BMS .7 adds 2d and 3d support for Falcon!
BMS .7 adds 2d and 3d support for Falcon!
The new BMS .7 has 3d and 2d support for Falcon. At last this day has came! (Actually when I found out my girlfriend made the comment that I've never been more excited, even with her hehe.) So anyway, I'll test this out today and hopefully add a post on how well it works and different settigns! Thansk to BMS and Naturalpoint!!!
Re: BMS .7 adds 2d and 3d support for Falcon!
Ok here's my settings adde to my falconsp.cfg file:
// Enables 3d Cockpit TrackIR
set g_bEnableTrackIR 0
// Enables TrackIR for the 2d cockpit. Only works if 3d cockpit support is enabled
set g_bTrackIR2DCockpit 1
// Determines how fast the 2d cockpit is switched
set g_nTrackIRSampleFreq 512
// configures the up/down zones for the TrackIR 2D mode
set g_fTIR2DPitchPercentage 0.5
// configures the left/right zones for the TrackIR 2D
set g_fTIR2DYawPercentage 0.5
For some reason the 2D cockpit requires a 1 instead of a 0 to turn on. The rest of the setting are just the defaults but I bet just about everybody will have different settings in these anyway. Overall it works great!

We aim to please

Re: BMS .7 adds 2d and 3d support for Falcon!
I found that exe on the Check-Six's place. Can you tell how to use TIR with that? I added those lines in the config file but I can't get TIR working.
Re: BMS .7 adds 2d and 3d support for Falcon!
Hmm.. well the 3d part works just like in BoB or Il2:FB or EECH (if you have any of them):
1) enter
set g_bEnableTrackIR 1
in the falconsp.cfg
2) start up the NP application, enter the 'enhanced mode' (F8), activate it (F9)
3) start up falcon, enter the 3d, enter the 3d cockpit
4) press F12 (to recenter) and you should be going
For the 2d pit to operate, you have to set BOTH
set g_bEnableTrackIR 1
set g_bTrackIR2DCockpit 1
, again enable the NP application, enter falcon, press F12.. you should be able to pan in the 3d cockpit as before, but in addition you should be able to navigate in the 2d cockpit (a bit like when using a POV) - look up and you should switch views upwards, look left and the view should go one 'step' to the left etc.. the remaining variables are only to configure this 2d aspect, please look at the patch readme for details

Thanks for your help.
I found a reason why it's not working... I have BMS 0.6 not 0.7. Well, I must find that new version from somewhere.

Actually, I don't need a 1 in the enable command line but I do need it for 2D.
