TrackIR and BOX

Post by Tex » Mon Feb 19, 2018 6:20 pm

Just got my Steam sale copy of BOX and started the long haul of setting up controls. I could not, for the life of me, find a way to activate the TrackIR. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Steps so far:
1; activating trackIR and selecting Il-2 BOX profile.
2; reviewing set up, graphics and camera sections in game
3: rebooting and restarting TrackIR before game
4: reading FAQ and Forum
5: cursing

I have track Ir and game worked with it since i lanched it first time.

-What i do is start track ir
-select my bos profile
-go in camera and in Video procesing Mode insted precision select Standard and then minimize my track ir
-start BoS game

If game crashes or i close it in task manager even if track ir is working i have to turn it of before starting BoS game again.

Also what i noticed in game if im using outside views or padlocks and i crash, my track ir will stop working in game untill i pres F2 and f1 again, but rest works ok


Do you see track ir is recognising your clip or reflectors, i dont remenber of having to activate any key just for track ir in game.

Did you just adjust your cloD profile and save it as new BoS profile (i did it like that) or you created new from start for BoS, maybe some hotkeys fore pause and precision in Track ir you didnt change so your somehow turning it of while in game

I had downloaded TrackIR again to make sure I had the most updated version. Then, restarted it and selected the stock IL-2 BOX profile. Then, launched the game.
On Cliffs, I seem to recall there was a key or input you could select to enable TrackIR and wondered if there was the same thing here. I will try again and maybe it will magically start working.
I have a similar problem with Teamspeak where sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't with no rhyme or reason to it.
Could be me.

I don't think there is a tick box for TiR in BoX (could be wrong) , pretty sure my old TiR3 just works automatically. In fact it works better in BoX than Cliffs, where sometimes I have to restart the game to get it working.
Computers eh!

Inexplicably, it has started working. No idea why but I won’t jinx it by asking questions.
