Configure Track-ir 2

[Beniti]

Hello,

I would like how configure my track-ir for it be more slowly, and especially how manage dead-zones.
In fact, when I play with my T-ir on Lockon Flaming cliffs, my head must stay motionless for avoiding tremors.

Can you help me about that ?

Thanks

Regards

Which version of the TrackIR software are you running?

[Beniti]

The last version.

[VincentG]

So if you have a TrackIR 2 - that would be the 3.13 version of the software.

If you have a TrackIR 3/4 - that would be version 4.1.030

For version 3.13


In this example we will create a profile for a TrackIR Enhanced combat flight
simulator. We�ll create a customized deadzone, set the profile to auto load every
time we run our sim, and unload when the sim closes.
5) Modifying a dead zone motion preset
a. Go to the Motion Page and make sure the Edit Motion Type option
is set to TrackIR Enhanced mode.
b. Select the �Dead Zone� motion preset from the Motion Presets
pulldown menu.
c. Click the �Click here to Customize� button
d. Make sure the Motion Axis Lock is disabled (grey), and the X axis is
selected (Blue)
e. Make sure that Group Edit Points is disabled (grey).
24
f. Use the Edit Point slider to move the X axis edit point to the inside
edge of the dead zone (position 5).
g. Move the Speed slider to 0.
h. Use the Edit Point slider to move the X axis edit point to the middle
of the dead zone (position 10).
i. Move the Speed slider to 10.
j. Make the Group Edit Points button active (Blue)
k. Bring the speed slider to 5.
6) Other settings
a. In the Motion Page, move the Smoothing slider to 80
b. In the Main page, move the Mouse Override slider to 0
7) Creating a new profile
a. In the Profiles Page, Click <create new> in the Profiles list.
b. Write �Combat Sim dead zone� in the Active Profile text area
c. Put any relevant information in the notes area
d. Click the Save button
e. Select the relevant game from the TrackIR Enhanced Games list
f. Select Combat Sim Dead Zone from the Auto Load pulldown
g. Make Auto Unload the profile active (blue)
8) Using the profile
a. This profile will auto load every time you run the


For Version 4.1.030

Each Axis of head movement that the TrackIR software is able to track can be adjusted to have a faster and slower response to your real head movement. The TrackIR software uses an Acceleration Curve to amplify your real head movement, this allows complete control of the in-game view with only a few degrees of head movement. Changing the Acceleration Curve for an Axis allows you to fine-tune the amount of head movement used to control your view, it also be used to create Dead-Zones which help keep the view stable for types of use like Flight Simulation combat.

Hint : You can preview the effects of your changes in both the "Heads" and "Gauges" pop-up windows while you are using the Curve Editor. This will help you understand the how the changes affect your view control motion. You can find out more about these windows in Section 5.5.3 and Section 5.5.4

In order change an Acceleration Curve, you need to open the Acceleration Curve editor. This is done by selecting (clicking once) the Axis you wish to edit from the Axis list and pressing the "Edit" button in the Motion Tab of the Edit Profile Window (you must have a profile open for edit).

The Acceleration Curve editor has a graph which displays how much the motion for the Axis is amplified. The horizontal center of the graph is the origin of the Axis, this corresponds to the "Center" of your head movement that is set by pressing the Center Hotkey. Head movement away from the center of the Axis is represented as moving left or right from the origin on the graph.

The control points on the graph allow you to edit the curve by clicking and dragging the points, or by using the Position and Value controls to select and change the values of individual edit points. Moving a point "up" on the graph will increase the amount of amplification for head movement. Moving a point "down" on the graph will reduce the amount of amplification, moving a point to the bottom of the graph (zero) will prevent head movement from being sent to the TrackIR Enhanced Title while your head is within that area of the Axis.

Presets, which can be loaded using the Acceleration drop-down list, should cover basic tracking needs.

The Copy button and drop-down list can be used to copy your Acceleration curve to other Axes.

Note : As the speed of view control is increased or decreased, you may wish to adjust the amount of smoothing that is used. Increasing the speed will often require an increase in the amount of smoothing to ensure that the view control remains stable and smooth. For details on how to change the smoothing amount, see Section 5.5.6.2

Hello
I have a TrackIR 2 - with 3.13 version of the software.
I did follow fully your recommandation
the issue is when I want to save the profile and if I return in the Motion page:
the speed slider is at 5
and the Edit point is at 0
whatever I do is the same, then I lost the dead zone

Thank you in advance for your reply
kind regards
cool

What version of Windows are you using?

Have you tried a clean install of the software?

1 - Uninstalling from add/remove programs

2 - Deleting the Naturalpoint folder

3 - Reinstalling?
