Is there some kind of auto-centering going on? In IL-2 when I hit F12 trackIR resets to center at the position where my head is when I hit F12. Thus I can fiddle in my seat as much as I want. F12 doesn't appear to do anything in this game.

I'm using trackIR4 Pro with the latest updates.

F12 is the TV view mode in RoF. Try remapping your keys. It seems you have a conflict.

Another TrackIR question.

When I'm in game, using TrackIR the game re-centers itself in a close up view.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Look and see if you have Force Feedback enabled.
I did by default and Sandman said there was talk about disabling it with track ir.


I tried it and my constant zooming went away.

Yeah Force Feedback is disabled, I got rid of the TV controls that used F12. Still no dice. TrackIR just seems to be a little wonky in general. I can zoom my head in close, but I can't pull my head back past the default position. It is not a smooth 6 DOF like in Flight Sim X.

Also, probably an unrelated problem, no matter what I do I cannot invert my rudder or throttle. I have tried the "invert" option in the settings but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have Force Feedback disabled.

This is most frustrating. Especially in a dogfight.


Any other thoughts?

If TrackIR looses your signal it will reset your view in ROF it appears. I had this occuring occasionally and I just repositioned my TIR and it was greatly reduced. I have not discussed this with neoqb yet. I was waiting to see if anyone complained about TIR in ROF.

Also, try it with TrueView off.

Make sure you have Trap enabled in your TIR software for F12 so the game and TIR don't compete for the keystroke.

There should be no correlation between TIR and FF enabled.

A tip on the inversion process for Axis - click the invert check box BEFORE you move the axis. Then move the aaxis and it should be inverted.

Not sure where either option is located at. I do not see a TrueView in the ROF settings nor do I see a Trap option in the TIR software. nope

How is this possible? The invert button is grayed out when you click "Change". Even if it wasn't, the software would register my mouse movement when I try to click Invert!


EDIT: Nevermind, found both TrueView and TRAP. Trap was already enabled... disabled TrueView and no dice.

Yes, generally, when TrackIR loses a tracking dot, ROF will recenter your view automagically(c) when it finds it again.

Try playing with your TrackIR software. I use F12 in ROF also, so make sure it's set in your TiR software for that profile.

I think there are some current TrackIR improvments comin for ROF though as well.

Click "Change" and don't touch or move the mouse until you operate the axis you want. If you do it will go to the mouse axis. Once you have the correct axis in the box, then check the invert box. Worked for me.
