Hello,
the behavior you are experiencing is correct; when Linuxtrack detects a
PilotView plugin, it channels its data to the plugin, so it works like on
Windows, when TrackIR is connected. So in this config, you have to both start
the tracking and activate the PilotView.
As for the wrong point of view; when you activate the PilotView, but not the
Linuxtrack, do you get the correct view?
Kind regards,
Michal

Michal,
I am on the road and will be home on Sunday. I will check that out and get
back to you as soon as I can.

Michal.
I reinstalled Pilot view and now it seems to be working with most of my
planes except A320 Neo. I have no clue on why it does not work right with
that one plane, maybe you can shed some light on this. One thing that would
be helpful is a step by step installation and setup for Mac. I understand
the X-plane setup but configuring Linuxtrack is another story.

Hello,
can you please elaborate more on the subject of how exactly is doesn't work for
A320 Neo? Unfortunately I don't own the plane, so I can't give it a shot
myself...
As for the setup and configuration, except for Linuxtrack installation (open
the .dmg and drag the ltr_gui and Wiimote server somewhere) the instructions
are pretty much the same on Mac and Linux and they are described in the
ltr_gui's help...
That said, given the fact that I'm working on this project for quite some time,
it might be that I overlooked something, that seem too obvious to me, but in
reality it isn't... Feel free to ask if you stumble upon some problem, just
please be specific - what the problem is, how does it manifest, ...
Kind regards,
Michal
PS. One more datapoint concerning the A320 malfunction - when you disable the
PilotView plugin (just drag it somewhere and when done, drag it back) and leave
Linuxtrack only, how does it behave?

Hi Michal,
I have had the same issues as Barry - I don't know how this works on a Mac, so
I have been following the conversation.
Do Mac users have to do anything with Wine.exe? How do I edit the
PilotView.ini file, which is a windows file? When you say drag the ltr_gui and
Wiimote server somewhere, do you mean put in on our hard drive in any directory
we want?
I too get the TrackIR working on the Mac using the ltr_gui, but it doesn't work
in Xplane.
When I open Xplane, the TrackIR green lights come on when loading, but they
then turn yellow.
- Pilotview and Linuxtrack are Enabled
- On Xplane 10.30, under Settings/Joystick and Equipment/Equipment, I check the
box on the left hand side that says TrackIR when in 3D cockpit views.
- When I set up Linuxtrack, it tells me that the Pilotview plugin is found, and
is channelling head tracking data through it.
Still doesn't work - the lights on the TrackIR are still yellow.
I have tried it with that TrackIR checkbox checked and unchecked.
I would agree that some step by step for Macs would be very useful

Hello,
I'm planning to make some screencast going through the linuxtrack setup...
Unfortunately I don't have much spare time these days, but I'll try to put
something together as soon as possible...
Anyway, for now, to get you up and running...
When I say drag ltr_gui and Wiimote server, I refer to usual Mac install
procedure - open the .dmg file and drag the files somewhere (Desktop,
Applications, ...). Just remember that should you move the ltr_gui, you have to
run it at least once and save the preferences.
You shouldn't have to do anything with wine.exe; it should do everything for
you.
You say the lights turn green, and that orange when you run XPlane, which means
the firmware is in place. Also the lights changing is normal behavior.
What you have to do is to setup a hotkey/joystick button so
start/pause/recenter tracker - see this page for walkthrough:
https://code.google.com/p/linux-track/wiki/XplanePluginSetup
Now you need to install the Pilotview.ini - I usually use Text Wrangler, but I
think TextEdit should work too...
The checkbox in the Equipment menu works in Windows only...
Hope it helps, let me know should you encounter any more problems.
Kind regards,
Michal

Place the Wiiserver app and LTR_GUI on your desktop and leave them there
and it will work.
