Beta, headtracking recentering

[P1ankton]

When is on, headtracking keeps recentering after a second or so. Or I missed something in controls?!

This is not only the case in the beta. For me, with OpenTrack, the same issue happens when using the built-in FreeTrack options and the current 7.5 release. For some reason, it keeps re-centering.

The solution I found is to choose UDP over Network instead as output and put in 127.0.0.1 as the target with port 4242. Then, in the in-game settings, you need to enable the OpenTrack connection.

Then, it will work as normal without re-centering.

EDIT / PS: I forgot to mention that OpenTrack needs to be started before you enable the OpenTrack connection in-game. If this is successful, it will tell you "Connection established".

Thanks a lot for the explanation!
I wonder why did they implement it that way?! It worked just fine before.
Sadly, it is gamebraking for me.

Once you get it to work with the outlined solution, it will work just fine - as it was before.

beta 2 of 7.6 seems to have fixed this problem, maybe try it and report back

It is not fixed, still the same

Then, as outlined in my previous post, switch to UDP over Network as output, and this issue is resolved. Since the settings menu explicitly mentions a connection, I would assume this to be the way forward for OpenTrack and X4.
