TrackIR Question???

To answer some questions:

A little up or down is just fine. 6 inches will be no problem.

It is very easy to install, but it will take time to get your muscle-memory working in your neck instead of your thumbs when it comes to views. You'll probably also be dissatisfied with any generic profile and will want to spend an evening making your own.

I would never have bought my track IR (I won it in a contest), but now that I have it, I would never go back, and I'd buy another one if it broke.

Can't play without it !!!!

Been playing for over 8mths now.
At first I was gettin sick to the stomach / nauseated....

Now I can't play without it !
Easy to install and many of ur questions will be answered on this web site !

My neighbor also plays the game and doesn't have the TRACKIR.
When I sit beside him and watch him play(fly/drive GV) I don't know how he does it ! I'm twisting my head(reflects) wanting to see behond the monitor while he needs to hit/activate hat switches !

I believe its a good investment !

Go for it !

Owl,
I was looking for a good profile for AH back a few months ago and Mace was kind enough to post his.  I use it still and have modified it only slightly.  You might like it too.  Here is the thread:

Yes, I use Mace's profile and like it very much.  He turns off the head tilt dimension which at first I didn't think I would like but very much prefer it that way now.  The only adjustment I made was to flatten things out just slightly around the center.  Out of all the profiles I've tried and devised myself, I like his the most.

Hey I got it and like it iam not using yet the profile of mace just cause i like to see how it work out of the box.

the only problem I have is looking back at my 6. when i look left is almost ok a little confusing on the direction i have to move cause is inverted. but when I look to my right I almost look and feels like iam leading to the left, so iam looking at the seat and 2 is weird the direction I have to mive cause is invertet.

Any sujection you have on how to deal with this let me know.

And also and hotkeys or preference U use share it.

CrazyOwl,
If your "6 view" is inverted, you may have "TrueView" selected in your profile.  I advise turning that off.  I recall that it inverts the view to the rear which really confused me.  

Also, Aces High has an option in Preferences->View Options->TrackIR Object Relative Move

I recommend turning that off too.  I don't even remember what it does exactly but I found it very confusing.

Here are my hotkeys.  I find them to work well across the three games I play (AH, MSFS X, Falcon 4).

Pause     ALT CTRL Y
Center    ALT CTRL X
Precision ALT CTRL Z
