Changing Center Point

Post by mrsylky »

I have just started using TrackIR 4 primarily with Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 and the PDMG 747-400. Whenever I select the recenter hotkey, TrackIR recenters the view to looking straight ahead and outside the main window and synchronises this view to my current head position.
Is it possible to adjust where the centre point of vision is located. I would like to be able to adjust the center point of the view to looking down slightly at the flight instruments. I have tried adjusting the acceleration curves but this just changes the rate at which the head turns away from the center point.

This is very simple to do...!
Before pessing the assigned centering hotkey, just keep your head in a slightly uplifted (yaw) position and then press center.
So when you naturally center your head. the virtual in-game center will be looking lower.

Hope I helped.

Thanks for your reply cannon, I've already tried that, it does work to a certain extent. The reason I was trying to change the centre view was to take advantage of the ability to have deadzones in the profile, I would like to be able to lower my focus from looking outside down to the flight instruments and have a fairly stable view. One way around this is to lower my vision and then I pause trackIR so it is frozen on the flight instruments. Maybe a feature for a future software upgrade would be the ability to change the centre focus area by either hotkeys or even using the Point of view switch to change the centre area and then head movement controls vision around this new centre area.
