Can you turn off the head tracking?  I've tried TIR several times and can't get used to it.  The 3D effect of VR might be fun, but I would want hat-switch views only.

I found VR tracking much more natural than TIR

VR is 1-1 tracking. So just like in your car as you make a turn, you turn you head to look ahead, the same happens in VR. You dont have to "hunt" for a view, you just look. With TIR there was a lot of adjustments to tune it in and many dont bother and just give up. VR is what real life is like, no adjustments. The plus however is in AH, all of the hat position switching works as well.

AH allows jstick views in VR....the only flight sim that does out of the big three

They say a fan might help with any initial motion sickness but I never had any in AH

Just don't move your head all over the place...

As stated it is 1 to 1 in vr, not so in trackir

I’m using Smoothtrack right now on and off and it definitely will take some practice. It’s hard to keep your head still after not having to do so for many years.

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

There is your problem, wearing glasses in VR is not an optimal experience. If you can get a copy of your prescription you can order clip in lenses for your headset.
It is kind of weird for me because I wear glasses and normal life mainly to have readers but in track I are they just get in the way and make everything worse so if you need glasses to quote “read and things like that try it without them. Everything for me is clear and crisp weird maybe because it’s infinity focus

I used Smoothtrack for a couple weeks but my 2016 Iphone wasn't up to snuff. The battery would drain astonishingly fast and the phone itself was getting uncomfortably hot. I don't like phones so I don't want to invest in a new one. So instead, I bought the TRACKIR-5 kit and it works fantastic. I look like a dork with the IR "radar array" attached to the nerd headphones and even more like a Dweeb if I use the hat sensor instead and attach it to my Red Sox cap. I don't care about any of that really except I have forgotten the hat mounted device a couple of times and wore it to play tennis and once to the grocery store. Other than that, it was a breeze to setup and I haven't had to play around with the settings much. It'll be a game changer for me once I unlearn the 8-way hat. I continually forget and mix in the 8-way with head movement for a fine way to lose a target or just get discombobulated. I may undo the all the 8-way bindings except the 6 view and give that a try.

If your distance vision is ok you should not need glasses in vr as it uses distance not near or reading distance

I wear glasses under my vive pro as all my vision is poor...legally blind without correction

If your vision is bad like mine you can order scrip lenses for pretty much any headset. I got mine from Reloptix. If you have bifocals, you don't use that for these lenses.

Tried...

Issues with my script and you have to use the original fresnel lenses that come with the vive pro...both killed that option for me
