The immersion Factor is incredible, you now can really enjoy the 3D Cockpits, like if you
where really sitting inside.
I bought TrackIR 4Pro aprox a year ago, especialy for flying Helis in FSX.
Now i'm a realism freak, and without this small tool i dont fire up any flight or Race sim anymore.
If you are really into flight & race sims, its a must have (ie: AH, FSX, rFactor or iRacing).
But if you seldom play this kind of Sims, i doubt you will find it very usefull.

Try 3D Cockpits in Stereoscopic 3D, it's even better. Once you see AH in 3D you'll never want to go back to 2D (same goes for FSX). I can't do a CV approach in AH in 2D any more - it just feels so unnatural (I flip between 2D/3D a bit as I have a dominant left eye that throws the gunsight outta whack, just like IRL).

Just bought one last week.  My suggestion is take a lot of time practicing offline.  I've crashed into trees, buildings, windmills, mountains, enemy planes, and sheep!  I will say this though, the game immersion is awesome.
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
