Now you can look directly aft, like this:




Or you can not only look straight up as before, but you can now tilt your virtual head back a further 45 degrees.

From the included readme file:


WxTech's Increased Head Panning Range for 4.12 and B.A.T. 4.0

This little mod increases the range of virtual head panning as follows:
- In the horizontal, from 155 degrees to 180.
- In the vertical, from -60 to +89 degrees to -75 to +135.

If you're using head tracking kit, you shouldn't need to alter any settings.

This is not a 'cheat', really, because it's not allowing to see more than you already can. What it does do is to impart a better sense of freedom of movement, because now you'll hardly, if ever, be hitting the former hard stops to rotation. It really is liberating!

This involves an important base class, HookPilot.class. Its four class files are (compiled/hashed 2019-10-23 7:40PM):

I originally did this for my 4.12 game, and find it works fine in B.A.T. 4.0. I present it here for both 4.12 and at least earlier B.A.T. versions. I have no idea if there are differences introduced for B.A.T. 4.1.2 or later.

WxTech,

I love the mods you have been making.  They have been making a big impact on my game play, making it more fun visually and mechanically.

I sent you a PM.

Cheers

Hello WxTech,

thank you very much. This mod run flawlessly in my #BAT v4.2 FLASHPOINT.

For my "DBW" friends: This mod will not run with 4.10.1 & #DBW!

Best regards,

 

Gerhard

Literally reminds me of this.

Another "pearl" from the stable WxTech's

Wow, I'll give this a try. This must be the mod you were referring to here https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,67487.0.html

[WxTech]

Veg,
Yep, this is the one I referred to in that thread.

[Andy H]

I'll be having some of that! Thanks very much yet again, WxTech.

WxTech, your mods do a lot to make this game more immersive. Really looking forward to trying this one!

Edit: Just tried this in BAT 4.2. It truly gives a much greater sense of freedom in the cockpit. Not exaggerating to say it's a game changer for me.

Really, really good, Glenn, thanks. As Gerhard says, absolutely fine in Flashpoint. Like everyone else, my Trackclip Pro broke years ago and I never replaced it. Like you, I just use the hat clip - less cabling, less flimsy, and almost no noticeable performance difference. I do use a cap, though, and can't get an angler fish out of my head when I read your setup description 

Strangely (and rarely, it would seem), I have always just used the out of the box settings for TrackIR, which I find fine. This mod does make a considerable difference, though. Thanks again.

Yours,

Clive

Love it!

I'm in the same boat as Cradbury, I broke the Trackclip years ago and use the hat clip, I don't feel any difference. I have not needed touch the settings in my life either.

Thank you very much, really.

Looks cool, how could I set this up for BAT 4.2 using JSGME so that it is reversible?  Just dump it into BATMODS, or do I have to create a folder structure?
