Same here Garry! Loving Chase Plane but it would be so much better with Trackhat/opentrack support.

+1 i thought when it supports trackir it also supports trackhat.

You have to install TrackIR and run it in the background for it to work.

As simple as that!

TrackIR serves as a detection hook for TrackHat and will not detect any devices. TrackHat is where the action is.

the only way i get trackhat working is to disable chase plane?

[Keven Menard 658]

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,

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

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

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).

followed your guide but no luck, both versions work if i disable chase plane.

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!

The latest Chaseplane version allows using the Trackhat, but you need to install Opentrack  (not via the Trackhat download). Enjoy!
