Just bought a trackIR package w/vector expansion....
Wondering how long it'll take before I fall out of the chair / puke or throw it against the wall....?
HT said it made him ill writing the code for it...
Anyone have horror stories? least there's a 30-day money back warrenty...lol
-
i think octavius said it took a good month before he was comfortable with it for 2+ hours on end
-
lol i saw a film that octavious made with trackir. It looked cool as hell.
the only thing i woul hate about it is having to wear that stupid hat. i get enough crap from my girlfriend for saying "roger" or "slapshot check your six!!!" which is why i dont use vox now. I get yelled at for being too loud while shes watching TV. If i got that thing with the hat the flow of watermelon i'd get would be endless.
-
Get the hat Morph. :)
-
or better yet - get your GF to stand behind you nude with the 3 sticky dots strategically placed, then holler out view directions for her to contort to :)

Morph, the Kroger checkout lady said that'll be $124.76 and I said roger. She knew her name was Karen and it fugged her up.:D

You can stick the little circle thing to yr forehead or failing that to yr mic and place the sensor thingy below your monitor - ie on yr desk - works well.
Make sure you set your view to a single point for all views otherwise it gets weird.

Paint it silver and tell everyone you dont want the government spy-mind reading satellites to know what your doing (same goes for hats, helmets, etc)

The Vector expansion requires three dots in a sort of triangular configuration. The plastic thing that they sell to you has the three dots and it clips to the brim of a baseball cap.
Also, with vector, you can move forward and backwards and side to side, so the saved head position is not an issue...

haha yeah right. If she was behind me nude i sure as heck wouldnt be logged in to Aces High.

LOL I've said roger a few times on the phone... Most of the time its when im playing AH and on the phone at the same time. It usually slips past them and they dont say anything. But when they do they ask me who the hell im talking to lol.

LoL, yesterday my GF was pulling out of the drive way and a car was coming that she didn't see. I told her without thinking to chk 6 LOLOLOL. Luckily when she looked at me like as if I was a retard she saw the car. I've also used PWN3D, cc and lamer without meaning to also:D
-
LOL!!!:lol :lol :lol

Waffle,
If vector mode does eventually make you queezy, try dot tracking mode. It will pull your 6 view from your saved views file. In vector mode you may not like some of your rear views and the body and neck contortions to make them work. But it does give you that zoom, and up and down feature which helps you get around the canopy stringers view blocking when you look left and right on some planes.

Never had that effect on me at all.
Just get tired of staring at my crotch in some planes.
-
What are you guys talking about?
Sorry but I don't know what this TrackerIR/Expansion thing is.
-
I think Ren asked in another thread...
How many people using TrackIR would recomend it?
Is it really usable or a novelty?
Does it enhance game play or just make it different and bring in motion sickness? :D
-
That's the fun part Pongo. :) And with the new plane renovation, crotches will be modelled!
--------
Sadly, when I made that video, it was probably the peak of my TIR experience. I rarely use it anymore... mostly because haven't been flying more than twice a month lately :p. I just noticed the fan films were temporarily removed from naturalpoint's video section.
The last TIR3 software release screwed my movements big time. I learned on the older software that was included (the stuff from December of 04), and the 'newer' tracking feels vastly different. My old profile is barely compatible. I just need to take the time adjusting to my liking. Took me almost two weeks to get it right the first time.

Use it, love it, but man it was 4 months of pure hell to convert my flying etc.. to TIR VECTOR.
Tiger changed his swing after being at the top of the game... it took him awhile to work it out, and it will take you a while too.

I used CC with my boss and a customer on a conference call this afternoon. Boy did it throw them into a loop. After all the customer was telling us about a problem he was having with the current supplier and what he wanted from us as the new supplier.

Use it and love it.
However; it's prolly still costing me deaths as I still don't have an optimal set up.
That said; I wouldn't consider a sim that didn't support it.
