TrackIR 5 profile?

[kestrel79]

Anyone have a good TrackIR 5 profile?

The one I use for RoF and a10c seems a bit touchy in CoD. I'm not good with the profiler software is there one that's really good for 6DOF with CoD?

To be honest with you it's a highly situational matter as it is, not to mention that your definition of a "good" profile might be totally different from another person's.

I've downloaded profiles that came with a lot of praise which i found unsuitable for me and vice versa. Some people prefer twitchy profiles for fast panning of views, others prefer slower but steadier profiles that give you more precision and won't twitch at the slightest amount of head movement.

Then it's how you setup your equipment. The trackIR does come with a visible light filter but i've found out that my tIR4 pro did tend to pick up reflections from a glass-framed photo poster mounted on the wall behind me, so ambient light seems to play a small part.

Positioning of your camera, distance between you and the camera, how far you can turn your head without losing sight of your screen (eg, profiles that work well for larger monitor might not work so well on a smaller one) and how far you can turn your head without the camera losing sight of the reflectors or IR leds, all these are things that play a role.

In other words, you could visit someone and test their profile on their PC, like it and copy it for your own use, only to find out that it works different on your setup.

My advice would be to do it yourself in small steps. Start with one of the stock profiles and change 1-2 things at a time, then fly a sortie to see how it works.

What i did was start with the stock smooth profile and modified that. I inserted a dead zone in the middle so that it doesn't shake when i'm trying to look through the gunsight and aim, then i kept the curve level up until the 4/8 o'clock position to ensure steady panning for spotting targets and finally, i upped the sensitivity from 7/5 o'clock towards 6 o'clock so that i can turn the view faster when i need to check six.

I'd upload it for you but i don't remember where it is on my hard disk, if i still have it that is. My tIR 4 camera died and i couldn't justify the expense for a new set so i'm currently using freetrack, so i can't really be of much more help in how to set up a tIR profile apart from what i already told you.

However, the profiler software is very intuitive and if you take the time to mess around with it for a while you will certainly come up with something that suits you.

I just started with the basic flight profile that comes with the track IR software, then I just made to x axis a bit more steep (faster head movement side to side).

I ended up making my own. And right now I really like it. It's pretty simple. Just Yaw and Pitch, with X axis so I can lean side to side when taxing.

On my setup all the other axis just came across as annoying. For zoom I set the 3 FOV cockpit views to my x52 slider like I did with my TrackIR 3 in IL2. Works great.

I also put in a nice large deadzone so I can look straight ahead easily.
