Hi there,

I have the following problem:
I have installed DBW via the "Stock 4.07m to DBW 1.71 SuperPack One-Stop" installer.
Everything seems to work fine except for the 6DOF. I just can't get it to work with my TrackIR 4.

I made sure that I didn't press shift F1 and I enabled the 6DOF file in JGSME...
In the Selector I chose the expert mode.

I'm rather helpless here... It works fine with my HSFX install...

Do I need to activate anything else in JGSME?
I enabled the DBW mod, of course. Do they have to be activated in a certain order?

Can anyone please help me? This takes all the fun away... 

Otherwise it is really great what talented people can get out of this "old comrade".

All the best,
Andy

I'm not 100% sure - I haven't used DBW in a while now - but the 6DoF you're referring to is the mod that allows the mouse to move you around in the cockpit.

You need to set up your TrackIR and, in your conf.ini file in the [rts] section, make the line "trackIRUse=1". You can then disable the 6DoF mod as it's redundant I think. Or, maybe you can leave it and, if you don't want to use the TrackIR for whatever reason, you can then use your mouse.

I know I loved the mouse 6DoF and wouldn't change - until I got my TrackIR 5 then I wouldn't go back.

Hope this helps.

Well, my TrackIR is set up correctly (the blue light comes on when I start the game), and the line in the conf.ini is set to 1. I checked that before posting of course.

Thank you anyway. Much appreciated.

Does anyone else have a similar problem? It is very strange because it works with HSFX without ANY problems whatsoever...

So for now DBW is a no go for me which is a real pity...

[Crashlight]

Yes, same here. TrackIR crashes the game. Says 6dof.tir executable has stopped working.

Here is the rts portion of the config.ini file

[rts]
;ProcessAffinityMask=1
mouseUse=2
joyUse=1
trackIRUse=1
DisableIME=0
locale=
JoyProfile=0
UseSmartAxis=1

Very strange...

Maybe I'll try and reinstall the thing from scratch.
There seems not to be another solution around...

Hi,

AFAIK there are several versions of this mod and the whole idea of the one I use e.g. (00_PAL6DOFNormalMouse) is to have an emulation of TIR without an actual TIR-the mouse takes these functions.
I assume this is the correct version? #DBW_6dofTrackIR_ClassFiles

I had a similar Prob when I reinstalled DBW some time ago.
Whatever I did I wasn't having a ball, downloaded all availlable version of this Mod,
olders etc. No joy. Only that I found out when having another thing that was troublesome too, Engine Mod. There I had the aircrafts crashing on CVs allover. Here again tried all versions. Now beat me,
the version I use now is OK, but I can't exactly say which it was. Hectic fiddling.
All from the sudden both JSGME shipped 6DOF worked on my X52Pro flawlessy.
But I can't recall which version of Engine Mod did it.
I dare to say this happened without any further Modification 6DOF and Engine Mod.
I use the Megapack too. But one thing got better, I remember times before Megapack, we needed to update manually and the error rate was a bit higher, even if you downloaded sth. twice to be sure, throw everything inside in the projected order. Sometimes Bugs come, sometimes you can beat, sometimes all systems fail and it's faster to do a complete overhaul from the scratch.

thanks for that bit of useless information, Knoch - lol

as i am shortly about to get a TrackIR 5, i would love to know what fixes, if any, there are for this issue.
i don't really use HSFX, DBW being my personal favorite pack, but i'd like to resolve any potential TiR issues before i get to that actual bridge in a months time.
