4.11 - 6DoF debugging

[SpacemanSpiff]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and so please don't be too mad at me for posting in the wrong place if you think I did. Feel free to move the posting somewhere else, though.
I haven't been flying online for quite a while now, but maybe someone saw me mistreating aircraft (usually my own) in the virtual skies where I use the same nickname.

Well, I have the following situation:
I use wine to run Sturmovik in Linux. Until the installation of 4.11 I could use linux-track-wine to control my view in Il-2. Indeed, in 4.10.1m with UP3RC4 it still works. In 4.11.1m it doesn't, even with an identical conf.ini and I am not in the gunsight mode (shift+F1).
Luckily there is another way - DeviceLink. To try it out, I first made sure I could control my view by running 4.10.1m and sending DeviceLink commands from the console. This works, of course only 2dof but that's ok.
When running 4.11.1m, the same commands do not work. The DeviceLink of my 4.11.1m installation does work as I found out by sending DeviceLink commands which control e.g. throttle settings and such.
I tried to find a solution online but did not succeed.
Did the input format of view/trackIR-related DeviceLink commands undergo undocumented changes? Is there some settings in conf.ini I need to adjust (tried both trackIRUse=0 and 1)? Is this simply a bug? If yes, are there fixes around which I did not find?

Thanks for your help!
