Train With Real Guns in First Person Shooters

Moving games between displays:

1. Start the game in anything other than exclusive full screen. Borderless window is the best option.
2. Click in the game window to give it focus
3. Press alt-enter
4. Hold down shift, the windows key, and press the left or right arrow keys. If that doesn’t work, drag the titlebar to the correct display.
5. Press alt-enter again.

Projector:

If using a projector, set it off to the side, about a 45 degree angle. This is so you can stand closer to the screen. Use your projector settings to fix the the image to be a rectangle.

AntiMicroX:

Only needed if you want to press a keyboard key from the gamepad, and don’t want to use voice commands to do it. Once configured, start it, then leave it running.

Interactive Gun Range:

If this isn’t already the case move your webcam looking at the display slightly off to the side. This is so you can stand closer to the screen. Recalibrate Interactive Gun Range.

For each game it is important you set the correct vertical field of view and aspect ratio in the mouse emulator settings. Unity and Unreal games use a vertical field of view by default. If you are instead given a horizontal field of view, you can use a calculator online, the formula is vFov = 2 * arctan(tan(hFov / 2) / aspect_ratio). aspect_ratio is the screen width divided by height. If you get this wrong you will know it because if you shoot a target partway across the screen, it will overshoot or undershoot vs. being correct at the edge of the screen.

For each game you want to use a gamepad and measure what the deadzone is for movement. I do this by moving the thumbstick until the character just barely starts moving. Without moving the stick, I then alt-tab to https://joypad.ai and see what the numbers read. I’ve already done this for you with the games listed below. If the game allows you to change the deadzone, make it zero and use that instead.

Start mouse emulator mode. Navigate to the page containing the Track IR section. Expand it and put the TrackClip or TrackClip Pro in front of the camera. Check that the red text went away, and green text is showing numbers relating to your head movement. If not, you probably didn’t start the Track IR software. 

TrackIR 5

1. Place the TrackIR camera just above and behind the center of your display, the height should be as close to your head as possible.
2. In the TrackIR software, under profiles, change to One:One.
3. In the advanced settings section, click the camera tab. Change Video Processing Mode to standard to increase the range. You need to redo this every time you launch TrackIR.
4. If using the TrackClip (included): You need to redo this every time you launch TrackIR 5. Tilt your hat upwards to face the camera. Raise IR Brightness to maximum. Reduce light filter threshhold to half or less.
5. If you bought the TrackClip Pro upgrade: I recommend this as it has better range. If you don’t like the wire, you can buy a 5 volt battery pack with USB A, put it in your pocket, and plug the TrackClip Pro into that. Unplug when done so you don’t waste the batteries.
6. The range of the TrackIR is limited. After initial setup you will want to run the TrackIR software to check it doesn’t lose tracking in your play area. If it does, stand closer. If it loses tracking if you look down only, and you are using the TrackClip, tilt your hat more upwards, then recenter.

Voice Attack:

Do the voice training. Start it, leave it running.  You will want commands to stop (F9) or recenter (F12) tracking. Here is a default profile if you want.
