I have following Hotkeys:
F7: Precision moving (basically reduces the gradients of the curves)
F8: Profile (whatever this is. But having tried it it does not work as blackdog described)
F9: Pause button
F12: Re-centre (back to initial centre)

I don't have further possibilities to edit hotkeys with the TrackIR software (I use TrackIR 5 software with TrackIR4 hardware)

These are default settings.

Maybe what blackdog describes works with TrackIR5. This I cannot judge. I have TrackIR4 like so many others and it does not work.

EDIT: No, Manu, also pressing F12 in the way as blackdog described it, does not work. It just puts me back to the default centre position.

And even if it did work: everytime I would look around I would have to repeat this manoeuvre as every looking around slightly shifts the centre to some arbitrary position. So definitely not a good solution.

I however support blackdog that the Ju88 gun sight should be fixed. They may fix the other gunsights at the same time. It should not need much programming.

I have TIR4 on TIR5 software too.
My steps are:

1) Start a quick mission
2) I press F12 to center my standard position (6dof activated)
3) I move a little my head on the left
4) I press F12 again

I don't know why you can't.

Anyway I agree that it's not a optimal solution!

This is the way I've always flown German aircraft (or any plane with an offset gunsight) since 6DoF came out. Just center with your head slightly to the left, and you wind up in the old alt-F1 gunsight position with your head positioned normally.

Re-centering the software should simply put the center at wherever your head is oriented at the time, not 'put it back to the default center', as there is no default. He also indicates that simply looking around moves the center about, which shouldn't happen unless your track clip is loose on your head. Perhaps a hardware problem?

Yup this works fine... Highly recommend the proclip over the track clip tho...worth it and you can make it wireless
