Is there a way to stop TrackIR snap back to the default straight ahead position after a few seconds in disabled mode?

Any other tips and ideas for TrackIR? Unfortunately there is no simple binding for default VC view in MSF2020. It used to be F9 I think in the previous iterations. i bound F9 to TIR Center.   

Thanks.

I have not found any solution to the snap back issue. I did not file a report as I found a workaround that suits me.

You can save "custom" views in the VC (much like their instrument views), even the default view.

I save the "static" custom view that i want to glance at in VC without head movement (like instruments), when selecting that view, I have Trackir "reset" and then immediate "disable" actions bound to the same button on my joystick...when I switch to that view, I hit the (reset, then disable) button that locks the "straight ahead" look for that view, eliminating any snap back a few seconds later.

This only works for custom views where I want no head movement, this does not work for "disabling" Trackir on the fly.

Yes, I thought about that already, quite clumsy but there's no other way.

Thanks!

Also when switching to saved custom views the sim should disable TrackIR internally, like EZCA or X-Camera can do that. 

Also I don't like that your custom camera returns to the default straight view if you call it 2 times.

I've logged a ticket with NaturalPoint.  It detracts a fair bit from the usefulness of TrackIR.

I would also prefer if TrackIR input is automatically disabled whenever I switch to the drone camera.

Try this
