View zooming with TrackIR

Currently using TrackIR and it works well (despite not having full 6 DOF as in other titles).

My only problem is the way the view seems to randomly zoom in and out for no reason. Hard to explain but here's two screenshots. NB. I have FOV slider at max and like it there so have not changed in the settings file.

View as I like it


View when it randomly zooms in.

As you can see when it zooms in it obscures part of the info panels.

Is there any way (perhaps in a settings file) to stop this?
 
Hmmm ... I'm getting weird TrackIR behaviour too. I can't quite tell from your pics if I'm getting issues as you, but your description seems to fit. Also, particularly in combat, my view ends up inside my character's body, with the inside of the shoulders visible left and right. My buddy, also a TrackIR user, experiences the same. This is in Cobra and Type 7. This did not happen prior to 1.2.

Change your FOV. Worked great for me.

Turn off Z tracking helps, in the TrackIR window unselect the Z portion.

But that has other issues, like sometimes being behind the chair.

The position slips no matter what you do, the number of times I tell VA to "Reset Track I R" to recenter the view is enough that My GF now starts text messages with "Reset Track I R".
 
When I was flying a Vulture in Beta 1.2, the view wandering was especially atrocious, I'd end up with huge chunks of the pilots body obscuring my view in combat, -

In other ships I pick up a few pieces of shoulder when using the side panels after entering supercruise, re-centering Track IR while in a SC acceleration phase usually fixes the problem for that entire session.

No so in 1.2's Vulture, the view wandering and clipping constantly reappeared requiring constant re-centers. -

Don't think I'd buy one even if i could afford it in my real file now that the update's gone live, - but I hope that problem has been sorted.
