Make sure to update your game list in the software.

This is not quite correct.
Disable translations (Axes X,Y,Z) and the problem goes away.
As long as the origin of rotation is at the center of the view, then you do not need to cater for this.

I'll try this as soon as I get home... it might fix everything.

Sensitivity for trackir is too low at the moment. We need a way to adjust it in game.

Yah, you have to configure this on the TrackIR software itself... once you find a configuration you feel comfortable with you can assign it to the game on the same software and something diffrent to other game if needed.

TrackIR is NOT working for this game.

Even free lock aint working for me.

Did you update your game list inside the Natural Point software? It works fine for me.

Edit: Nevermind, seems you fixed it.

All I had to do to make TrackIR work perfectly for me was run the TrackIR software and start the game. There are no options for it in the game, it just works if it's on. Adjust sensitivities and such in the TrackIR software.

ever since track IR got put in I cant use freelook, anyone else having this problem? Im not trying to use track IR, just want to use it the way I used to. Now freelook moves the arms but not the view, it used to move both.

Hi there!

Apologies to any owners of TrackIR 1 or 2, but we were not able to include support for these legacy versions of the system.

Please let us know which version of TrackIR you are using when detailing issues, it would be greatly appreciated!

What about Freetrack users? Is it the TrackIR encryption? If so can we turn it off?

[DAEDALOS513]

Is this thing a gimmick or does it really make you a better player? Unless this tracks eye movement, I don't see the benefit.

No, as they did not disable (comment out) the encryption check in the API, either due to a lack of balls or a lack of knowledge.

Unless they add support for controlling head movement by an open protocol (eg FreeTrack) or allow joystick control of the head, then everyone else apart from TrackIR owners are left out in the cold.

Correction - I just found this which purports to let you use non TIR kit with games that use encryption.

[Edit - Ah, it seems to only work with certain games, and MWO is not one of them. I will see what I can do about adding support]

Yeah, I know all about that but it patches the game in memory to turn the encryption off. I don't thing PGI is going to like people doing that. My guess is PGI had to sign an agreement with NaturalPoint to use the SDK that specifies the encryption stays on. There is a lot of documentation on that site about the nasty things NaturalPoint does to keep the competition out of "their" niche.

[evilC]

I doubt PGI are going to take action against anyone doing this.

I have made a post on what appears to be the dev thread for the app, here.

[Nuclear Weapon]

Well, now that its implemented and tested... My only problem is with advanced zoom; the helmeth reticle is moving the other reticles along with it while the arms and shoulders are not moving. This causes all reticles to be off the position they should be leading you to "miss aim".

[Stijnovic]

I was hoping to find here some news of somebody who got Freetrack working...
(or any other free IR head tracking software)

If you start your MWO with TrackIR active, the freelook (L-CTRL) is disabled. It works if you don't start MWO with TIR.
