Head tracking - Roll Axis

[LeadGhosT]

Hi everyone! It is possible to enable somehow roll axis while using head tracking like TrackIR? With VR headset everything is working properlly. It's really strange feeling to be not able roll your head in game :x
Anyway thanks for help :)

if you want to use VR then you need to use the Oculus/Vive beta branch of the game. Look in the betas tab to get it.

Still, with this version of the game can't use roll axis with my TrackIR setup. It is even possible in this game?

Isn't that a TIR function, not a game function? I haven't tried it, but I thought roll axis was just something you selected in the TIR profile?

No. The roll axis simply isn't taken by the game, though it's provided by the TrackIR/FaceTrackNoIR/FreeTrack/TrackHat software. Other games, e.g. Train Simulator take it out of the box without need for enabling anything.

Yeah and that's a problem. Maybe there is a way to run it in some kind of fake-VR emulator and use trackir as a controller?

and why you want head roll for in ets2? it doesn't have a use in truck sims.

It has - trust me :P Other thing is just that weird feeling when u can't move your head like you do irl. I'm using head tracking since this game was relesed and sadly nothing changed at all about this feature. Maybe someday... :/
P.S Look at this (yt link /watch?v=O8q-04z0M58) - it feels very natural (imersive) not like in ETS when your head is acting like a camera on a stick. We need movement that is similiar to VR not a extended mouse steering...

While it is not available in ui, you can enable roll from the trackir by editing the controls.sii file for your profile and change constant c_ht_roll 0.000000 to constant c_ht_roll 1.000000

Thank you so much! Been using TrackIR since a few months now and have always wondered why roll movement was disabled in both Sims. Not just now I know why, but also I could finally enable it in every profile (either ETS2 either ATS) I have! This changes everything, in my opinion!! So, thanks again!
