Hello there.

So I got my very first TrackIR set not long ago (at last!) and I've been trying to configure it to run with my sims. Tuned a reasonable, basic profile and have been testing it successfully in CloD and DCS so far.

For some reason, however, 6 DOF doesn't seem to work in Il-2, neither in HSFX mod nor in vanilla 4.12. I find it puzzling, because If I recall correctly, proper 6DOF was officially introduced in patch 4.11.

Pitch, roll and yaw rotation works fine, but there's no linear x,y,z movement at all. I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious either in TrackIR profiler settings, or in the game options (took a closer look anywhere I could, without success). Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Art

If your in gunsight mode, you'll get very little liner movement, if any at all. But you'll get x, y and roll axis.
What it sounds like, the roll axis is part of the 6DOF addition, I believe.

Allright, gunsight mode, that was it. Didn't notice it was "on" whenever mission started (a bit strange feature in itself), but after disabling it, I can almost dance and jump all over the cockpit ;). Thanks for the tip.
