Help with TrackIR and X-Camera plugin in XPX 10.42

Featured Replies

I downloaded the latest TrackIR software and the X-Camera plugin detects it ingame. But when I press "enable", the camera just changes a bit to the right, sometimes at a different angle but usually the camera just get stuck in one position and doesn't register any head movements- 

 

Both sensors are activated, as seen by the lights. It works fine in P3D with EZdok. Any ideas?

I downloaded the latest Any ideas?

 

I dont know  why  but I had to install pilotview plugin to get it to work ????

i7 4777k 4.6mhz, 32gddr3, GTX 760 4g sci ,Saitek x52,yoke and quadrant, 60 Led . SSD

 

When I first load xplane I have to disable X-Camera then reactivate it in the plugins menu. Also in your settings / joystick & Equipment / equipment / make sure track-ir when in 3D cockpit view is not enabled.  

 

If you are new to X-camera I suggest you watch these tutorials.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaCM3gYU35I

I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

Windows 11 Pro loaded on a 4TB Gen5 Crucial T700 SSD, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD, Ryzen 9 7950x3d, AS Rock X670e Taichi Motherboard, Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4090 OC 24GB, 64GB (2x32GB) Viper Venom  DDR5-6000MT/s, MSI 32" MAG 321UPX QD-OLED 260hz 4K Gaming Monitor.

 

 

You have to enable the TrackIR on a per view basis , there is a checkbox in the control panel. By default it is turned off. You have to also make sure you save it. There are cameras created for each aircraft so you will have to enable/disable for each aircraft as well.

Pete Richards answer is the way mine works all the time perfectly.

Thanks for the response! Will try immediately when I arrive home from work  :wink: Can't live without TrackIR.

 

I'm absolutely new to X-Plane so there's a lot to take in. My initial impression, however, is that the night environment feeling beats Prepar3D's a**  :lol:

I think it's covered above, but a step by step:

 

1.  Uncheck the TrackIR block in the settings menu.

2.  Restart XPX

3.  Enable X-Camera

4.  Open the control panel for X-Camera

5.  Check the top option block - Something like enable Track-IR.

6.  If not exactly where you want your viewpoint, move to that point and click save all (it is in the bottom right).

7.  For additional view points, click on "Add" (Just to the right of one initially named "Pilot View") and move to a new point and set things as you like them and rename Pilot View to
"overhead" or whatever and save that setting before moving to another view.

 

You have to enable TrackIR on each camera view, or it will not work.  It's set this way so that you can have some views (say when you are looking at the MCDU) it won't move around as your head moves - allowing more precise control.  Just be sure to click for the next camera before moving your view or it will overwrite the previous setting.  You can also "Add" to the left window - creating passenger cabin views, outside views, or whatever.

Hi again,

 

this worked great on my last install. Now, on a new fresh install it doesnt work. I tried starting TrackIR before and after staring X-Plane but no change. Disabling and reactivating X-Camera from the plugin menu doesnt work either. Track IR box is ticked yes.

 

Any suggestions? Works fine with P3D.
