This is Interesting Hitech will it work in AH?
« on: October 10, 2002, 08:30:57 AM »
Last night at work I immersed myself in the new issue of computer gamming magazine:D
I came across a product that was rated 4 out of 5 stars and immediately was very interested. The following script is taken from the magazine.
"Flight simmers are an obsessive lot. They think nothing of dropping hundreds on the latest Hotas setup and enormous monitors sometimes several just to give them the feeling they are going mach 2.To those for a passion of simming I have one suggestion get Track IR.
If you play a lot of flight sims the trackIR is definately worth the price.
The device hooks into a usb port and sits behind your keyboard or on your monitor. Move your head to the left and watch the world slide by under your left wing.Tilt your head back and you can get a visual through the top of your canopy on that bogey thats trying to outturn you. You already have a hat switch you say?? Well it cant provide you with the experience of being able to glance down at your instruments and smoothly check your six before lining up a target in your sights, without touching the keypad joystick or mouse"
The price is 119.95 and can be found at http://www.edimensional.com
This article was written by T. Byrl Baker and does not appear in its entireity in this post.
There is a review of this as well and i will attach the url.
Sounds interesting but I ask will it work in AH?
Anyway just thought i would share what i read with you all enjoyhttp://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/review/trackir.htm

Its been tried here before by a couple of people.

It works, but I think the problem is lineing up a good shot, ie Gunnery is a lot harder with it.

Have to play around & get your head in JUST the right position to get the sights to line up. Then you have to get them on the enemy.
