Albion Prelude + TrackIR5, jumpy screens

Post by donik » Sat, 17. Dec 11, 17:21

Decided this morning I was going to try out the TIR support that you guys so graciously added to the game. It has made the overall experience 100% more immersive, for sure!
I noticed though that while docked at a station if I bring up, say, the Trade menu and mouse over the items listed, the entire background of the game (docked in station) twitches every time i mouse over a new item. It doesn't do it when in space, looking at the sector map. And it doesn't do it using the menu's from the bar on the left. It seems to be isolated to docked in station. It's enough to make me go cross eyed/get a headache. :|

It does not do this with TrackIR disabled.

I have TrackIR 5 and the latest software from the TIR website, was wondering if anyone else experienced this and just wanted to give a heads up.

System specs:
AMD PII 970
AMD HD 6970 with 11.12 drivers
16GB RAM
W7 x64 Home Premium

Also when toggling Classic Flight mode - the view centre will quickly twitch back to the default centre and then back to the TIR point I was looking at. It is very disconcerting.

A little bump for that because the last patch didn't help. It'd also be great to have the TrackIR in X3:TC...

EDIT : A short way to solve the problem for now is to hit the F9 key when you dock to deactivate the device.

I don't use classic flight but with the station menus I just use my stick controls (hat to navigate, fire to select and set button 2 to cancel) and it works fine - no screen jitters. Otherwise pause the TIR until (if) they patch it.
