February 14, 20179 yr Hi Keven any more news about Track hat compatibility... Loving Chase plane but missing not being able to use trackhat properly Regards Garry
February 14, 20179 yr Same here Garry! Loving Chase Plane but it would be so much better with Trackhat/opentrack support.
February 14, 20179 yr +1 i thought when it supports trackir it also supports trackhat. C. W. ,Ryzen 9 5950X @H2O , 32 GB RAM DDR4 3600 Mhz CL15 , Corsair MP600 Pro Watercooled 2 TB for P3D, Samsung SSD980 1 TB for Addons and Crucial MMX500, Red Devil Ultimate 6900 XT
February 15, 20179 yr Commercial Member You have to install TrackIR and run it in the background for it to work. As simple as that! Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
February 15, 20179 yr Author Tried That Keven but wont work with trackhat ? trackir checked in chase plane..no options in trackir no device detected regards Garry
February 15, 20179 yr Commercial Member TrackIR serves as a detection hook for TrackHat and will not detect any devices. TrackHat is where the action is. Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
February 15, 20179 yr Commercial Member 1: Install TrackIR (Don't run it) 2: Run ChasePlane 3: Run TrackHat 4: Run TrackIR ChasePlane has to be Enabled during and after this process Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
February 15, 20179 yr Author thanks Keven,just tied your method but no joy camera switches to a funny view? also noticed presets outside work fine but inside is messed up Thanks Garry
February 15, 20179 yr Keven, Brilliant!! It worked!! Thank you - Chase Plane is just about perfect with Trackir/opentrack now working. I don't know if it will help anyone else but here's what I did (I'm using opentrack with a custom built head tracking clip - just like Trackhat). 1. Downloaded TrackIR v5 2. Started TrackIr (minimised to Task Bar) 3. Started Opentrack (Under "Game Detection" Executable = ChasePlane.exe / Profile = FSFX.ini) 4. In my case started Prepar3d (Chase Plane is primed to start with Prepar3d, which in turn is primed to start FSFX.ini) I hope this helps and isn't too confusing! Thanks once again Keven
February 16, 20179 yr Author hi breid thanks but could you elaborate on the profile bit as if i click the profile tab in open track it only shows my two profiles i use for trackhat. thanks Garry
February 16, 20179 yr Hi Garry, Click on the arrow to the left of the word "Profile" on the main Opentrack screen, then choose from the drop-down menu "Create new copied config" and for the "New File Name" type "FSFX.ini". Then click on "Options" (again on the main opentrack screen) then choose "Game Detection" and add (+ sign) a new entry and under Executable type "ChasePlane.exe" and under Profile type "FSFX.ini". Hope this helps. I know that the version of Opentrack used with Trackhat has been specifically adapted/modified by the developer and is a bit different to the "normal" version but if you have any further probs, I'll try to help (though I'm by no means an expert).
February 16, 20179 yr Author hey thanks for your help tried everything so far but cant get any software ver trackhats or open track followed your guide but no luck, both versions work if i disable chase plane. maybe you could help me using teamviewer sometime. Cheers Garry
February 23, 20179 yr Good evening, I'm using Trackhat with Opentrack and a PS3 cam. Can anyone confirm that they have managed to get it to work with Chaseplane, other then to use the Globally enable switch to toggle between Chaseplane and Opentrack? Cheers!
March 16, 20179 yr The latest Chaseplane version allows using the Trackhat, but you need to install Opentrack (not via the Trackhat download). Enjoy!
