Hello fellow RoF’ers, does anyone run the above combo?
With WinXP I had TrackIR nicely setup, smooth and just right for me. Since upgrading to Win7 i’m getting the stutters that I’ve seen mentioned by other users on other forums. It’s not the game stuttering as all is smooth when looking in one direction but when panning with TrackIR it’s a bit jerky.
I’m using TrackIR Pro 3 with the latest 4.1.037. I’ve read that it could be a combined TrackIR/MSFFB issue but I’m loathe to lose my FFB stick.
Hopefully the v5.1 TrackIR s/w will solve the issue.
Anyone here with similar specs and not having the issue?
Regards,
WB.
Thanks Ming.
I’ve had partial success also thanks to a suggestion on the RoF Forum. I’ve deselected vSync from the game settings but selected it with the Nvidia control panel. Not fixed but an improvement nevertheless.

If you’ve enabled vsync WB you may want to look at enabling triple-buffering from the NV panel or via a utility like RivaTuner or perhaps nHancer

That’s all done Ming. Looks like it’s definately a FFB issue. With FFB disabled all was OK again. Actually, I should say it looks like it’s more of a Win7 issue. FFB and TrackIR worked perfectly well together under WinXP, it was only when I introduced Win7 that the problem started.
Oh well, hopefully 1.09 will solve the issue.
Cheers,
WB.
BTW, thanks for the link Ming, that was interesting reading. Does RoF use D3D or OpenGL do you know?
WB.
D3D I think WB but I’m not sure as it’s their own engine (‘NaturalSomethingOrOther Game Engine’)
Hmm it’s got shaders so heavily leaning towards D3D
Looks like it’s definately a FFB issue
They were looking at stick inputs too many times/second and that’s tweaked, yesterday I had my first completely satisfactory (and wonderful) flight with TIR and FF both working well. Mind you I’ve disabled roll and XYZ in TIR since yesterday, going commando, that’s dramatically improved things- I’ve been very unhappy with 6DOF. But I was too polite to vote as it’s probably an individual Ming-cackhandedness thang

I found 6DoF in the beta and release versions was a PITA to set up and I had to heavily modify my existing 6DoF profile to get it working satisfactorily. Now I can use my standard 6DoF profile and I find it works really well.
I can send you my profile if you like? Its for TrackIR 3 pro, so I’m not sure if they use the same file format for v4 or 5? Let me know anyway if you want to give it a try.
Cheers,
WB.
Thanks WB. I’m ok though now as I have (famous last words, last time I looked) a stable TIR system that works like Il-2, so I can add XY etc back in to see which bit causes trouble. I must have up-and-down of course for the Dolphin. Peep-oh and btw where’s me roll-bar

I’ve gone back to XP (see my rant elswhere :)) and interestingly I can run Trackir and FFB without issue. I’m getting good steady FPS (around 50) with only noticeable slow downs over the front - lots of smoke and explosions etc.
Go figure!
WB.
