I got mine directly from Naturalpoint. As I recall no one had it any cheaper, but that was a few years ago so I would shop around.

Not I, but it's nothing to do with the trackIR, among other things I just suck.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

When you set enough deadband it's the same as shooting with hat views.

LOL!! I've been doing this for over 10 years and have NEVER had a hit % over 10.

LOL even when I flew with a hat switch I never got close to a 10% hit ratio. Of course I've never been shy about sending rounds down range trying for the snap shot or to get people to turn either.

Yes.

Track IR only had a negative impact on shooting in planes without reflector gunsight. With one, it's not worse and probably even better at times.

I use the over nose view (page up) a lot and was not able to adapt to track ir...also I couldn't deal with becoming a noob allover again so I just quit...I have squaddies that claim that trackir will enable you to take shots you couldn't before, I am very sceptical of that, hence my inquiry.

I've only just started using it and as I have an ok shot  ;),  I can see how it effects gunnery but some suggestions have been made to centre the gunsight before firing which helps if your dead 6,

A question is why does the trackir software lock down the page up function in game to minimal movement, yet allows hat switches to work simultaneously?  For now the fix is to turn off track ir momentarily, whilst making said impossible shot and then back on again.

Have you tried scaling the up/down axis and recentering?

The big advantage I have found is speed at which you can find the bad guy and following someone that is trying to dive in on you.  You sweep your full canopy with ease and without that snap view.  Kind of like padlock pan view.

I am still having troubles getting a consistent 6 view looking around the head rest but I am close and just need to spend a little more time fine tuning.  It has got me shot down a couple of times when I could not get to view.

Anybody using the "Limit" tic?  I kind of like it since it seems to prevent an over shoot on the 6 view.

You can adjust the scaling so that just a little stretching of your neck will give you that over the nose view.

You can also set the TrackIR with a limit on how far around your head will go. For example, when I look up, I set it so I cant look up and farther than 100 degrees or so from center, or when I look side to side my virtual head doesnt twist any further than 180 degrees. This way I dont feel like someone from the exorcist and everything feels very natural, well mostly.

I have a small dead band in the very center of my view for all axis. Makes it much easier to aim, and I dont get dizzy from my virtual head constantly moving, because it doesnt when it's in that dead spot.


As far as would I buy it again? Absolutely. I accidentally broke my pro-clip one day and I didnt fly for a week and a half while I waited for the new one to come in, simply because flying without it  just doesnt feel right anymore. Well, that and my HAT is used for trim now, not views.

The SA it gives you is unmatched from anything the HAT views will give you, and it makes tracking your target very easy if it is set up correctly.
