3D Pit HUD Perspective Problem for A10 F15E and F18A using TrackIR
-
And joystick button 2 is assigned to which key?
And in track ir which key is for reset?sent from my mi5 using Tapatalk

Joystick 2 is not assigned. I use it for TrackIR only. Joystick 2 is set to Center, which also resets Center each time you press it. So I found that if I want to go heads down I tilt my head up a bit and Joystick 2/TrackIR Center and now I don’t get a strained neck pointing my head down and looking up with my eyes. Conversely, if I am going heads up I look down a bit and Joystick 2/Center and now I can scan the skies a lot easier (in fact this helps if you have TrackIR freezing and stuttering looking high especially on the 3-9 line.

F16 HUD representation in other aircraft might have something to do with it. Haven’t you got it yet…?

Haven’t I got what?

It’s an F-16 sim. Using F-16 avionics in other jets, compromises will have to be made, and if this is less than optimal for your viewing pleasure then that’s the way it is. I understand DCS do a pretty good A-10 and F-15…

I think I’ll be staying right here, thank you.
Let’s see if BMS agrees with you? So, why has BMS put so much effort into a sweet F18 model and pit and AV8 model and pit? Why go to all that trouble and then, unless I am mistaken, toot their own horns about the extensive work they have done on these models? They should be proud of that and the work they’ve done on the Tornado, F15E, A10A. I think also the Mirage. Yes, it’s primarily an F16 sim. I get that. But do you “get” that BMS is not one person, it’s a group and some members of that group are not solely focused on the F16. Some of them are working on other things.
I started this thread to ask for help with something that BMS implemented. This isn’t a mod, it’s BMS. If there’s a problem with the HUD not displaying right in these airframes because its an F16 engine and there’s no way to adjust it, I’ll say “Oh drat, well when you get time could you see if you could get that sorted please. Love your sim.” But I haven’t heard that, if you have heard that officially from BMS please let me know and direct me to the announcement please.

I have the same problem with the F-18 HUD.
I remember reading another thread about it awhile ago but IIRC there was no confirmation by the BMS team that they were working on it or not. I just do as suggested earlier, lean forward and recenter. Mirages are good though.
Be nice to have it fixed but low priority I imagine.

Thanks Sarge! I do mess with the leaning forward and back recentering. All the pits and huds are appreciated and usable, but I have this issue with some. I was just wondering if someone had a solution in either BMS config or TrackIR config. I think messing with TrackIR might work if you can have different profiles output different values based on the same input. I will definitely struggle with that if a tweak or workaround hasn’t already been invented. Thanks again.

I’ve read your reply, and acknowledge it. Forum rules prevent me from replying in the manner I would like to.
Please do however consider taking a history lesson in Falcon’s timeline sometime soon.

I’m not sure what you mean there Arty. It actually is a real pain the hind-end doing this recentering business and it can take several attempts to get something right. In my situation, like I said, I tend to like to recenter when I go heads up or heads down to reduce TrackIR freezing and pausing and also for physical comfort. Each time you do that in the F16, no worries. But in these other pits, you end up really fighting TrackIR, the pit, and not fighting bandits. So yeah, I can make do but looking for a better fix – I hope that makes sense and answers your question?

I assume that means you don’t feel like addressing my arguments (about BMS being a group, some of whom have put a lot of effort to make BMS more than just an F16 sim) directly and honestly and would rather attack me personally? Why? For having the unmitigated gall to come on a BMS forum and ask for help with a BMS implemented feature of a BMS product? If you want to curse at me or whatever for flying A10, F15E, and F18 in BMS, you can send me a PM and it will be just between us as far as I am concerned.
