I would use the search function but it's horrible...
So track IR. Is it as amazing as it looks and is it fairly intuitive to setup? If you can afford it, is there any reason NOT to buy it?
-
You will go through some initial adjustment but once you are used to it you will wonder how you ever flew without it.
VR might be an option to consider as well. I do not have experience of VR as yet.
-
Not PnP but give it time. The key is setting it up and getting use to that.
Once you get use to the setup, when you turn your head a little to look back, your mind will be convinced you are turning fully and looking back although your eyes are still glued to the monitor.
Start off using just the x and y then add in the z then the roll. Experiment with the curves and the speed slider a lot.

It's some work to set it up, but I would not fly in any computer flight sim without it.
-
Ordered! I can't wait to use it, the videos on YouTube look amazing.
Any other out of the box tips are thing you wish you did differently when you first setup yours?
Thanks!

There is some good profiles on the forums
If you dont use track ir your a girl
-
Where is best sub to find the profiles? This or help and training?
-
Here are the ones I have collected from the boards. I think there are 14 different profiles in the zip file. Unzip them and drop them into your profiles folder. When you start TrackIR, under profiles you'll have the list. I renamed them to who ever was the donator/builder of the profile.

Unzipped and dragged them into my profile folder. Open track IR and they haven't populated. Only see "default", "One:One" & "Smooth".
Any tips?

Do you get any carry over into real life. Like when you check your cars blindspots? I said "roger" to a dentist's receptionist the other day.

Disregard, I found the correct save location. It has to be through appdata. Also, the Gw...profile appears to be corrupted.
-
It is awesome
Will send profile if required

Glad you got it figured out. I seem to remember Fess or someone saying the folder was in a different place in Win10.

Man this thing is COOL! Definitely need to do some tweaking, my neck is killing me!
So one issue I am having is my rear view. If I use hat switch I am able to then move the eye line around to a optimal "check six" location and F10 save, however when I look backwards with the Track IR engaged I am basically face up against the rear headrest. Any tips?
-
Just fiddle with the curves so that they're more vertical. That way you don't have to move your head so much. And adjust the speed too. You'll find something that works for you---eventually.
I'm still fiddling with TIR. Been a couple of years now.

For looking back, turn then lean, or lean then turn. If you do them together then it can lead to a less than great rear view. Once you get used to it it is instant and feels natural.

profile sent, enjoy..
hope it helps
Its good to set up a center button on your stick, so when you are sitting in your best place you center the trackir, like F12 when you are in the Trackir program, also a trackir off and trackir pan( think its pan) are good to set up on your stick so you can turn it on and off in game , if and when you want to.all done in game.

Don't tell him how to get a rear view unless he sends us all $50 :rofl

Fun fact- F12 also works ingame, as does F9 to turn TrackIR on and off.
The main thing is, learn to adjust the curves and get your profile how you want it. Head tracking is the single most personal thing in the game IMO, way more than joystick settings. I find if some part of my profile is bugging me, it never really gets better until I fix it. YMMV.
My profile is aggressive. For gunnery rather than having an on/off switch for TrackIR, I prefer to just have dead space in the middle where you've got a bit of leeway and don't need to have your head exactly centered to put it in the gunsight. I've probably got about 3/4" or so of dead zone for my head before my x, y, z, pitch, and yaw kick in.
To be honest I could likely disable my y and z axes and not notice. My chair almost immobilizes my shoulders so I do most of my movement just sideways to look around the canopy.

I think I have this sucker figured out. What I did was chose an axis, let's saw yaw. I move my head to what I think is the maximum amount I would be comfortable moving it in game and for an extended period of time. Note where the red line is and then adjust to curve to 180 degrees from there.
Really enjoying it, track IR rocks and is well worth the money.

Well worth the money :old:
Dont have mirrors or reflections behind you it affects tharck ir
