ARMA3 and Opentrack

Recommended Posts

I've just got my DIY 3-LED clip working with my PS3 Eye cam and FTNoIR for DCS World but it wasn't working very well in ArmA.

I'm going to use Opentrack from now on, as it has some features that the current version of FTNoIR is lacking, so I was wondering if anyone has a good OT profile for A3 that they could share?

I tried OpenTrack today but sadly my view is shaking constantly in arma so its impossible to play.

I'm still using only my camera to track my view but I already ordered DelanClip.

The Accela filter did wonders for the shaking. I'm just having difficulty with the x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw and translations so my movements translate properly in-game. Anyone develop any profiles yet?

Hi all, I'm necroing this thread because of the ridiculous restrictions on new accounts (not allowed to make a new thread). I've had OpenTrack working in Arma 3 for a long time. I stopped playing for a few months and now that I've come back, I'm having one issue - I am unable to interact with the OpenTrack client when in Arma 3. By this I mean that I cannot center the view or zero or anything like that. I've always been able to do this before and I can still do this in every other game that I have (which supports head tracking, of course).

 

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Anyone else having similar problems? I'm hesitant to uninstall it or mess with the Arma settings, given how much of a pain it can be to get anything working with Arma 3. I have tried making a new Arma 3 profile, which did not help.

 

I'd really like to make a new topic about this (hopefully get more views), but for now this is the best I can do.

 

 

Edit: Someone on OpenTrack's site helped me. If anyone else has this problem, you need to make sure both Arma 3 and OpenTrack are NOT running as admin. For me, that meant changing the properties of the Arma 3 .exe (right click on the .exe, go "Compatibility" and then uncheck "Run as admin"). Works fine now.

Do you like OT better than FTNoIR? I used FTNoIR with DCS world too, but idk, it feels like it's lacking something, so i don't use it much. How does OT work for you?

I find opentrack works exceptionally well with arma3, using a 3point ir clip and ps3eye. Development work on it over the last year has been susbstantial and it is getting better all the time :)

This could either be a filesystem permission issue, or a memory mapping permission issue where pose data is stored.

 

Check this between-release build, if it works, it's a memory mapping permission issue. If not, using the installer will most likely help.
