The Opposite of Immersive

Post by Hman »

Hello, I haven't got any solution yet on the TrackIR forum, so I am posting same problem here.

I installed Beta 5 software today - with same problems persisting. Problem is constant need for recentering in Rise of Flight and stickiness at extreme view position (e.g., checking six).

By stickiness, I mean it takes about a second for the view to start shifting away from the six position.

And a new problem with the Beta 5 soft: a little "headwobble" after recentering.

All these problems are quite annoying and the opposite of immersive.

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried the new version of 5.0 Final? We're out of beta now, so you should use it instead. Though, no specific changes were made to the code that should affect this.

What does the TrackIR camera view reveal when these behaviors pop up? Are all three dots of the TrackClip/TCP green? Do they flicker red? Are there any other dots on the camera view?

What are your profile settings? Can you post a screen shot of them with the yaw axis open on the graph? Can you take a screen capture of the behavior in game?

How can I take a screenshot of a one-second delay, Seth? Or a need to recenter?

Do you have Rise of Flight available for testing? There are many posts about this problem on SimHQ - the problem is general, affecting everybody playing this game.

If anybody is not experiencing this problem, please post your configuration and I could try it.

The new software has eliminated the constant need for recentering that I was experiencing. Super.

But there is still the matter of the stickiness at 6 position.

Are you seeing on 3 green in the camera view, no red?

Hmmm, I can't find the green or red lights since using the new version 5 software. But I know that the unit is tracking fine, and that this problem is linked with my sim: Rise of Flight.

I don't know if that is an issue for Natural Point or Neocube, but I hope somebody steps up. It takes too long to move the view away from 6 o'clock, even using a fast yaw curve (very fast).

But congrats and thanks for somehow fixing the recentering problem, that is a huge advance.
