I definitely want Tacview to be able to display pilot head movements, this would be a very interesting playback information!
The TrackIR icon you have noticed is really to control the cockpit view in Tacview via the TrackIR. I am not using it personally, but this has been requested by several people and was very easy to code :) Not all simulators offer pilot head position information. Also, it is not possible to access the TrackIR information or a webcam while a simulator is running. That’s why I didn’t take the time yet to implement this feature…
Now, I can add a new option to playback that information in a coming update.
Can you create and share an acmi file with the following variables?
That would be the rotation relative to the aircraft heading. yaw=0 means looking forward. this will be per object (each aircraft pilot head can be recorded).
I will try to support them in an upcoming release, your sample will help me to make sure this works properly.
PilotHeadRoll PilotHeadPitch PilotHeadYaw
are now supported by Tacview 1.8.2 beta 2!
Are there parameters to orientate the TrackIR feature at the current time frame tick in ACMI playback? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really see the point of TrackIR controlled viewing during ACMI playback, unless this was a [planned?] feature. Sure it may be a little easier to to present something, but I see far more value in being able to analyze how frequent and where the pilot was looking for how long etc..
Not sure about TrackIR logging, but opentrack make's all these available via CSV export:
dt,rawTX,rawTY,rawTZ,rawYaw,rawPitch,rawRoll,correctedTX,correctedTY,correctedTZ,correctedYaw,correctedPitch,correctedRoll,filteredTX,filteredTY,filteredTZ,filteredYaw,filteredPitch,filteredRoll,mappedTX,mappedTY,mappedTZ,mappedYaw,mappedPitch,mappedRoll
