How does one (if at all possible) limit the amount of "x,y,z" movement inside the cockpit? Currently I can only play by disabling the x y z translational movement. And I really want to use it for hovering Otherwise freetrack is a beautiful gem, thanks to all involved in the project. God bless. Edited by daydreamer on 21/10/2008 at 19h21.

Class : Webmaster (admin) Posts : 1043 Registered on : 09/07/2007 Off line Www	No, there is a bug in FreeTrack which only occurs with FSX. A patch for FreeTrack will be released to correct the problem your fighting with. Rémy

I am eagerly anticipating panning, tilting, and changing eye position with head motion- but I'm wondering if zooming manually might be more comfortable: I happen to be a pilot IRL, and I don't normally shuckle much, while flying real planes. From what I've learned so far (strictly vicariously here, and watching youtube videos) I'm wondering if using a handy slider to do the zooming (the x-52 has a gazillion wheels and sliders) would be better for the zooming bit, instead of rocking back and forth. I'm wondering what any VR aviators here think. Edited by Padesatka on 26/12/2008 at 03h36.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 26/12/2008 Off line	Well, my post above was just ignorant (didn't have all my hardware working right when I wrote it). Now that I'm wiii-lly using FreeTrack with FSX, I use all 6dof a lot, and it's very intuitive. In the best virtual cockpits, I poke a lot of switches by leaning into them and using the mouse on my x52(pro) throttle. I may need to strap in a little tighter in the real planes, to keep my FT/FSX habits from creeping into my real-world flying! I am convinced that using FreeTrack really does effectively reinforce what I'm always telling my flying students: Keep Your Head On A Swivel. Edited by Padesatka on 31/12/2008 at 07h10.
