I’m really starting to like the F-86, just have to remember how to and to change my loadout.

Tried 1.5.4 beta a little yesterday before flying on OD’s server, can’t say I noticed any huge difference, biggest thing was that I can’t look behind properly in it. If I look as far back as I can and zoom in, I can only see as far back as the wingtip on the F-86. Probably correct if you’re strapped down tight in your seat, but felt a bit weird.

No problem

There is a thread about Track IR issues with the beta here
http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169026
It’s got to quite a few pages, and I’ve only just started reading it, so not seen a fix yet. I’ll let you know what I find. Some people are reporting it with the Vive and OR too, but I’ve not had a problem. I can say that it is hard to look much further back using OR.

I think the beta is aimed at more background stuff and VR support. The mission editor gets a lot of work, but I’ve not tried it out yet. I think they’re trying to get it up to date more than anything. There have been updates to some of the flight models, but I don’t think the F-86 was one of them as I think it’s finished now

Here’s the fix

SkateZilla:

Updates to head tracking functions/features…

Eitherway, the issue isnt the controller itself,

But the Workaround to use the old controller works for me:

Opening:
/DCS WORLD/CONFIG/INPUT/AIRCRAFTS/DEFAULT/trackir/default.lua

and Changing it to the following Resolves the trackir having an offset:

return {
axisCommands = {
-- TrackIR axes
{combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_PITCH'}},	action = iCommandViewVerticalAbs	, name = _('Absolute Camera Vertical View')},
{combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_YAW'}},  	action = iCommandViewHorizontalAbs		, name = _('Absolute Camera Horizontal View')},
{combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_ROLL'}}, 	action = iCommandViewRollAbs		, name = _('Absolute Roll Shift Camera View')},

{combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_X'}}, 		action = iCommandViewHorTransAbs		, name = _('Absolute Horizontal Shift Camera View')},
{combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_Y'}}, 		action = iCommandViewVertTransAbs		, name = _('Absolute Vertical Shift Camera View')},
{combos = {{key = 'TRACKIR_Z'}}, 		action = iCommandViewLongitudeTransAbs		, name = _('Absolute Longitude Shift Camera View')},
{combos = nil, 	action = iCommandViewZoomAbs			, name = _('Zoom View')},
},
}
