresh copy of both?

Hi Humpeligimp
Read your post in ubi forum and I have Flaming Cliffs and also use X52 stick with no probs. So maybe we can compare notes and get you going. Flaming Cliffs doesn't support 6dof. so the only axis you need active in TIR profile are. Yaw, pitch and the Z axis. But if others active should not cause problem. I did not even clear key commands in game. Do you have exculsive load checked in your tir profiler if so is it the same profile assigned to Lock-on. If thats good and little head in tir works then prob must be in game.
Try reassigning key commands to all four zoom functions in game. start game with out TIR running and check if keys work for zoom. then post results. meanwhile. I will check thru game config files to see if I can duplicate your problem.

Hello Jeff I reinstalled the game from scratch, including the new patch. Now it works without having to set anything in the game configuration.
(And NO Rich. It's not that simple setting up a flight sim all over)
