Real Head Motion Plugin 0.1beta

[magicfr]

I know that i have to wait 20 sec., but the turning don't end.
But now it works, but i don't no why?
After some tries in the solo mode i have one time no turning view and now it's ok with every start.

Man, i get the same bug sometime i think there s still some bug in rf2 plugin system. It still just a beta

 

[magicfr]

Thank you for your plugin! I just tried it and I liked it a lot.

Just one question: is it possible to adjust the plugin so that only the camera position, and not rotation (especially pitch) is affected? I would like to try with a fixed horizon line. I think it may be more immersive when you use triple screen and a low FOV.


From what I saw in the .ini file, there are just values for pitch and roll. Does that mean that camera position is not changed (x,y,z)?

The pos is not changed, if you want the view to keep horizontal just set the factor to 0 and it will do that

I like it. Could you please make a version for RF1?

Congrats on making a plugin Mod, I tried it but found I prefer the way ISI have implemented the cockpit/head movement.

I turned down cockpit vibration in the player file from 1.0 to 0.60 and to me it is just more immersive and visceral.

But it is nice for people to have this option, more choices is definately a great thing !

cheers

I agree with you, sometimes it is a matter of personal taste
I didn't make this plug to get money or glory

Hi Marty,
It should have work this way.
If you don't have the Round "Electric" Plug logo on top left when going on track, maybe you the plug system is disabled on your game.
In Controls / Devices : there is a "Toggle HWPlugin" G_KEY, try if it works .
I don't know if there is another way to disable plug.

Your first version without the ini works fine for me and i haven't the turning view.

Your first version without the ini works fine for me and i haven't the turning view.

The only difference with the old version is that I read the .INI file when rFactor2 call the function enterRealTime().
So, this function now take more time because I have to open file and read it.
I didn't changed at all the way I call the Camera_PitchDown/Camera_RollLeft.

I'll try to remove the reading of ini file and check if it make any difference.

 

[magicfr]

New version.
I don't know if it will fix.
But maybe the bug happens when I receive telemetry before have the EnterRealTime finished. Because this is where I read the .INI file.
So I added a fix so I don't update any thing internally ,until the EnterRealTime is really finished.
Zip archive updated on webSite.

I tried 5 solo and 3 online, and I didn't get the bug, but it because it is random for me, maybe it's not fixed yet.

So could you try it and tell me if you still have the bug?

Cheers,
Seb

Some tries with the new version and no problems.
Look like the problem is gone.
Thanks

Hey great plugin, i think it works well.
I am just confused, i tested it and when i brake the head moves back and up, when i accelerate the head moves down and forward. Shouldnt it be the other way around?

Could you add a switch in the ini to change that? Thanks for doing this!

 

[RCRacing]

The new version doesn`t work for me. First all look fine but If i go first in the garage and after that in the cockpit the whole view turning wild.

Had the same issue.Removed the 2 plugin files and went away.But with the changes in PLR and the cockpit isnt vibrating crazy anymore. so will just leave it now.Tx for your effort.

UPDATE: Did your update on plugin and no more rotating. Tx sir very much.

Nope. I think you don't really understand why I try to simulate. It is all explain on the plugin website.

 

[jumi2]

Let me put it another way, shouldnt the car move away from the view when i accelerate and move closer when i brake? I read what you try to achieve on your website and i think its the right thing to do, the artifical head movement of rf and other simulators doesnt quite feel alright. So i think trying to simulate what the eyes do is a good step forward.

If not, could someone explain to me why? Sorry i dont quite get it atm.

 

[magicfr]

Ok, I understand more now. Like I said above replying to another person, I will add the head motion due to G acceleration and Collision later.
At the moment, this version simulate only the inner ear reaction that move head and eye to stabilize the head shaking.

When the car accelerate, the car lean backward, right? So my code try to keep the head stabilize, so, let's say, horizontal, so that's why it "seems" like the head is lean forward, but it is not, it is the car than lean backward.

I understand/agree that for high G the head weight act otherwise, but I will add that later. And it will be configurable, so in the .ini file everybody will could change if they prefer more innerEar correction or more G's.

I hope I am more clear now Sorry for the confusion,
Cheers,

Is it possible to reverse the headmovement on braking and accelerating at all? It would look better if the cockpit dash moved up the screen when breaking, simulating your head moving forward under brakes, and vise versa for accelerating? mine moves the opposite way at the moment?

**EDIT** sorry I posted that while you were replying above, and didn't see your post, forget my post now as you have just answered it above

 

[JJStrack]

thats a very very nice plugin! love it!
i still left the headmovement on ingame (although i edited the PLR file according to magicfr's plugin). with that i get the headmovement in xyz and the movement at collision from the ISI system and the roll from the plugin, is that correct magicfr? that mix feels absolutly great for me. i tried having the ingame headmovement completly off, but that felt strange when braking and accelerating, because the head doesn't move forth and back.
so the plugin coupled with the ingame Movement is really nice! the only thing i would love to have added is a little headmovement resulting of sideways g-forces, so you could see when you lose grip because of understeer etc. are you planning to implement that in your plugin?

 

[magicfr]

Thanks,
And,Yep, Head movment resulting of G forces is on the list
