Track IR and Joysticks not working in Premium Beta build?

[cptzipzap]

TrackIR has the Elite Dangerous profile installed and it does translate movement in to the game but it's backwards and doesn't seem to directly relate to the movement I'm making...

eg. Look left, it looks right, lean back and left and it leans back and right center up to where I was and I manage to either sit on the [metaphorical] front bumper of the ship outside the cockpit or on the glass canopy above where I should be.

Pressing F12 seems to reset it but as it is right now I can't use it.

Being using TrackIR in DCS and Arma 3/2 for nearly a year now so I am used to it but something seems wrong in ED, any clues on a fix?

[Premium Beta so playing Alpha 1]

i just made a copy of my trackir profile inverted all and smoothed it

this is my profile for the premium beta - maybe it helps you - its more smooth not so hectic, and rather smaller amounts

Honestly, I'm not too upset because beta starts May 30th, and it's very nice of them letting us play the earlier versions right now. But on the store page, on the BUY PREMIUM BETA NOW news, they really should mention Alpha 1.1 instead of single player combat.

I agree. I wasted a lot of time trying to get my controllers to work before I found this out. I was really hyped to play this. If I would've known I would've waited or might have gotten something else to play with. Lucky for my guild mates I found this out for them. At least they know to wait until end of May. Now it's back to waiting for beta or SC DFM to come out.

I managed to get my trackir 5 and Thrustmaster Hotas warthog setup working (although all the stick's buttons are doubled on the thrust control), but one thing I cannot manage is to set focus on the UI. I can turn my head to see the UI panels on the left and right, but cannot work in them. When I press the buttons I defined to lay focus on these panels it seems that trackIR overrides it and my character's head is not turned to the UI panel. Anyone has this problem as well? I have ED Alspha 3.4

TrackIR working great, thanks for the profile! One question: how do you get UI focus to use the left/right screens? Not having any luck with the UI Focus keybinds while trackIR is active.

I have the same problem as you. The game is unplayable without UI focus. Don't know how to solve this. Can anybody help? The keys or joystick buttons mapped to UI focus seem not to work at all when you use Trackir.

 

[cptzipzap]

did you try mapping the 1,2,3 to buttons on the joystick?

Not these in particular, but several others even some keys on my keyboard as well. Nothing works.

This build wont have support for Dual input devices, such as the X55 and the Warthog.

Track IR should work with no problems, if you do experience any though please report them here - http://support.orerve.net/http/user/loginform

This is a huge, *huge* trap - I searched through the forums prior to purchase (like someone else on this thread) and saw confirmation that HOTAS setups, like the X-55 I have, were supported. I was pretty excited to test it out, and spent more than little time trying to figure out what was going on here. And, as someone else pointed out, that they're blaring BUY PREMIUM BETA NOW and not pointing out that it's an old build without basic support is kind of ****ty.

Still excited for this, but am definitely not recommending it to anyone else for the time being.

I dont think that we were supposed to be trying this version,as its an early Alpha build. I am a bit disappointed as well but it will soon be the end of May

Edit : misthought!

Hi, please bear in mind that this is just a taster until the Premium Beta kicks off in full on May 30th.

Alpha 1 i would accept these kind of problems but for premium beta, come on, a flight game that doesn't support joysticks !!

Devs have made you a gift and granted you access to single player so that you could practice your skills one month before the release of PB.
There is absolutely no sense in spending efforts and resources in creating new single player release.
Of course there is nothing misleading in the advertisement there is written exactly what you get.
The game supports joysticks, one joystick for Alpha 1, multiple controller devices since Alpha 3.

Word!

I'm also really disappointed about premium beta. I have a logitech G940 here. No support for pedals, no support for FFB, bugged TrackIR support (inverted axis, head leaves the cockpit). I'm not able to use my HOTAS!

Now i wait till the end of may to play the game. 120,-Euro for nothing.

Sorry frontier thats not ok. A beta follows the last build of an alpha. Why do we become an old build with buggs?:S

First of all Premium Beta is not released yet. You paid 120EUR for the version that will be released the 30.05.

Nobody is going to spend resources and time into creating a new single player build because it is a dead end!

As you said "Beta follows the last build of an Alpha". I would like to remind you that the last build of the Alpha is NOT released yet.

I was really shocked when suddenly people are saying that they are playing the Premium Beta. I was like "WTH!, I paid money for something that was already over" until I see Aleksej, reply. (Though I just rmb that I was funding not buying actually...)

I thought I was just so uninformed and incapable of reading instructions, especially after making careless mistakes in my today's exam paper.. -_-"

Well, but I really hope they will support TrackNoIR somehow.
Mine work really well with my PS3 Eye though my laptop's camera doesn't work well.
