Any solution for using TIR in a GV? One of the benefits of TIR is using your POV hat(s) for other uses. But I don't like TIR in a GV so I still need my hats programmed as POV.

In GVs, I use TrackIr only while at commanders station (pintle mount). When driving, i rarely need to look in other directions than plain forward, so my keyboard will suffice.

It works great in the Osty. Crouch down really low in the gunner's position, then recenter. Then you can see over the sides of the armor pretty easily.

the weird sick feeling only lasted a day. Once I got use to it the first day, the next day it was almost like second nature. I just have to get accustomed to not relying on the hat switch. Which seems to be my biggest problem. 5 years of using it, its hard to just stop.

I have my joystick set up to go to the different stickset 3 and 4....I can toggle the TrackIR off in these instances and still move everywhere within the GV AND have saved my head positions so that I am looking where I need to be and I use my POV to look around. When in the Gunner/commander positions (or any others for that reason) I have a button mapped to turn the Track IR on and off.

In flight it is ALWAYS on for me

Anytime mosq.

I forgot to take distance from monitor into consideration, but i'm glad they helped.
There's also one more setting in there that i forgot to mention.. its called hat or headphones, and adjusts to where you place the clip.
It also makes a difference as far as centering goes.
I have mine clipped to the top of my headphones.

Basically this is how i set mine up and figured it all out..

I pretended i was in a dogfight, and used that big head to adjust the dampening as i looked right, left, up, back, etc.
Then went off line and practiced with the drones, and made final adjustments before going into the MA.

Like morph said, it's important to make sure the roll is set to very high dampening or you wind up "upside -down" in the cockpit, which will definitely make you want to loose your lunch on the moniter.

Hope I like it as much as you all do . Seems like it will make flying more enjoyable . After working in a auto plarts plant all these years my fingers are going numb so anything that will spare them sounds double good .

Hmmm auto plants, Lansing, Flint (well not anymore), Detroit (includes Novi, and the outskirts), or ??? I think that covers em all.

I was raised in Lansing and pulled auto parts out of Detroit to the east coast for a couple of years as a semi driver before retiring here to sunny Tucson
