Title: Trackir 4 pro with trackclip pro.
Post by: lyric1 on November 13, 2008, 09:08:12 AM
I purchased this unit & trying to work out all the kinks. At the moment I seem to be having issues with the rear view similar to a post Lusche had done about the f4u problems.  My issue is that all the planes with a rear head plate I cant peer around,over like I could with the toggle buttons. Now I can press f9 that locks in my view & I can use the toggle switches that gives me back the ability to look around the head plate but I have to press f12 to get track Ir to work again. So are my issues because I have a new version of track Ir & the game is not yet updated to it or am I just doing something wrong?

When forward, lean forward a bit then recenter. That will give you bigger distance from headrest when turning your head around to look back.

It helps marginally but nothing compared to going back to using toggle switches.

Make sure you have your software updated fully because the profiles that ship with the product and the drivers were not as good as the latest versions. I had to do some scaling of each axis to turn the sensitivity down.

As you would in real life, lean over to either side then look back. That should give you excellent view to the rear from beside the headrest.  ;)

Excellent that worked out well. Not at first though forgot to activate the trackclip pro. Thank you very much for that I owe you one.

Just another note, the hat switches will (or used to) override the TrackIR views.  I knew of a few people that had only one view programmed to their stick, the rear.

Yes they do thanks.

After about a month using the TrackIR I removed the view mappings on the stick, something I later discovered you really want to keep for vehicles.

Yup, I just got my TIR4+ClipPro last night.  Holy smokes!  Very sweet thing indeed, but discovered after 30 seconds in a GV that I'll be disabling the TIR when GVing.

Yeah, it becomes obvious as you step into one I just don't drive GVs very often. :)

For GV's i just disable it when i'm inside driving or gunning.  If i'm topside machine gunning i'll turn it off and on depending on what i'm doing.  The only view related things i have mapped are enable/disable and center.

The hardest thing i had to deal with when i got my TrackIR was what to do with all those extra switches i had left over!  :devil

I am running Track IR4 with the free Track IR 5 software.  I found I was having problems because my Trackclip pro was not straight forward.  I bought a SoundBlaster Tactic 3D headset to get a better mounting (and because I did not win a pair at the convention).

use black electrical tape to hold the trakir to headset, when the headset is too big.  mine is taped  I also taped the wire just in case.
