EDTracker + Opentrack

[Dott. IUDELLI]

Hi all, bought 2 days ago that little gem on GOG, I'm facing a couple of issues regarding TrackIR emulation, I got an EDTracker that works perfectly on every flight sim (Il2 Sturmovik etc...) coupled with OpenTrack to emulate Freetrack protocol. I manually mapped the X and Y axis in game on my EDtracker device but I getting this strange jittering when moving head around. Could you please investigate? Cheers

I'm subscribing to this thread. I've made one myself and also got the same problem. Though i didn't use Freetrack since the game can recognize the X and Y axis right away but the jitter is still there.

I don't know how Edtracker works, I'm a Freetrack user. I don't know how you managed to map the headtrack on the View Padlock axis, but I didn't set anything on these axes and the freetrack in the game works. It's twice as sensitive as in other games, I had to create a separate profile for this game, but it goes beautifully smoothly. Personally, I think the problem is that you have set the freetrack on the view padlock axis, and now the two inputs overlap and influence each other. So try deleting the settings from View Padlock and go into the game to see if it works smoothly?

EDTracker is just a 3Dof accelerometer, nothing else, is recognized as a joystick in Windows. So the game should recognize any Freetrack input even when nothing is mapped/binded on game Axis settings? I'll try this evening, thank you

Please let me know if it works as well.
I also tried with the old demo on Kickstarter. It works perfectly, it does show way less jitter than what i see in the released game. and when in flight it's barely noticable, as i can still track targets perfectly.

Unfortunately the demo is not working on my rig, I only get black screen, no response in task manager so I can't check if it works. Tried again with bingbean advices: clearing the axes mapping from View Padlock , started game: no head tracking. Clearing the mouse axes: no head tracking. I really don't know how the game recognizes freetrack input.
If anybody can reproduce this issue there are my settings: EDTracker with linear response, View scaling 3.00, Smoothing 9. Coupled with Opentrack 2.3.12: Input: Joystick input (EDTracker as device) output freetrack 2.0 enhanced.

It's not a matter of life or death as I'm currently using the little joystick on my TWCS Throttle. Please let me know.

Cheers

This may seem like a really stupid question, but do you have headtracking enabled in the gameplay options menu (it was missing before the last patch)?

[Dott. IUDELLI]

Updated to latest version (I was still on 1.0.3), enabled Headtracking and everything works flawless, thank you so much!

Did u do anything more than update? I have an edtracker aswell and experience this weird stuttering. In DCS it works perfectly
