Here are some tips 💡 :

• Enable/disable key
  • Set the Enable/disable key-bind to the same key as the binoculars in War Thunder if you prefer to have the ET5 disabled when you use binoculars.
    
• Reset head tracking key
  • Also, set a key-bind for recenter head tracking position as sometimes you will change your sitting position while playing and will need to reposition the in-game camera.

Camera Boost creates an additional boost to your head tracking rotation when you rotate your head towards where you are looking on the screen. The boost gets stronger the further from the center of the screen you are looking and the more your head rotation is in the same direction as you are looking.

In Game Hub you can tweak the maximal boost which can be applied to the head tracking rotation sensitivity by adjusting the In-game camera boost setting.

By adjusting the Gaze dead-zone setting you can also choose at what distance from the center of the screen you must look for the boost to start increasing (reaching its’ maximal boost at the edge of the screen).

Please note that this feature requires a Tobii eye tracker.
