Anyone tested leap Motion with BMS?
-
I got mine today. Just a real limited time so far.
Good- Tracks nicely, FUN, reminds a lot of the original TrackIR in that you see how much potential it has once the software and maybe another generation of hardware has improved (the TrackIR has came a loooonnnngggg way guys)
Bad- having a hard time clicking with Airkey, but also trying to use it left handed.
Ugly- Had two BSODs, one in Airkey while in Falcon, one playing Dropchord
-
wow no bsod here. yea me to wonder how will it be left handed usage.
About click change it. I believe the alternative having the thumb connected to palm and extending it to click must be way better then the gun trick - trigger. -
@arty - right click on a touch screen is press and hold with first finger, tap with second.

Yep - I’m trying to train left handed as thats my mouse hand - make sure you set the xml file to true in the correct place for left hand support - something I forgot
No BSODs but the service wont auto start - have to start it manually.
Tried Touchless which isnt great - then GAMEWAVE also- which is accurate but seems inadequate with the current control setup for Falcon / DCS pits
-
I believe I set it up to be left handed in the .xml using the GUI, but maybe not. Again didn’t get much time with it. Probably tonight.
-
Update: Still getting BSODs, although haven’t had anymore in AirKey+Falcon yet, BUT upgrading to .4 (which is now out!) caused me to lose mouse clicks in the 3d world and going back to .3 didn’t solve the problem. I am getting pretty natural at Airkey in Windows and the Falcon UI, I just wish I could figure out how to get it to double click. I wish I could make it further in Dropchord, it’s pretty fun for about the 2 levels Ican get through before BSOD.

Snake122 what is the stop message in the BSOD? look it up in microsoft Technet, it will tell u what the problem is.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 101
BCP1: 0000000000000031
BCP2: 0000000000000000

Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 256_1Not sure which info to put where on technet, it’s really the first time I’ve had a BSOD with Win7.
-
The BCCode is the Stop code I believe.
-
Yeah that would sound right, the text on BSOD said that it was a CPU core timeout now that I read that. So it’s another hardware problem that the LeapMotion is exacerbating?
-
There is an article about BSODs being generated by USB debug cables with this stop code. I’m wondering if the Leap device is sending some non-kosher signals back.
And then there’s this:
b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
Pretty sure it’s the Leap’s fault if your rig is otherwise stable.

Well guys I’m back from vacations and just gave a try the new Airkey 0.6b.
I also customized it with the new gui program. Basic customization, sensitivity, left hand and left/right mouse click… nothing else.
Now I have it only Left Handed and switched the click function. Instead of doing the trigger thing I have the thumb on the palm and when I extent it it clicks. It’s way more stable.
I must figure out some more gestures like the Alt+I for the cutoff and the mouse wheel up/down (damn now it hit me… lol it has a rotate cw/ccw lol ).
I’m uploading a new video. This is the actual third time I’m using leapmotion on BMS. Second time left handed… I thought it would be impossible as I’m right handed… but I fount it way easy. What I must get used is to have my hand in the scope of the sensor… and also maybe alter the sensor position and put it in an angle like 30-40 degrees and have my palm not parallel to the desk but vertical… some guys say it works better and faster.
Lets hope soon enough the dev will implement the auto hand switch or have a gesture to do so… He said he will, so future will be better.
The vid needs 200 minutes to upload… will post it ASAP.
-
ok here it is…
-
I think this is great. You can’t compare it directly to a mouse, which has been refined for 30 years. This will surely become better very quickly. I still can’t stand touch screens at all and would much prefer this kind of system.
-
My BSODs may be solved, I’ve got some good help over at their forums. I switched to the Catalyst 13.8 Beta drivers and now Dropchord is much more stable but haven’t been to update Airkey and try it out in Falcon.
I could see myself using Airkey in Windows near full time with the addition of the double click.
-
hmmm version 0.8 of Airkey is out…
those guys are way fast and good…v0.8:
Touchscreen mode - make any surface into a touchscreen. Details can be found in the link above.
Changes in the way the pointing finger is stored, should be more robust.
Start menu not movable any more.
Hand detection/gestures only in the center of the field of view of the Leap (InteractionBox).And two videos… first the gestures:
Second the table-tablet mode:
-
And the dev says this also should work:
Just WOW…
-
Wonder what it would do if you sneeze violently while gesturing
Warning. Warning.

Well Arty, I’ve experimented with putting a Logitech trackpad next to my throttle, but after seeing this, you’ve got me convinced it’s the best thing to happen to flight simming since TrackIR… therefore, I’m ordering it. Thought I’d put it off a few weeks but I can’t stand the waiting after just a few hours!
Are there any config files or such that would help, or will it be easy to set up?
-
I can’t seem to find any documentation… Having a hard time. Anyone have any tips or profiles? Thanks.
