Jerky cockpit panel at 60 FPS ?

[=CfC= Father Ted]

At last! Someone else with the exact same problem as me! What I see is the cockpit frame shaking. The scenery outside pans smoothly. As the OP said it's not game-breaking, just very irritating.

I'm using freetrack rather than TIR. I don't think the prob is one of the things Charvel mentioned as it all works fine in IL2. If I do obscure the LEDs, FT locks up (as you'd expect) and the shaking stops - so it is about FT. I tried Shift F1 - this stops the shaking but limits my FOV to 180 degrees - ie I can only look out at 90 deg either side of my direction of travel.

The problem seems to be connected to 6doF, in particular in the Z plane. If I "lean" fully in or out, it stops - any position in between causes shaking

Actually I've looked into the TrackIR "Heads" display and the motion is very smooth. This problem does not occur in other sims or in external view of CoD.

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about cockpit vibration. It's more like micro stutters when the cockpit panel is in my Field of View.

Oh, OK, but it did sound like the same problem at first reading

Try higher filtering/smoothing (I dont remember teh name) setting for Z axis in freetrack

This could work but bear in mind the more smoothing you use the more response lag you introduce which can detract from quicker head movements which makes it feel a bit sluggish much like mouse lag.

Janpitor - I have the smoothing whacked to the max. I also tried turning the z axix "off", but neither of these help.

Since UP 3.0 I've tried 6DoF in IL2 now, and get the same issue, so I assume it must be down to my Freetrack profile in some way. I'll have to delve deeper. Thanks for the suggestions.
