How to get Track IR working in the game

[jdharp]

I have Track IR with hat clip that seems to be working in the Track IR software with the tracker set up on the center of my 3 monitors.
Question is how do you get it to function in the game for the look left right and up down
functions ?

In this U-tube video, he set up in his game A10 what he wanted his Track IR to do. Track IR was showing as one of the controls he could map. I don't see that in Truck Simulator. Controls are showing as the Wheel I have plus keyboard. Thinking I need to be able to add Track IR as a control, but don't see how to do that.

I thought it would automatically start as had this on another PC some time ago, but nothing happens this time

Make sure you have updated the TrackIR software. There should be a little tab on the top of the TrackIR screen that says Game Updates.

Also (duh) make certain your TrackIR is working.

Beyond that, ATS automagically recognizes TIR. There was a while ago an update in ATS that broke TrackIR and you had to go into an .ini to fix it, but I am pretty sure that issue was fixed in a subsequent patch. May TIR works fine in the game, so yours should work as well. There is no switch in the game menu to make TIR work, but there is one in the.ini file. It should already be on, though.

For unknown reasons, Track IR all of a sudden starting working in the game. Thanks for the suggestions

Maybe you are playing in a bright room?

In the config file is the trackir paramerter set to "1"?

As Twelvefield suggested, a bright light shining into the camera will 'blind' TrackIR, especially with the hat clip.

There isnt a light issue its one of the codes in the game files that is changing for unknown reasons. Amongst the many new issues I have with steam... My hattrack pro just stopped functioning. I was playing along fine. And all of a sudden the game comes to a screetching hault and crashed. Kept crashing everytime I tried to restart. So I ended up taking 1 mod out. And the game started to play again but no headtracking whatsoever. Uninstalled then reinstalled both game and drivers. Still nothing. Program is reading the headtracking but not transfering to in game play. Going to make a final attempt @ starting a new career.. again... To see if this solves the issue and it randomly starts working again like buddy mentioned his did before. Ok well this did not work. So I have yet another problem with steam and its ATS issues. They have really been mucking up with ATS lately I wonder if they are loosing funding or something to maintain this specific game and its necessities. Im not sure if ets is suffering from this issue or not... But the more I keep trying to play and support valve the more issues Im running into.

Also tried updating to a beta... Attempting to maybe fix corrupted files or something...still no bueno... Fake cloud servers and now randomly malfunctioning major titles... Youre losing really fast Valve

Post a gamelog at pastebin.com and share the link, we may be able to spot something. The more I play this game, the less mods I use...there are still some solid go to ones but so many crap ones put out lately that cause conflicts/issues.

Well Ive got an update boys. I figured it out. There is defenitely some code that is getting rewritten. And I used cheat engine to find it. Used it to revert all the codes back to what I believe the original writting was and Im golden. Whatever is getting changed not only saved to the hard code of the game but saves to the actual save file also wich is why things are still jumbled even after you try to start over... Im not sure if this works on already existing profiles as i got frustrated and started 5 new profiles before I nicked it. Head tracking is back and somewhat less laggy. Starting @ level 0 agaaaiiiin but hey sacrifices... If anyone can get this to work with an already existing profile youre a geniuos. If not just use cheat engine as if you where actually cheating.. may take a few times to find the faulty code but its doable. Oh also just as a hint. The code fault is a direct link to whatever truck you where driving @ the time of malfunction so in a new account without finding the faulty code... The other truck will somewhat still function with the head tracking. Just not the type of truck you were originally driving. Not sure how much that hepls but its just a tid bit that I noticed as I was contemplating throwing my pc out of the window. Haha
