TrackIR 2.0 is out, with specific sim support. AH is not among them.

Yes i.e in favour of trackIR support in Aces High :cool:

BTW it does not give you a stiff neck and sour shoulders even after hours long use but you must use proper setup which is easy to find out.

If any of you have IL2 version 1.2, i made a track 25 mins long to give an idea of how i look around with it. Looking around didn't cost me any trouble whatsoever.

Think about it, it can be like that in AH as well

IL2-Forgotten Battles has dedicated trackIR support and it's suppossed to be rather amazing. No loss of centre and more control over panning, smoother etc.

IL2 - Forgotten Battles is amazing with the enhanced support.  I've posted this question about Aces 2 supporting it in the Aces 2 forum and no response there either.  My guess is that it is far down the list of priorities so they don't want to come out and say "yes it will have it".  My personal take on it is that I already have a hard time going back to normal hat switches after playing FB for a while and going into Aces.  It's so much better I can't even describe it enough here...

Would be nice if someone from HTC could tell us if it appears anywhere on the to do list for AHI or AHII, most of the work is done in regards to the mouselook already being in the sim.

OK add another Track IR user to the user request list.
And if anybody has worked out the best way to use it in AH please tell.

do you have to swivel your head or can you just shift to the side a little?  I don't like the idea of turning my head while looking out of the corner of my eye at the monitor.

Sancho the software that comes with the trackIR lets you shape the mouse axis so you can make it more or less responsive as needed anywhere on the axis. You don't need to turn your head that far to pan it right around to get a six view. In IL-2:FB which has native trackIR support (which is absolutely amazing) I use a combination of a little lean and also a small turn of my head to give me and over the shoulder view, not only does it allow me to have more precise control by not having to alter the mouse axis much but also feels quite realistic to lean slightly then look much as you would in RL.

I could tell, but then i'd have to kill you afterwards. :p

All kidding aside, imo the best way to use it in AH would be that it gets native trackIR support from the Hitech guys. So trackIR not longer functioning as a mouse emulator but completely independant from mouse movement.

I can set it up in mouse emulation mode in AH but for some reason it's jerky, totally not smooth :(

Strange thing is, i don't remember it being jerky the first time i tried trackIR with it in an older AH version. Was very fast and very smooth. So if anyone has any trackIR setup tips for AH it would be appreciated.

P.S. Cav, why are you still using that 214th prefix? hehe
