Read the paper…draw your own conclusion. I think I have work to do here still.
Do you know where to find the paper?
There was debate about putting this in. Well, that’s to say I didn’t think it was a good approach. Putting it in an setting the default to zero is harmless in the end though because it allows people to choose to use it if they really feel like it. My primary issue with it is that the scaling algorithm is based on scientific method research done with actual combat pilots…setting the threshold non-zero results in deviation from the carefully researched scaling factor. In other words the result it some scaling the effect of which is no longer realistic considering range and target size and human factors in perception.
But wouldn’t varying screen sizes and resolutions make that scientific research largely non-applicable anyway?
Someone there before you… this one should work for a couple of days:

Does anyone have CM Print V 4.50 Beta 1 ?
I would like to download it a CH Hangar,but,can’t register on there site…
A problem evidently on their end.dfang

I presume there is some way to do this in the real jet…perhaps with an FLCS RESET?..I’ll end up doing further research, but unless and until I can find a way it’s really done I’ll “cheat” it my way.
I was thinking that in real life maybe there’s never a benefit to centering it, as you’re never in perfectly stable conditions. Just a hypothesis…
I’ve learned the hard way to keep my thumb off of the CMS switch - I find it far too easy to inadvertently actuate the switch (especially on my Cougar; Ive programmed a slight delay into that one to make it react only to a positive actuation) and waste chaff or flare. What I use to center trim is the red button on the side of the stick - that’s the NWS button. Double-click that with my index finger and I’m trim-centered; double CMS ->down and the hat is trim, CMS -> down for greater than 0.5 sec returns to POV control.
Oh I see - it’s two separate actions, not a press-while-hold thing. Might try that myself.
One thing I may retain is double-click of my NWS/WPN STEP button to center my trims…“cheating”, but I do like that one,
I noticed the real thing doesn’t have the center option - presumably in real life there’s always something causing the plane to not quite fly straight and level, unlike the sim.
Since I’m using a Warthog stick I generally like to use CMS->down as my shift key.
Not sure I understand - how do you trim if your thumb’s on CMS already?
Since you mention infantry, if the target happens to be AK47, SA7 etc., I’m not sure if they show up on radar. Maybe someone can clarify.
@Smokin:
entice my ground units to advance?
Right-click them, uncheck ‘set by hq’, double-click them and drag the waypoint to an objective. Can also then right-click them, scroll down and check the action is set to ‘capture’.
@Smokin:
know after the fact if I won or lost a campaign?
Check your log book which might say something like 1 / 0 / 0 under campaigns. That said in your situation it’s shown a win for me when really it was a stalemate.
1. Pylons, adapters, launchers, tanks, etc. add small amounts of DI each, single to small double digits DI. A fairly slick post-attack DI might be as low as 50 but often 100 or a touch more. I’d have to run a few but 50% of the loaded DI is probably a good rule of thumb. 380-400KCAS up to M0.82-0.84 should do.
Thanks, I’ve been assuming 100, so sounds like I’m in the right ball park at least.
Home profile should understand your DI based on SMS and reinforce a particular speed.
Ah - I didn’t consider that.
2. which is not including any allowances for climb or dive at all.
Good to know, I did wonder why it would tell me to decrease my altitude if I’m high.
Yes - I currently use the POV hat (and prefer that for desk flying) and use a shift-key setup to switch the hat between POV and trim…which really screws me up when I get into a situation where I am flying a sim or trainer with a full visual system where the hat is for trim only and I can move my head to look - this is why I am so keyed on effects of muscle memory/training.
I also have shifted trim (and shifted DMS as I use that hat for padlock views). Though I don’t use physical sims, getting rid of the shifted stuff is one reason I’d like head tracking to work out for me.
I am building a full Viper pit, and what I want to do is build a 270 degree wrapping projection screen - 270 degrees should be sufficient based on how far I can move my head, and how fast the nose of the jet can be brought around in relation to where I can look. And I want my screen to run floor to ceiling…in which case restricting the EDTraker to vertical axis only should provide me more up look through my lift line while maintaining more natural head motion in most cases.
That setup sounds ideal - have you ruled out used a hat for up/down?
Two questions:
1. How much drag do pylons and ejector racks have? i.e. after I drop my weapons how much does my DI reduce by (so that I can calculate my best climb speed for the journey home)?
(edit: I suppose I can probably calculate this to a certain extent by seeing how the drag values differ for 0, 1, 2, and 3 bombs per station).
2. Why does Crus often suggest 34k ft or so? Feels like climbing as high as I can go uses less fuel. Is it something to do with running out of stratosphere, or perhaps does the climb use too much fuel?
TrackIR may, at least partially, address your objections in that the software axes can be adjusted to provide a custom dead zone, as well as varying sensitivity throughout the range. I am not at all familiar with EDTracker.
I tried fiddling with similar settings that EDTracker has, but I think (with the EDTracker at least) they could be more sophisticated. Maybe it could adjust sensitivity and create deadzones on the fly, e.g. if I look to one side and hold my head there, it could temporarily reduce sensitivity and/or create a temporary deadzone at that point.
For the investment involved you could do much worse than try out FacetrackNoIR using the Delanclip if you already have a webcam, otherwise I’d suggest a used ps3 eyecam from ebay and a little sttip of exposed film serving as an infrared filter.
If there’s reason to believe it works better than an EDTracker I could try it. Maybe I want some sort of hypothetical industrial strength tracker.
My plan is to use EDTracker in single axis only mode - the vertical axis - once I get my pit and visual system built. The only concern I have for doing my setup is being able to look up through my lift line, and I’ll be limited in how much vertical thow I can get with a projector…so I’ll use EDTracker for that and build a profile specifically for that. Other than that I can’t think of any case where I might actually like one.
Sounds like an interesting project. Do you currently use a POV hat in preference to a tracking device?
I have both. And there’s no real difference in motion feeling.
You get more axis with the TIR, but I’d venture having more axis would make one even more uncomfortable if the matter lies in motion sickness.
I think you’re right, though for me it’s more having to worry how my head is positioned than motion sickness. I actually disabled one of the axes on the EDTracker already, but kind of feel it would be better if I disabled them all!
…if it’s that you can’t get past re-calibrating your neck muscles/movements, then no - you will not like TIR either.
Thanks - I think I could get used to it, but after several hours if I go back to using a POV hat it just seems so much less hassle.
What is it you hate about the edtracker?
if it’s motion sickness, then I suspect TIR will be the same.
No haven’t had any motion sickness fortunately. Mostly I don’t like that it demands you keep your head in a certain position (though I suppose that goes with the territory) for instance I can’t lean back in my chair without the view changing.
Also I find - depending on what I’m doing and where I’m looking - I sometimes want it to be sensitive, and other times I want it to be less so, but it doesn’t seem to offer any way of doing that, or at least if it does it’s not sophisticated enough.
I just wondered about TrackIR as it seems 90% of people here use it and think it’s great. I thought maybe it could be better than I imagine it to be.
…will I like a TrackIR?
I’m assuming not, but does anybody have experience of both and much prefer the latter?
It would only take 3-4 minutes to put a banner on the forum, surely…
