Inverted axis with new driver

Post by soldano »

I installed the new 41029 driver, and now have my yaw axis inverted in all profiles, even if checking or not the invert option box.-Everything was fine with the original driver.- What is this new "true view" for ?, I didnt find an explanation about it,-
Thanks

One thing to check, in the TrackIR software, go to View, Tracking, Settings. Make sure that the camera rotation is set properly here.

True-View -

Picture it this way. I'll use a flight simulator as an example, because that's what I use, and it makes it easier to assign an arbitrary forwards and backwards direction for the explanation. In normal, non true view mode if you turn your head the translation axis doesn't rotate with it.. meaning if you look 90 degrees to the right (that is so in game your view rotates 90 degrees), then in game it would make sense that sliding your head to the left (relative to your head) would move it towards the front of the cockpit, in game. Instead it moves you to the left side of the plane. The translation axis hasn't rotated to follow the orientation of your head.

Whereas in trueview; I can look almost behind me, out a side window, and then if I move my head to the side (proper in game direction) I peek out over the edge of the window.

The camera rotation is set as normal: "0"
Is there any other solution ?
Thanks

Hmmmm, check and make sure you are only getting the 3 reflectors in the Tracking window, also try a clean install of the TrackIR software.

Remove the TrackIR software by doing the following:
a. Click "Start"
b. Click on the "Control Panel"
c. Click "Add/Remove Programs"
d. Find "TrackIR" and click "Change/Remove"
e. Once launched it will give the option to completely remove it.
f. Delete the NaturalPoint folder at the following location, C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint
g. Download and reinstall the software from the following location, http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06- ... nuals.html
