i’m older - cant sit still long enough for a complete flight… end up recentering about every 10 mins or so…

RE: Cockpit higher seat
We are talking about view. Your example is about flight.
my example is about a control input
tir is effectively a 6 axis analoge controler ( digitised ) giving values between -16383 and +16383 recentering resets output to 0
tilting your head back is the equivalent of pulling stick back
so pull your stick back to calibrate zero position - let it go to its sprung central to fly normally -
RE: Cockpit higher seat
Yep, and? Sorry I don’t understand the problem. Everything is normal here. Sometimes I center the TIR when my head is a little bit offset, then the guncross can be out of refletive area of the HUD.
in order to get your prefered view ( as shown in the screenie) you look up a ‘virtual’ 6 degrees and recenter your tir then relax to your normal head position. not easily repeatable with agressive tir response curve
what i would like to see implemented is an offset applied to the tir pitch input such that the “recentered” view is more repeatable

HI Amraam - long time no chat….
look again at the guncross when you recenter TIR - it centralises the guncross — center screen in your screenshot is about 6degrees lower than guncross closer to centre of the hud circle

RE: Cockpit higher seat
Dee-Jay - in BOTH vids - you demonstrate my point…
first video - apart from about 30 seconds ( out of 7mins 19 sec) you were looking down enough to put the gun cross in the top 1/3 to 1/4 of the screen
second vid - again most of the time when hud central - you had the gun cross in the top 1/3 of screen
in both - most of the time top of mfds visible
if users had to " hold your stick slightly forwards whilst you calibrate" in order to fly level with no stick input ( and no way of trimming) there would be complaints (yes i know conventional not relevant to f16…)

RE: Cockpit higher seat
I mean how can i fix without TrackIR few cm higher seat???
Viper -sorry for stealing your thread…
there is no way ( in any version of F4 ) of changing pilot head/eye position other than Trackir or other head tracking software/hardware -
RE: Cockpit higher seat
how much time do you spend looking only ABOVE the canopy frame during a flight?
pilots ???if you run multiple displays - extracted instruments ( home pits ) then i agree the tir centering as it stands is great - if however you are limited to 1 monitor and using the mouse on switches in the 3dpit then being able to offset the ‘center’ pitch position it would enable use of less agressive portions of profile curve where u need most stability - in the pit for actuating switches etc
been using tir4/trackclippro and Cougar since bms 2 days….

RE: Cockpit higher seat
oh by the way - love the shots - jealous as hell though….
and yet your centre of view is through the lower 1/2 of the hud display - not the gun cross… rwr and backup ADI visible -
RE: Cockpit higher seat
default view on entering pit WITHOUT track IR
recentered view WITH tir
Note location of the top of hud in both your pics guys - as oposed to the top of the hud in the ‘recentered’ pit screenie

RE: Cockpit higher seat
Ok so it’s not a general issue but a personal one. This doesn’t mean it’s wrong and BMS should change something.
Adding some kind of an option for personal needs it’s another thing..
you are missing the point Arty
its on the same lines as g_fDefaultFOV, why have a setable field of view, why use mousewheel zoom, why be able to create calibration curves for your joystick and even tir…
its to make users pit experience less frustrating more enjoyable
get a coder to look at sim\siminput\trackir.ccp and consider adding a simple offset to
*pitch = tid.fNPPitch / 16383.f * PI;
