Topic bump with additional information on the latest FaceTrackNoIR release.
On behalf of V4Friend i'll explain an extra feature here that was not mentioned yet.
I'll try to explain it as good as possible
The feature is a small change to the way the smoothing curves work.
This should improve the "boresight" view, looking straight ahead while using FTNoIR a bit, making it more stable.
Previous releases suffered from "falling" into boresight when the Neutral zones were set to any value above 0 (zero)
- Each curve has it's own Neutral Zone which can be set in the Curves Panel.
This neutral zone dampens the movement - as expected, but is probably for IL2 users a bit too crude, as mentioned above.
This neutral zone is applied to the X-axis of each curve. (the horizontal axis)
Now the extra feature:
- Each curve also has an
additional Neutral Zone, which is on the Y-axis (vertical axis) of each curve. This one is supposed to smooth out the movement even more, making the boresight threshold smoother.
To use this additional Neutral Zone, you must set the
X-axis Neutral Zone to atleast 1.
In addition, the curve editor will now ask to either Save, Discard or Cancel any changes made, so in case you mess up, just Discard any changes if you have'nt saved them yet!
Update:
Additional information on the Axis-Inhibitor/Restriction feature:
New in the latest FTNoIR version is the function to disable certain axis' by assigning a button to this function.
The function is found in the Options menu > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Here you can assign a
toggle button and define which movement axis' are disabled when this function is toggled.
For example; The button combination I use is ALT+Q.
When toggled, this disables my Pitch & Yaw axis, leaving Roll, X,Y,Z axis' enabled, so I can still "lean into" the gunsight, and zoom into it, without any Yaw rotations disrupting my forward movement.
~S!~
