Just use the ins/home/pgdn/pgup/end/delete keys to position your head where you want it to be when you center the trackir, and press F10. This will sabe that position as the new default "center position" for that plane.

That's all. Now you can put on your clip and center the trackir using whatever key you have programmed in trackir software. I use a button on the joystick, because sometimes during a fight you become "off center" in your chair, and so it is faster to recenter without reaching for the keyboard.

You will need to do this for every plane, but just once per plane.
When I started to fly RoF, I used the center position aligned with the sights, but now I'm flying with my head centered in the cockpit and leaning everytime I want to take a "precision shoot". I think this was the way they did, because you wouldn't be flying leaning all the time (most of the planes have the sights off center).

Cheers.

Does that work in CLOD, i thought that only worked for ROF?

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.

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.

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
