4.11 - 6DoF debugging

[kpax]

Hello,
I have a TiR 5.0 and it works with IL2 4.11m. I have defined hotkeys to pause and center the trackir.
I have two problems with TiR in game :

• hotkeys do not respond in IL2 (not possible to pause or center track ir)
• is it possible to use mouse in external views ? For the moment only track ir works in external views.

What can I do to make all of this work ?

Thanks

Best Regards.

1. Which keys / joystick buttons did you use? Did you make sure they were not already bound in your Il-2 controls screen?
2. I would like to know this also!

Hi,

Thanks for answering.
I have tried several ways : trap, not trapped, a key not used a key used,
a single char key etc... (I tried with the pause hotkey -- so I can see the red led if by chance it worked ) with the same unwanted result : hotkeys are not working when I run IL2!. If I do alt-tab then I can use the hotkeys are correctly sent to the TiR.

Have fun

Tried a joystick button? Does your keyboard have any fancy drivers or anything like that? Does your joystick use a keymapper?

Hello,

My keyboard is a Logitech G15. Hotas is CH-Products.
The only way I succeed to use some TiR hotkey is to use the
Hotas in Dx Direct Mode and map a DX-Button to the hotkey. This is not a solution for me as I need to maps keys not only in Dx-Button (CH-product map mode).

I have this problem only in IL2. Neither the keyboard, neither the Joystick ( in mapped mode) can send the hotkey to TiR. I think I will drop the use of TiR in IL2.

I do not have this problem in Cliff of Dover or RoF.

Anyway, thank you for the help. I will investigate further.
All idea are welcome.

Salute!

Not sure that this really counts as a bug, but the Pe-8 gyrocompass is practically impossible to read behind the control column, even at the extremes of head movement. Any chance of tweaking the movement limits a bit so it can be read? I doubt the pilots had to unbuckle their harness and stand up to navigate.

Hello,

On C6 forum JV69_Kartoffe gave me the solution. IL2.exe and TrackIr.exe must run both with same rights : admin or not. So I put both executables to run in admin mode and I got back the TiR hotkeys while running IL2.

If this can help some body....

Salute

Thanks for your report! It really may help some or the other.
Although it works for me anyway:

TrackIR.exe - Admin
Il2fb.exe - no admin

Win7 64bit

TrackIR 4, Logitech G15 keyboard

TiR 5 here.
I made some other tests:

TiR admin -- il2 no admin ->ok

It seems that the TiR must have at least same priviledges as IL2.
I tried with RoF and I have the same problem; if program has a higher priviledge (admin versus non admin),hotkeys are not responding.

Have a nice day.

To use the mouse in external you must either turn off TIR or remove your hat .. or whateer you use to activate TIR .. Otherwise your head will still control th external views.
