dcs-scratchpad VS opentrack

DCS Scratchpad, Open Kneeboard, Joystick Gremlin and HidHide, VoiceAttack, Tacview, and if I may self-promote for a moment, DCS AutoMate.

If you use custom mods, some might have their own folders here too. For me, it's just the folder for Scratchpad.

Latest update fixes it. (Only read the change log, have not tested myself)

For things like changing a radio frequency or turning on/off datalink or TACAN, it's about even. If I'm doing things like manually entering in target coordinates for JDAMs or plugging in my own flight plan on an MP server, it makes life much easier. (For the second scenario I also recommend using DCS Scratchpad.) It's also nice in that it supports various panels multiple aircraft, and the only other thing that I know of which offers even close to equivalent functionality costs several hundred dollars.

For some extra help with writing stuff down I really recommend this: https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad

You can download the update at https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/releases/tag/0.5.0

Given it's an enhancement of The Way, most likely not since the F10 map in pancake doesn't operate the same way as the one in VR as far as The Way is implemented. The only one I've had any success with is Scratchpad, which basically gives you a window you can type notes to reference to avoid having to flip back to the F10 map for coordinates.

DCS Scratchpad (https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad) is also a godsend in VR especially once you start programming JDAMs/JSOWs. The great thing about it is that, if you find it a bit cumbersome to convert chuck's guides into the DCS kneeboard format, you can just list down your own checklist on a notepad and copy paste it into the scratchpad directory.

I want to buy something like TrackIR (I don't know much about equivalent products). My friend told me about a DIY tracker that I could use (opentrack).

Out of curiosity, do you have a formed opinion on Opentrack for 6DOF support? It would be cool to have a little input plugin from your software for the XREAL into Opentrack! I usually play Il-2 1946 and other flight sims on a docked Steam Deck, and opentrack + android phone with AI recognition is a god send.

I'm attempting to install on Nobara 37 and saw #1558.

Per https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/issues/1453 , it looks as though bookworm is affected by the badly-thought-out https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/d974f064b5a269fe8bd009d1430d17218aaf07b7

Download the latest release of Opentrack. Install it, and when it launches change Input to "UDP over newtork" and Output to "freetrack 2.0 Enhanced".

FreePIE + OpenTrack.

I think you’ve got the wrong sub. But I thank you. I’ve learnt a load figuring out your acronyms! For anyone not following trackir is this https://www.trackir.com/trackir5/ (which looks remarkably similar to a head mouse extreme which you can’t buy). It’s head tracking. Not eyegaze.
