TrackIR4 and ActiveCamera2004

Post by krswen »

Is there some patch I need for compatibility? When I exit the cockpit to do a walkaround the ground texture disappears and the view switching gets buggy.

How to fix the conflict between TrackIR and Active camera 2004

First of all TrackIR generates its own head latency, which is natural. If Active Camera 2004 is installed its head latency is counteracting with TrackIR�s natural head movement (one program is fighting the other).

If you use TrackIR along with Active Camera 2004 then simply disable the Active Camera 2004 head latency option - which then makes an interesting use of the view presets, which is a nice complement to TrackIR.

Hi Vincent.
I wonder if you would elaborate on the Active Camera fix. I went to the Active Camera settings and unticked Head Latency. This made no difference, so I went back and changed the actual numbers to zero (as well as unticking the box) but I still get the jerking screen. Without Active Camera there is no problem. Any further help will be most welcome. All the best. Ken
