Getting 5 degree scan with new tracking camera is painful...

If I'm in space and use the ALT key to centre the camera on my target it works as expected.

If I then switch on tracking the camera will shift slightly and the results are lost when rescanning... even repositioning the tracking over the target does nothing.

Rather irritating, am I doing it wrong? If so, how?

Also I'm no longer getting a rollover to say what degree of scan I'm set to.

Cheers,

Hi, We have prepared a number of fixes to improve how the tracking camera works and improves d-scanning. These should be released after downtime on 17th December. Please let us know if these changes help. o7

Thanks for looking into this Masheen, much appreciated.

Will try these changes out and let you know how it goes.

Hmmm nope... just tried it... it's still pretty broken.

I turned on Tracking, warped towards the object (in this case a gate which I know had ships on it) and tried 5 degree scanning... nothing...

Then tried to "set" the tracking area which popped up a box. But every time I tried to put that box over the gate whilst in warp it would shift the camera further and further away from where I was going...

After jumping through the gate I still had the little square onscreen... so tried warping to a station and scanning... nothing.

Then tried to "set" the tracking area which popped up ANOTHER box and some random circle in the centre of my ship.

What exactly am I meant to use to calibrate this thing?

When I docked at the station I had two calibration squares still onscreen...

Cheers,

G.
