Anyway I play IL2 online for some fast dogfights/bombing runs with good and realistic plane sets and missions (like UK Dedicated 1 for example has to offer) - so swapping between internal and external views happens a lot... As it is now I even fly IL2 without trackIR as it gets so annoying with the TrackIR on in external... The servers I really like are the ones with forced cockpit on but with allowed external views to negate some of the lack of peripheral vision in a game. Sure, it get's "too good" with external padlock when the target is really obscured - but it's rather fun to me at least not spending a lot of time trying to find a bunch of pixels against the pixel ground that would have been spotted and tracked a lot easier IRL... Just my opinion and I understand that many like it as hard as it can get! I also enjoy the full switch servers that adds another dimension but somehow I often end up in more relaxed servers. Getting old?
Just adding an option to disable TrackIR externally would be a really appreciated feature for me at least! Games like RoF, the DCS series etc have it that way as the default option... I guess it would also take about the same time to do it as doing the texture for the knob of the joystick in one of the beautiful cockpits these talented fellows do! |
You could try pairing your external view key (F2?) to the TR/IR "Pause" Hotkey so that whenever you select external view you would instantly get "Pause". It would mean two presses to get it back (F2 + F1).
If you have something like an X52 you could program this to one of your view controls which would give you one button selection of external view with TR/IR off and one button selection to return to normal cockpit with TR/IR "On"
I think that something like this will be your only option at present.
