Roll enabled.

FTR, when I first got TrackIR, I had the same problem with my forward view being to low in the cockpit.  My profile was a copy of Latrobes with Brakhorn's tweaks.  I also have Center and Puase mapped to my joystick which is has proven extremely helpful in a dogfight.

As I Always said, TrackIr is as personal as your choice of undies.... A good base to start is important and then you fiddle it to your own.

On topic, I have only roll axis disabled as it does not seem to add anything to me. Speed is 0,4 and smooth 45. Precision smooth is 75.

I have a TrackIr 4 since 2005 and still works perfect, even with 5.2 software.

I noticed a big improvement in the precision of the tracking when I changed from the passive-reflector TrackClip to the active-LED TrackClipPro.  I seem to have far less "crosstalk" between the axes now.  External lights and reflections have less impact.  And with the simple clip, my TrackIR often lost its mind and had me staring either straight up or straight down.

As for the profile, I'm lazy.  I use a copy of the default, with all 6 axes enabled.  I do, however, have both the TrackIR "center" and "pause" commands mapped to buttons on my CH Throttle.  I often pause and re-center just before firing.  In concert with the AH view zoom control I have mapped to a hat switch on my CH Fighterstick, it models my moving my eye up close to the gunsight.

YMMV

(As much as I love my TrackIR, I plan to move to an Oculus Rift as soon as I can.)

Regarding the rift, I have serious doubt it ever will get into PC game's. With FB having cut a deal with Samsung as a sort of exclusive arrangement I have a really bad feeling about this.
