Q. About Using Trackir W/ Lo-mac

Recommended Posts

I just got my TrackIr thing, put a dot on my thick scull and fired up the Lo-Mac demo. So far, so good! After an hour of tweaking the sensitivies, etc. I finally

got it working the way I want ... except, I can`t force the darn thing to pan upward

more than maybe around 30, 40 deg. I wanna to be able to see straight up,

along my lift vector or even past it. Sideways - there`s no problem. Did anybody

else experienced that? I know, there`s a lot of variables: position of this, distance

of that, etc. - I tried just about everything (except the right thing!)

There is a limited FOV in the demo.

 

Both NP and UBI are aware of the problem and have already corrected it in later beta's.

 

The only thing you can do for now, in the demo, is press CNTR-R_SHIFT (note that is Right Shift) and that will give you better FOV.

Thanks Charlie!

I found that solution on Lo-Mac forum couple of hours ago. It works!

I`ve been flying the demo for the last 2 hours (to heck with work!)

and can`t get enough of it.

I gotta make some videos for some of my friends. They`ve been sort of sceptical

about TrackIr and Lo-Mac. Now, I have to learn how to make the damn videos!

I know there`s some Fraps or whatever it`s called.

What would you suggest?

FRAPS...unless you have a TVout vidcard then you can record your flight onto a digicam.

I have used FRAPS to make an F2.5 movie, but I haven't used it yet with LOMAC.

Thanks Cudaguy!

 

BTW, I think it was your post on Lo-Mac board, regarding TrackIr. Thanks for that

too!
