dezkit 28 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Does anybody else here feel like the head tracking in this game is very inferior to other games? When flying in the buzzard it feels very weird. If you move your head forward, your vision zooms in, instead of your head moving forward. You can't move your head up and down, even though the game was advertised as having 6 DOF. Plus, moving your head forward while you are turned is very very buggy. Thanks for reading Edited September 29, 2013 by dezkit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andersson 285 Posted September 29, 2013 Agree. It also doesn't work properly when you have floating zone on (I use 100%). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Head forward works in helicopters, but not in Buzzard. But at least it gets rid of the distracting zoom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But at least it gets rid of the distracting zoom. I just tried it in the chopper. It's piss poor. Theres only 2 DOF worth using in ArmA 3, all others are 10% functional Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because some of the tickets I had made have been marked as assigned but do not even have a reply from a dev. Thanks man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=seany=- 5 Posted October 1, 2013 It's pretty good on foot. But yeah, in vehicles the 6dof is kind of weird/restrictive. Some vehicles it's not setup properly. I'd love to have more freedom to move around. You can only move a tiny bit into the 6dof zones and it suddenly feels like you have a Hans device on. You should be able to fix the Zoom problem by unassigning TIR from that command in the controls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoneCrow66 10 Posted October 1, 2013 It definitely can be improved but I use Track IR and it works fine for me. I really dont need the side to side stuff. It does make it more realistic though. Problem is like in other games sometimes you can actually sway outside a cockpit etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is like in other games sometimes you can actually sway outside a cockpit etc. It is a problem for me because landing, both airplane and helicopter, is extremely difficult if you can't look over the obstacles blocking your view. i.e. when you are going in for landing from the right or left of the runway in the buzzard, the little lines block your view. You should be able to look over this obstacle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoneCrow66 10 Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah for the chopper I do have to switch to external view for sure that does make sense that we could use better range of motion. I wonder if we increased the FOV a bit it might help. It just misses the peripheral vision that you get in real life and need when in choppers. Landing a real chopper is a hell of a lot easier to do than this sim without being able to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theres only 2 DOF worth using in ArmA 3, all others are 10% functional I don't think you can move your head that much sideways or up/down when you are strapped in your seat in tight buzzard cockpit. The AH/MH9 has more space and more freedom, head forward is quite limited, though. As you have your seat belt on and your neck doesn't stretch that much. Head roll is quite cool flying a jet, too.
