TrackIr Problem

[remilton]

I have seached the Internet extensivly and have yet to find a solution to my issue. I have TrackIr 5 and it work great in every game I have except Ets2 and ATS. It used to work, but I have not played in a couple of months and now it does not work correctly

TrackIr connects to Ets2 and ATS, however the only movement I can get is front to back and sometimes a little vertical as in raising up or down in my seat or sliding side to side. What I cannot do is look up or down and most improtent I cannot turn and look out either window.

Is there a setting I am missing?

Hi Remilton,

Did you find a solution for the issue, as I have just encounted there same issue on my setup.

One thing I noticed was that if I create a new profile, TrackIR works as it should (including looking left, right, up, and down, but as soon as I switch to an existing profile, it goes back to the old problem. I don't fancy starting all over again to get it to work ... no garantiee that it won't happen on the new profile later.

Something likely modified the control configuration. Delete controls.sii from your profile directory which can be found in "Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles" for non-cloud profiles or "Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\steam_profiles" for cloud ones or compare the working and non-working version.

Hi Komfr,

Thank you for the reply, I have multiple profiles, how do I figure out which one is the "faulty" one as they are just identified by a "random" string?

ps. For some reason I did not get an email alert when you replied.

One way to identify the cryptic profile strings is to open a profile in the game and then exit the game, look at the profiles in the file system, and see which one is time stamped most recently.

Here you can input your profile name and have it converted into hexa or even the opposite. As rule of thumb, each character you used in your profile name counts as two hexa (k = 6B).

Not too sure if this will be helpful but check your main config.cfg file - find uset g_trackir "1" Check it is actually "1" or is there.

Thanks for all the replies.

Using the hex converter and then deleting controls.sii fixed the issue.

Thank you.

I spoke to soon.

As soon as I exited the game, and loaded it again, the issue reapeared. I tried unset g_trackir "1", but it was removed after exiting the game again.

I can "lean forward" but up/down or left/right does not work.

I found these in the controls.sii, not sure why it says -jay2.rx and joy2.ry for yaw and pitch.

config_lines[172]: "mix trackiron `1`"
config_lines[173]: "mix trackiryaw `-joy2.rx`"
config_lines[174]: "mix trackirpitch `joy2.ry`"
config_lines[175]: "mix trackirroll `trackir.device.position.roll?0`"
config_lines[176]: "mix trackirx `trackir.device.position.x?0`"
config_lines[177]: "mix trackiry `trackir.device.position.y?0`"
config_lines[178]: "mix trackirz `trackir.device.position.z?0`"

anyone have any insight into this?

Thanks

Have you tried loading in a new TrackIR profile (not in the game but in Track IR)?

[Road Runner]

Just another thought - you're not using a key in the game which is also one used for TrackIR ie switching off Track IR?

[Prestien]

Thanks for the feedback, I finally figured it out this morning (been logged in and out 8 times now).

I have TobiiEye tracker 4C, which also has a profile for Eurotruck simulator2. After disabling the profile in TobiiEye Tracker 4C, and manually removing the lines with "joy2", TrackIR continues to work after logging out and in again.

Thanks for all the suggestions which helped put me on the right track :-)

so tenho essa!

[remilton]

I would have answered this sooner but Steam did not notify me.
Anyway here is the solution I found for this issue and indeed Tobii Eye Tracker is at fault.

If TrackIr does not move left and right in ETS2:

First, disable Tobii Profile for ETS2!!

Then, change these lines in controls.sii, the line numbers may be different but look for: mix trackiron, mix trackiryaw, and mix trackirpitch and replace those lines with the following.

config_lines[145]: "mix trackiron `trackir.device.active?0`"
config_lines[146]: "mix trackiryaw `trackir.device.position.yaw?0`"
config_lines[147]: "mix trackirpitch `trackir.device.position.pitch?0`"

In 1.35 Experimental Beta I get 'missing device di8 {string}' notification on ATS/ETS2 for Tobii Eye Tracker 4C.

In config.cfg Tobii is set to '1' and TrackIR set to '0'.

Vjoy not installed as SCS states that it is needed only for 1.34 and lower
