Just an idea about TIR centering.

Post by Jaeger »

In the future, would it be possible for the user to be able to edit where the "centering" point is?

Not thats it's a problem now, but the way I sit, or more precisly, how high I sit, and the height of the monitor and Track Ir unit cause the centering point to be below where the actual center of my monitor is, (or at least it seems so) and below where my normal "at rest" center of vision always resides.
Does that make sense?

On both my desktop, and in IL-2 I'd like to be able to have it center, based on my relationship/position to the monitor, to where the pip of the gunsight is. presently it ends up below this point.

I can kind of manually do it now by lowering my head a bit prior to hitting the centering key (F12) and then raising it to a normal comfortable position, but thats kind of a pain to always remember to do. I also find that by doing this, I need less head movement to "look up". Down I'm not toworried about. Except for the occational instrument monitoring, I want to keep my head out of the cockpit as much as possible.

Thanks

You should be able to do this now. Set your view to where you want the center to be (your gunsight like you said) and then pause TIR. Then move your head to where you want it and hit the CENTER TIR hotkey you mapped. Then unpause TIR and that should do you.

This is theoretical by the way, I havent tried it in enhanced mode yet. It "should" work, but not promising. Ill test it next time I am in FB.
