NO, it is NOT a workaround as it DON'T work. With F9 I just pause TrackIR so that I can no longer use TrackIR. I may move it as you described but as soon as I turn on TrackIR again (in order to use it), it takes me back to default centre. I tried it. Others tried it. It never worked. Only valid conclusion: With TrackIR working it is not possible to shift the centre.

why do you pause it? of course it will return back at his center position, what you need to do is to assign the new center with the hotkey.

Then you all are doing wrong! I tried some minutes ago and it works.

You don't have to pause TIR, you only need to recenter it while your head is a little on the left.

I don't know which TrackIR you have but with my TrackIR I don't have a hotkey that allows to define a different position as centre.

I have following Hotkeys:
F7: Precision moving (basically reduces the gradients of the curves)
F8: Profile (whatever this is. But having tried it it does not work as blackdog described)
F9: Pause button
F12: Re-centre (back to initial centre)

I don't have further possibilities to edit hotkeys with the TrackIR software (I use TrackIR 5 software with TrackIR4 hardware)

These are default settings.

Maybe what blackdog describes works with TrackIR5. This I cannot judge. I have TrackIR4 like so many others and it does not work.

EDIT: No, Manu, also pressing F12 in the way as blackdog described it, does not work. It just puts me back to the default centre position.

And even if it did work: everytime I would look around I would have to repeat this manoeuvre as every looking around slightly shifts the centre to some arbitrary position. So definitely not a good solution.

I however support blackdog that the Ju88 gun sight should be fixed. They may fix the other gunsights at the same time. It should not need much programming.

Is it ideal? No it isn't.
Is it doable? Of course it is, it's recentering your trackIR.

If you can't recenter it, maybe it's the profiler software/drivers that are at fault? I would backup my profiles and do an uninstall/reinstall of my trackIR software in such a case.

I use this all the time

I have TIR4 on TIR5 software too.
My steps are:

1) Start a quick mission
2) I press F12 to center my standard position (6dof activated)
3) I move a little my head on the left
4) I press F12 again

I don't know why you can't.

Anyway I agree that it's not a optimal solution!

This is the way I've always flown German aircraft (or any plane with an offset gunsight) since 6DoF came out. Just center with your head slightly to the left, and you wind up in the old alt-F1 gunsight position with your head positioned normally.

Re-centering the software should simply put the center at wherever your head is oriented at the time, not 'put it back to the default center', as there is no default. He also indicates that simply looking around moves the center about, which shouldn't happen unless your track clip is loose on your head. Perhaps a hardware problem?

sorry for make the same question, any news to the date launch?

No news other than it should be soon, but with software this complicated, it rarely launches without a delay.

Wow.........New graphics engine did not turn out so well? Guess someone was a little too ambitious..

Hope the remake does turn out well. If it does, there's hope.

Maybe they should have taken a cue from the IL2 1946 UP modders. If CLOD worked as well I would be happy...

Mulitplayer? LOL

Dog fight missions on those worthless dogfight maps just don't cut it.

Not much appeal does it have until we can write a mission on a decent map that my squad mates and I can all jump in and fly some historic BoB ...

Too bad the Planes are such slugs....not everyone wants to do CEM all the time.

Waiting for the patch and hoping...

Yup this works fine... Highly recommend the proclip over the track clip tho...worth it and you can make it wireless
