November 2, 20169 yr Hi Everyone,Here's a workaround to be able to use Track IR AND Chaseplane. This is not a fix or feature update to chaseplane and will result in not having chaseplane camera effects whilst using Track IR but it will enable you to use both side-by-side smoothly. 1. Firstly run TrackIR prior to launching P3D. 2. Once in the sim it'll be jittery as TrackIR & Chaseplane will be fighting for control so with Chaseplane main UI then go to Preferences > Control Bindings and under 'Global Enable' key use the same joystick button you use for 'pause' in Track IR. That's it - now you just have to press that joystick button to switch between Chaseplane camera views and Track IR on the fly... Next time you start your sim then start Track IR first and ensure it is 'paused' with the button prior to opening P3D and Chaseplane and that way it'll be a smooth experience from the start. Best,Ryan
November 2, 20169 yr Perfect, thanks for this find. Like this, TIR users can already use Chaseplane until they implement a proper "fix" or forever, if it is handy enough. Exactly what I was hoping for. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
November 2, 20169 yr Author Good Stuff - it's certainly not the perfect solution but works cleanly and at least gives somewhat ability to use TrackIR along with the great new views and functionality of CP. Using it just now on my first proper flight and used Track IR whilst taxi'ing and switched back and forth without issue
November 2, 20169 yr Nice find but far from perfect. I am thinking about getting Chase Plane mainly for the motion effects and for smooth transitions of views in the VC. The idea of having to disable TrackIR and hence enable Chase Plan just to switch a view isn't very appealing. :wink:
November 2, 20169 yr For the time being, this works for me. I use set views for cockpit setup and adjusting instruments and TrackIR for "everything else", such as situational awareness during landings. This work around is acceptable while waiting for full TrackIR integration, which is coming and has even been pushed up on the list of planned improvements and feature additions. The more I use ChasePlane, the more impressed I am....it's leagues beyond any competition in terms of options and ease of use. Wayne KlocknerUnited Virtual

Glad to hear that it is helping just now until the full integration of which I am certain Keven has given some priority to. Anyway now to go get some fuel and fly again! So addictive panning around every fine detail of our aircraft now!

November 4, 20169 yr Nice Workaround! I have also created a different approach to use TrackIR with ChasePlane that communicate the TrackIR position to ChasePlane instead. This is a temporary workaround since I'm working in a complet integrated solution for TrackIR in ChasePlane. The alternate workaround is available here Michaël Villeneuve-Normand Co-Founder and Developer, OldProp.

Best, Ryan Hi Ryan I tried your method without success, I am French and my translation is may be bad ... I assign, on my joystick the pause button of my tracki ir (button 7) I assign in chaseplane in column joystick Global Enable the same button 7 P3d is close, i run trackir 5, in pause mode before launching p3d I load scenery, im in runway, i active my button pause 7, i see the light now green my track ir, but does not work I missed a step ? thx FsStudioFrance Tuto PMDG FsStudioFrance Youtube Tuto
