Tutorial: How to disable automatic camera movement in cockpit view.

[shortcat]

So recently I decided to play TDU 1 again, but was unpleasantly surprised by camera panning in the corners when using cockpit view. I must say I used hood cam back in the day. Searching for camhack resulted in nothing, I was disappointed until I noticed inactive option in controls menu called TrackIR. Enough of the lyrics, here is the way to disable annoying camera movement.

To emulate TrackIR you can use program called "GlovePIE". Get it here: http://glovepie.org/glovepie_download.php (I used "GlovePIE 0.43 with Emotiv support" since 0.45 did not work). Extract it, launch GlovePIE.exe and run the following script:

FakeTrackIR.yaw=Joystick.pitch*90
FakeTrackIR.pitch=-Joystick.yaw*90

GlovePIE will create virtual TrackIR device and map it to your gamepad's right stick. Now you can run TDU and enable TrackIR in options. Enjoy your rigid camera.

Script was made for my gamepad (x360 compatible) so you may need to change joystick axis or use mouse if you want, refer the guide at http://glovepie.org/w/index.php?title=Preliminary_Documentation_v0.45#Joystick

Note that you need to run the script with FakeTrackIR at least once, otherwise GlovePIE will not create virtual device. Later you can run the game without GlovePIE, without ability to move camera though.

Have known about the TrackIR hack for years (although I actually own TrackIR and use that for my own movements, love it). I thought there was an option for "Look to Apex" in the game but maybe I'm thinking of another title.
