4.11 - 6DoF debugging

[Freelansir]

No bug (I think) I just need help with the instructions for TrackIR and what actually goes in the conf.ini.

Instructions are:

Setting the conf.ini
In section [HookView Config], the following parameters can be added: LeanF, LeanS and Raise. Possible range is from 0.01 to 1.0 with higher number giving faster motion. These settings affect all types of controllers (including TIR).

I added the following lines to my conf.ini at the end of [HookView Config]:

[HookView Config]
AzimutSpeed=0.1
TangageSpeed=0.1
LenSpeed=1.0
MinLen=1.0
DefaultLen=20.0
MaxLen=50000.0
Speed=6
LeanF=1.0
LeanS=1.0
Raise=1.0

I only get 2DOF and yes, I checked to make sure I wasn't in gunsight view.

Could someone post their lines to the conf.ini so I at least have a starting point ?

Thanks

TrackIR 5 worked for me without any need to add anything to conf.ini - I've not got LeanF, LeanS or Raise set at all.

I have:

[HookView Config]
AzimutSpeed=0.1
TangageSpeed=0.1
LenSpeed=1.0
MinLen=1.0
DefaultLen=20.0
MaxLen=3000.0
Speed=6

Works fine for me. Are you sure your profile for IL-2 has the other axes enabled?

Hi !

First I would like to congratulate all DT members involved in the 6Dof addition, specialy for the Fw 190; guys you did a very nice job

I would like to draw your attention on the fact that since the Fw 190 A8 has a "flat canopy" and as the Fw 190 A8 Mistel share with the A8 the external 3D, we have, inside the Mistel cockpit the "Late canopy", the same as the A9 now so it don't match at all...

I think that the mistel should now have the same canopy that A8, exactly what I made in my Fw 190 & ta 152 Pack

Best regards !

Thanks for the help guys. It was really working before but since I couldn't lean in real close to read the instruments I thought something wrong. My TrackIR profile I use for other sims and is still okay. Will have to mess around with it more.

My thanks again !

I solved the problem by using my UP3-conf.ini.

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
