TrackIR 4 and HOTAS Hat Hotkeys

Post by Geobyte »

Just got TracckIR 4 and installed - it looks great once I get over the nausea (laugh).

I'd like to assign pause, precision and center hotkeys to my joystick HOTAS hat to be able to minimize keyboard and joystick "button" pushes. Hotkey edits dont seem to pick up the "hat" pushes. Is it possible to do what I'm intending?

Select the profile that you want to use and then select 'Edit'. Once that is done you should see 'Hot Keys' opening that will alow you to asign the relevent command to the ones you want on your HOTAS just press the releven button on your stick.

Barred,

Thats exactly what I did. I can assign hotkeys to the joystick buttons, but not the HOTAS thumb doohickey. Thats what I'd like to do.

Ahh the mouse emulator. I use a Cougar so there are a few hats. Have you tried assigning the analogue to a keyboard key and then assigning the relevent keys in TIR?

Otherwise Track to Pan might be able to hel. I am not sure as I have not used it.

Make sure TIR is not running when you assign the keys to your hat switch.
