DOCS TrackIR how-to

Thanks Fernando, made my own folder as posted by Kunos, but no luck.

 

Thanks Seelenkrank.
I can search and find the folder I created, including the .ini file.

Not sure what you mean by ,... " better set it as exclusive" ,... ?

Question for anybody and everybody, , how does ACC "know",... to monitor output from OpenTrack, other than setting enable TrackIr to 1 in settings ?

 

in the trackIR software you can add profiles to a specific game (the game choose them from the ingame gamelist) or you can force the software use one "exclusive" for all.
because ACC is not in the gamelist of track IR maybe this is the key to get it running (?).

 

Thanks Seelenkrank.

I don't have the TrackIR system and/or software, I'm using OpenTrack and a home made led array, that does work with the OpenTrack software.

Do I download and use TrackIR software, and use the output from Opentrack ?

 

this i dont know :/
but you can test it, more than not working cant happen (maybe the PC explodes)

 

TrackIR5 does not work in ACC !!
In AC - work, ACC - does not!
Is it normal ?

 

After update Trackir software here - WORK!

 

After latest ACC updates this profile doesn't work for me. No movement at all. If I choose the default profile there is some movement but not left / right.
Are there any tricks or things I have to adjust on ACC settings to get it back working?

 

If I remember right. There are 3 interior views. One of them does not seem to work but the other 2 do.
Change your view to another interior one and try again. Then you can fine tune the settings to move the position more to your liking.

It works for me

 

Ok so browsing around for more solutions there is only one thing that helps. Resetting view setting to default. TrackIR starts to work normal again.

 

I was using OPENTRACK for a while, now no go.

Does anybody know if I have to have Trackir present and running for OPENTRACK to work.

Thanks.

 

@LATE4APEX - No, you don't need to run TrackIR for Opentrack to work. I have a Delan Clip and use Opentrack on it's own.

Just check that you are in the right view, inside the car, as not all of them. My input device is Point Tracker 1.1 and Output is FreeTrack 2.0.

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks @mabrunhosa, I'll give that a try.

One more thing if you don't mind, should TrackIr be enabled or disabled in the Jason file ?

 

I haven't had to change any JSON files, I presume you are using the ACC profile? I don't think that's needed anymore, at least from what I have read.

What headset/tracking device are you using?

I've never used TrackIR or the ACC profile, as I never needed to. I have a PS3 eye cam, OpenTrack and ACC, just works and was easy to setup. I am hoping to find some great advice on curves, it's quite smooth already, just looking for the optimal input/output. I know a lot of it is personal preference too

 

My led array is a home brew setup that clips to my computer glasses, will post pics when it is reliable.
It was working then quit on ACC, still shows' up as working on Opentrack, but not in ACC.

I found this in the camera settings Jason file,..."enableTrackIR": 1, might try again with it off.

I'm defiantly not the one for advise, ,... but there is a least one good thread here on various systems curves etc.

 

Hello,
I just bought myself a TrackIr 5 and tried to follow the instructions above.
But...
The specified folder doesn't exist. What I can find is this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint\TrackIR5\Profiles
When I add the profile there it doesn't show up in the software, so it seems it's not the right place for it.

Can someone please help me?
Ah, already found the answer: It's a hidden map

 

I have just tried to set my trackir 5 up with ACC but can not get it working. It works in trackir itself in that I can see my head moving so that is ok. When I go in game, nothing.
I have the profile folder on the c drive and am using my own profile, but have installed the software on a different drive. Does it matter?
There was a post about a specific view being required, is that still the case with latest updates? I use a modified view in that I am moved forward until the wing mirrors are just out of sight and turn off the wheel and hands.

I have come back to screen and (hopefully) trackir from VR for the better graphics (for the time being anyway, I know if Kunos CAN fixit, they WILL)

Anyway any advice will be welcome.
Salute

 

Not all views work with head movement, so most likely you have to change your view.
I use the view with no steering wheel (don't know how it's called) and configured that to my liking with a calculated FOV.
By the way: Don't forget to put a center button on your steering wheel somewhere.

I've used it now for about 2 weeks and it has completely changed the game for me.
Now I can drive like I would in a normal car and look where I want to go and not just stare fixedly out of my windscreen hoping for the best.
In tracks like the Nurburgring (for instance corners 1-3) I have so much more control.
I love it.

Succes,
Hans

 

Hi Folks,

I just got my TrackIR 5 with the Pro Clip. I took a profile from a User here and found that I just couldn't use it (I got nauseous). From what I've read in this thread for ACC nobody seems to be enabling the X, Y or Z axis. I've decided to only check Yaw, Pitch (no Roll), TrueView and Mirror. After centering my view, when I look top the left to the edge of my monitor I'm seeing the 90 degrees mark and when I look to the right edge of my monitor I'm at -90 degrees. Do this setup sound about right, or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any and all help provided. I'm going out on the track to see how it feels.

Update2: When I started ACC the TrackIR software was running with my saved Profile that I had just setup. However, when I got in the car I realized that it wasn't my profile as the X, Y and Z axis's were enabled. How do I get ACC to use the profile I setup and not the Default?

Update2: I realized I needed to make my Profile Exclusive. That worked. I'm still finding my head movement is too jerky and swift. How do I make it smoother and slower?

You can find instructions of how to link a profile to a game - Assetto Corsa Competizione- in TrackIR user manual below, without the need to be exclusive (page 19) :

https://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/documents/TrackIR-5.3-Manual.pdf

Also, in the above user manual, you find instructions of how to make it smoother and slower (page 14).

Regarding how much and how fast head tracking moves the in screen image, you have to adjust the motion curves for each axis (page 17) to suit your natural head an body motion when racing.

Some persons have the tendency to move their head and body more than others while driving, therefore another person profile may not suit you (too fast or too slow).
Also the distance you are from the monitor, the monitor size and, inclusively, FOV used and in game view distance, all are relevant for how the axis motion curves are set.

You have to set and tweak them to your particular situation.
