"Y" Axis in Arma2

Post by DMC69 »

Hello

First off I have the TrackIR5 and latest drivers "V5.0-Final B" And I've seen that it doesnt by default support the "Y" axis in Arma2...but then I saw this vid on Youtube.

I have zooming in and out working just fine but not up and down ....ie the Y axis has he switched his Z axis for his Y axis.....I tried to see if I could do that and no luck..?????

Its a puzzle as to how this guy made the vid.....I'm still stumped...and the guy that made it has disabled comments and youtube messages, so I'm now waiting for him to allow me to be a Youtube Friend, so I can ask him this question myself.....but nothing back so far.

Still hoping someone can help......as this function of Peeking over things with the TIR would be real handy.

Thanks :)

That effect is achieved by aiming down, which lowers your overall profile, and then looking up. I haven't tried it myself, but several users have experimented with it as a sort of "fix" to the lack of Y support.
