Did you get the reflective clip or the led clip (pro)?  I use the former, and it works fine as long as the room is dark, but wished I had went with the pro version

[dmdchief]

It came with the pro.

Ok folks I got it in and installed but need help adjusting it.  If I turn my head to the right it goes way past 180 but only about 3/4 of the way if I turn to the left.  I can not see behind me as it looks at the seat and I can't seem to move away from it even in p51.  Anyone that help with the profile setup it would be greatly appreciated.  Oh and I would also like to know how you map the pause to a button on the ch throttle I saw someone somewhere had done that.

thanks

TrackIR Center is one of the key binding choices in AH in the views menu.

You have to spend some time adjusting the camera while checking the results in the camera window. Make sure the LEDs aren't blocked by your full range of physical movement in your chair.

Scaling the axis will help with looking behind you.

I can't post my profile now but there are other threads with linked profiles.

I'll send you a copy of my profile if you wish.  Just provide your email address via PM.

Here's a link to a profile for the TrackClipPro. Roll and trueview are not checked. I set speed to 3 and smoothing to 30.

It takes ages to set up and get used to

Be careful of track pro not to break it

I unchecked the Y axis and it made a huge improvement in my gunnery. It's still not very good though. Was does the true view actually do?

Trueview moves your head as you turn it. Without trueview your head just pivots.

The "Delanclip" works with either TrackIR or FreeTrack. It is sturdy, well made and costs about the same as the TrackIR Pro Clip.  Best flight sim related purchase I've made in a while.

thanks for the link, I like the metal construction.

I'm on my second ProClip, first one lasted 14 months. The catch broke when I was putting it on a new headset. Plastic electrical tape to care of the problem.

yup you gotta bind "pause" and "center" to a joystick button.  do it from the trakir program. in the left middle where it says "hot key's".

Another tip.  Once you have trackir working diddle with the FOV setting since you have a good view of the instrument panel.  On the P-38 as an example, the FOV auto setting is 106 on my machine but I get a clearer view of the gauges using 102.    It slides up a little closer to a proper head position to the front screen.  It just looks more real.  You might have to alter your head position while adjusting the FOV as well.

On the other hand I did not find it useful to alter the FOV on the P-47 bubble tops.  The point is not all plane will benefit from a FOV change but it is interesting to change the setting.

I thought (and experienced it) that it controls how your head moves while looking backwards. Let's say you want to check your 7 O'Clock, so you turn your head left, then lean to the right... while looking backwards with TrueView off, your game head will slide left (because to the sensor you are moving to ITS left); with it turned on, your game head will slide right (because it now knows it's looking at the back of your game head and you're sliding to YOUR right..

Do you have Track IR Object Relative Move checked in AH view preferences? I could be mixed up but what I described is easy to see on the TIR setup screen.
