I've only just picked up XP11 and am still finding my way, so apologies if this is a simple thing!

I use EdTracker, via OpenTrack, and the TrackIR protocol, for head tracking - and it works really well.

However I can't seem to adjust my view 'up' - which means that landing is difficult as I loose sight of the runway, especially in the last stages of landing.

The normal 'up arrow' adjustment doesn't seem to work when using head-tracking.

Is there a way to move my viewpoint 'up'?

Many thanks.

Henry

I've had to fiddle about as my version of OpenTrack (2.3.rc9) doesn't have that neat menu...

...but going into mappings and setting 'Y' to be just a flat line just little above zero, and then into the settings and mapping Y to Y, has me sorted.

It'd be better if the height of my head (Y) could be link to the pitch of my head, but I can't see an easy way of doing that.

Thanks!

I use Trackir too and I have the same problem with it disabling the arrow up key.

Adding the Y axis to trackir gives me movement up and down so I get higher in the cockpit but I turned it off as some times I tend to go out of the plane thru the top whenever I adjust my seating position.

Adjusting the movement of the Y axis in trackir would help but I can't be bothered fiddling with it.

Hi - thanks for that.

Although I use the trackIR protocol, the EdTracker itself doesn't has 6 degrees of movement - only roll, pitch and yaw, and not 'translation'.

I'll see what I can do in OpenTrack to set the Y translation 'up'!

Cheers.
