I just played microsoft flight sim 2004, i understand what blauk is getting at now. i really like the set up they have there, i think thats what tir was intended for, and it works great!
The trick is to move your torso first then do the paning, im sure ill get it down better with time, this is a much more emersive way to have it set up, and less frusturating.
how htc has it set up you have to do your paning first then do your torso movement, i find this doesnt work so well for me, its more intuative for the new user or previouse track ir user maybe, but is limited in how far you can go with it. Once your to the xyz position you desire you cant pan withought losing your position.
Both set ups are valid, both should be suported. and im sure they will be soon. Htc can only juggle so many things at once tho.
