FreeTrack Emulation?

[raeldor]

Hi All,

I have the script...

freeTrack.roll = oculusVR.roll
freeTrack.pitch = oculusVR.pitch
freeTrack.yaw = oculusVR.yaw
freeTrack.x = 0
freeTrack.y = 0
freeTrack.z = 0

But when I fire up Microsoft Flight (online), it doesn't do anything. It's like it's not recognizing FreeTrack at all. Am I mistaken in understanding that FreePie can also EMULATE devices such as FreeTrack? Am I missing something fundamental here?

Thanks

Tried this too, but still no go. Oculus values are changing, but trackIR all stays at zero.

def update():
trackIR.roll = oculusVR.roll
trackIR.pitch = oculusVR.pitch
trackIR.yaw = oculusVR.yaw

if starting:
trackIR.update += update

diagnostics.watch(trackIR.yaw)
diagnostics.watch(trackIR.pitch)
diagnostics.watch(trackIR.roll)
diagnostics.watch(oculusVR.yaw)
diagnostics.watch(oculusVR.pitch)
diagnostics.watch(oculusVR.roll)

hi raeldor
Yes FreePIE can emulate both

Code: Select all

freeTrack.roll = oculusVR.roll
freeTrack.pitch = oculusVR.pitch
freeTrack.yaw = oculusVR.yaw

Should work if you get values from oculusVR
Start regedit (registry), and check key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freetrack\FreetrackClient\path

It should point to the FreePIE install folder

TrackIr script is a bit wrong

Code: Select all

def update():
   trackIR.roll = oculusVR.roll
   trackIR.pitch = oculusVR.pitch
   trackIR.yaw = oculusVR.yaw

if starting:
   oculusVR.update += update

Also you cant read and write at the same time so
diagnostics.watch(trackIR.yaw) wont work

Also MS Flight is a encrypted game so you need to apply TrackIR fixer

Hi,

Thank you so much for your reply. I checked the registry. It seems correct...

C:\Program Files (x86)\FreePIE

I also modified the script to read...

def update():
trackIR.roll = oculusVR.roll
trackIR.pitch = oculusVR.pitch
trackIR.yaw = oculusVR.yaw

if starting:
oculusVR.update += update

diagnostics.watch(oculusVR.yaw)
diagnostics.watch(oculusVR.pitch)
diagnostics.watch(oculusVR.roll)

And I also have TrackIRFixer running, which correctly found MS Flight (can't copy+paste message, sorry).

However, STILL nothing is happening in the game.

Thanks
Ray

Strange, is other games working? Dirt is confirmed to work with FreePIE and trackir fixer

[raeldor]

GTR2 is not working either.

Now see this in the NPClient.log file which wasn't there before...

Start FreePIE and your script, check in registey that npclient path Points to FreePIE. I just tried Future Pinball which is the only TrackIR game I have installed at the moment and it works fine.

[raeldor]

NPClient path is the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freetrack\FreetrackClient\path registry entry, or is there another registry entry I should be looking at?

Thanks

[raeldor]

Just searched registry, and I also have NaturalPoint/NaturalPoint/NPClient Location with keys 'Freepie_RealPath' and 'Path' both set to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeTrack' instead of 'C:\Program Files (x86)\FreePIE'. Just updated and it works now!

Thank you SO much!

I'm at my phone right now so can't check the exact path, but that path is to freetrack not trackir. I Think its under a path called naturalpoint or so.

Btw, trackir uses degrees and oculus radians so you need to wrap the oculus values with math.degrees to get them in the correct format

Well, it's working in Test Drive Unlimited for TrackIR, but still not in Flight for FreeTrack.

[raeldor]

Ha! Got it working for MS Flight. Turns out it was looking for a TrackIR.exe process. I renamed FreePIE.exe to TrackIR.exe and now it works. Who knew!?

[CyberVillain]

Nice that you got it working!

Strange that you needed to change the registry, FreePIE should manage that automatic
