Command Line Profile Selection
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 11:46 am
Ok, I use TrackIR for multiple games (ArmA 2, Falcon 4, Dirt), which means I need to manually switch between profiles.
In addition to using TIR with these games, I also run multiple related apps, Including Voice Activated Commds, ArmA update, etc. Manually loading 3-4 apps, in order to play a single game is a pain and unnecessary. So the common solution is to automatically load all related apps using a command line batch-file.
Programs like VAC, ArmA Update, etc, offer commandline profile selection as a commandline option. In fact most developers of input device software, which offers multi-profiling (as TrackIR does), have the sense to enable their users to select which profile to load via a cammond-line switch.
example, it should be possible to load TrackIR from a batchfile like so:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\TrackIR5.exe /profile: ArmA2"
...or similar.
I've done a search on this forum and I've noticed _multiple_ requests for this feature from other users over the years. And NaturalPoint just ignore.
Common NaturalPoint, this is a basic feature, expected in any decent multiprofile device program. The TrackIR software is literally the _only_ profile-based app in my batch files which is forcing me to manually go into its profiling software to select the profile I need.
Please add this feature.
