Keep in mind I have TIR2, the newer TIR 3 is very similar only slightly more resolution and the new VECTOR thingy changes the way head movement works to a more natural way of converting your movement.,


That said,

There is no lag

The FR hit is so small, you'll never notice it on anything that plays AH2 reasonably already.

With the current system (the new one will likely be a little easier to learn)......It takes a good week with 2 hours a day to become reasonably proficient at using it.  It takes about a month to become unconciously comfortable with it.  When you first start using it, it feels hard to control, and you WILL get all kinds of unwanted movement as you unconiously move your head.   THis is easpecially true when you zoom in.

You MUST MUST MUST allow yourself to work through the hard times or you'll never get used to it.  Once you get over the hump its a whole new world...and its hard to play without it!

With the new vector system, leaning your head will no longer turn your virtual head...and this may cut down on the learning curve considerably.

track ir 3 rocks any previouse view system, but its limited and can be compared to having a mouse mapped to your head, so you dont get any deapth tracking and such, with tir3 vector, it will simply track every movement 3 dimensionaly, its done with 3 dots instead of one. you want to lean in and check out the instruments? no prob,{with track ir vector or any track ir for that matter we dont need the generic instrument lay out, would be nice if there was a toggle} you got a bogey behind a canopy frame? no prob just move your head around it. you want to check out how much more quisky you got, no prob. Oh and there is the god awful question of "what if you check your 6 you cant see your screen" well its not a one to one ratio of movement, you can adjust it to what ever you like, and creating a custom set up is necasary, tho with track ir 3 the aggressive  preset worked fine.

again the link to the movie explains all.

It is instantaneos and deadly accurate. But it does take some getting used too.
I am getting it in IL2 but still shakey after 2 weeks in AH2. But to be honest. It improves IL2 so much that I have been playing that 90% of the time since I got Track IR3 pro
