Z/Y Axis lock #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
On Windows (using TrackIR software), If you move your head closer to the screen 
(positive Z axis) in order to look very closely at an instrument, then tilt (or 
pitch) your head down, the result is what you expect -- your 3D position stays 
put and you're just looking at the panel from above, at an angle.

In linuxtrack, however, if you repeat the exact same movements, in order, then 
as you tilt your head down the POV simultaneously moves up, actually going 
outside the cockpit canopy if you pitch down enough (still without physically 
moving your head upwards).

There is a detailed thread on the X-Plane forum here:

Hello Tal,
thank you for the report...
I'm in the process of getting this bug fixed - 3pt cap works well, but clip is 
doing strange things...
As soon as I have it fixed, I'll release new version immediately.
Kind regards,

Michal

PS. I'm uglyDwarf at the .org...

New linuxtrack veersion I just committed should fix the above problem.
For the moment I don't have a way to check XPlane plugin, so the new version 
will be out when I have it checked (probably tomorrow, but I can't promise 
that).
Kind regards,

Michal

I can check it out but it's not listed in the Downloads section.

Not yet, so far it is only in the repository (source code).
I'll make a package when I have chance to check, that the XPlane plugin works.
Kind regards,

Michal

Thanks a lot for your responsiveness. The behavior is now much more predictable 
and the Y translation when looking down is gone.

Cheers!
