Is it possible to have zoom feature with IL2 on a TrackIR?

[Tbag]

Thanks manfx but you're right, no luck so far.

I've uninstalled TIR and Zoomtracker first and then installed both again, this time with the driver you supplied. I set ZT on Key repeat and choose two keys. Then closed ZT, I opened TIR, opened ZT again and then IL2. The keys in IL2 were already mapped correctly but no luck. Did I forget anything. Are the TIR settings important?

Guys, do those of you who are having trouble have your Z axis turned off in Track IR? I had my extra axes turned off and had to re-check Z. Just thought of that, hope it helps.

Nope, z-axis is enabled. TrackIR doesn't work at all when zoomtracker runs (has run) so it's not just one axis...

Damn, I was grasping at straws anyway. I just can't imagine what's different. What I don't get is why TIR stops working all together.

I just got around to trying this, and did get it to work using the Key Repeat mode with Numpad+ & Numpad-. It worked ok, but as the readme says, it will probably work better in IL2 using the Key Sections mode with all separate keys.

I tried it again using the Key Sections mode using the Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2.... Ctrl+0 keys, and for some reason, it does not end the keystrokes.

Does anybody know if ZoomTracker can send combined keys, like Ctrl+1??

Has anyone figured out the problem yet? I have the same experience TIR simply stops working?

Hi, I had the same problem as above with zoomtracker so I did a bit of code in GlovePie http://carl.kenner.googlepages.com/glovepie_download.

PIE.FrameRate = 120 Hz
If (var.x=0) then
 var.min=-5
 var.max=9
EndIf
var.t=(RealTrackIR.z*50)
if (key.Delete) then
 var.min=-13
 var.max=1
 var.x=1
ElseIf (key.End) then
 var.min=-5
 var.max=9
 var.x=1
ElseIf (key.PageDown) then
 var.min=-1
 var.max=13
 var.x=1
EndIf
if (var.t<var.min) var.t=var.min
if (var.t>var.max) var.t=var.max
if (key.Multiply) var.z=0
if ((var.t-var.z)>1) then
 key.f12=true
 key.f12=false
 var.z=var.z+1
ElseIf ((var.t-var.z)<-1) then
 key.f11=true
 key.f11=false
 var.z=var.z-1
EndIf

Instructions:

1. Copy - paste the above code into GlovePIE and save
2. Start your TrackIR / FreeTrack software and set (*) as the recenter key (or change key.Multiply in the code into what ever you have set as recenter)
3. RUN the GlovePIE code
4. Start il2 Sturmovik and set f11, f12 as increaseFOV, decreaseFOV respectively (or change key.f11, key.f12 in the code into what ever you have set for FOV - increase / decrease in il2)
5. Play!

If you want to change sensitivity of zooming you can do it by changing the number 50 in 'var.t=(RealTrackIR.z*50)'
Increasing the number will increase sensitivity and vice versa.
