TrackIR Settings

I put two polarized lenses from sun glasses on mine

I can keep the curtains open most of the day now as my lounge faces south and its only an issue in the evening when the sun is lower in the sky :)

My TrackIR camera does face the window as well and i have the pro clip and it all works sweet :)

I will soon be adding 'Run as High Priority' options for the Opus FSXTRACKIR.EXE and the NP TrackIR programs. Users have reported that setting, normally the NP TrackIR program, to run in High Priority has cured there otherwise jerky TIR response.

Hi Gabe

You can use Live Camera Control to make temporary adjustments to the viewpoint, it is compatible with TrackIR and our DHM.

Thanks Cheryl, I give it a try.

Hi Cheryl, I set my viewpoint with Live Camera and viewpoint was ok. After shutting down FSX and later when I got back in the sim, I had to reset my viewpoint. Live Camera didn't save changes permanently.

Thanks for explaining, it makes sense now.

I like the idea of having to simulate adjusting your seat. Another step closer to the close as it gets for flight sim. 

Thanks,

You can use Live Camera to create your VC views. Normally you create them for each aircraft you fly. You can easily select a view then click on Add New Camera to clone the view, then just edit the view to suit your new aircraft. There are also CDF (Camera Definition Files) on our website, provided by users, these camera definitions can be Imported into Live Camera. Whichever method you use its a fairly simple process to create your views.

Stephen,

   I use Virtual Cockpit views on all my clients for a panoramic setup. I have Track IR working through OPUS on my P3D server machine (renamed the manifest files etc.). Unfortunately, I cannot get my head movements to show up in the Virtual Cockpit Views on my clients even though TIR works fine on the server.

    I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but I do have DHM enabled on the Camera Control page for the P3DServer Camera which is assigned to all aircraft types. I enabled Live Camera on the Server which of course greys out the General DHM Options on the OPUS FSI Server-Configuration page. Is this the correct approach?

     I've read the forum and the manual but can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong that prevents my TIR movements from passing through to my clients? Any advice would be appreciated.

     Thanks,

Peter.

Stephen,

      Thank you for clarifying this. Sure would be awesome if that feature could be added. I have a 9 monitor setup with virtual cockpit views and it is very immersive seeing the cockpit interior as part of the simulation. If only I could move my head with TIR to look over the glare shield or look down out of a side window it would really complete the experience. Any thoughts about including this down the road or is the FSX / P3D code prohibitive? It would seem to me to be a natural extension of DHM effects on the clients which show motion of the airframe relative to the observer (ie: eyepoint).

Peter.

Double check that there are no manifest files hiding somewhere that will need renaming. Open the FSXTRACKIR program window and make sure TrankIR is connecting to it. It should be reported in the window. Nothing much else to do other than what's in the manual and the TrackIR topic here. Are your TIR lights coming on? Have you checked OpusFSX exists in the TrackIR games list, have you checked to make sure OpusFSX is shown in the TrackIR display.

Stephen

Try starting TrackIR after starting the FSXSERVER program just to see if that makes a difference.

I am back now so I will check to see what I get. But looks like yours is not connecting or attempting to connect to OpusFSX interface through its own NP SDK.

Stephen

I have tried both TrackIR versions 5.1.3.Final and 5.2.2.Final with no problems. Although I did have to rename the three manifest files again in the NP TrackIR5 install folder.

Please double check you have done the above then check again for OpusFSX listed in the 'Tiles' title. Once connected (with FSX, TIR and FSXSERVER running) it is down to the NP TIR5 software to show OpusFSX as the Title within its window.

You could try reinstalling TIR version 5.2.2.Final version, don't forget to rename those manifest files again.

Stephen

You should NEVER run an AV program with FSX, P3D, TrackIR, or OpusFSX.

If you want to flight sim then shutdown your AV software completely.

You only need Windows Firewall. AVs are nothing but trouble and ruin performance and correct functioning of the software.

Stephen

Steve do the TR5 simconnect files still need to be renamed? I have checked the folders you instructed and I cant find them with Win search. I did find the Simconnect.manifestopus and Simconnectsp2.manifestopus1 files. Does Opusfsi change the files on its on now? Thanks.

Am setting up my new system.
