I use Track-IR and also undid all my view bindings except for the 6, that way I don't have to crane my head around like a mad man - works very efficiently

As many times as you have killed me, I'm impressed and saddened all at the same time

Same here except I still habitually use both the hat and turn my head. Of course both cancel each other and I'm looking forward again.
Is there really a point to looking back? If someone's back there, they're shooting me down anyways, I don't need to see the violence.

Best time to bust out some evasive maneuvers and turn the fight! I'd hate to make it easy to fill my tail up with hot lead  :rofl

Heck yes, I was kidding but I've had a bit of a hassle transitioning from hat views to TRACKIR and getting them backwards....or forwards in this case.

You can try like a few people have said, remove the hat views except the 6 view. Muscle memory will still have you flicking that thumb all over the place but it wont mess with your views. The 6 view does come in handy to save your neck and maybe get the speed of the transition from view to view a bit slower which can help in keeping view.

Do you also have a button to re-center the track ir view? No matter where you're looking, you just look at the centerl of screen and press button...boom you're back to the 12

I sure do, an absolute must in getting everything righted-especially getting the gun site front and centered again.

I took Fugitives advice this morning and removed all views except six view. It feels a bit strange but it'll be quick to unlearn the muscle memory I think. It frees up 7 spots for various functionality as well.

Just when I get this setup perfected, it'll be time to go virtual I'm guessing. At least I'll know what to hint at for a birthday present from the wife I suppose.

I bought a Meta Quest 3 a few days ago. Had some problems getting the headset to link up with my pc. After scouring the internet for two days I managed to find a solution to my problem. However, I never could get it to hook up with the cable and so far Meta support has sucked. They are friendly though. Anyway, I’m sticking with the TrackIR setup. It’s easier on the neck and looks better. I did like the 3d look of VR but the resolution left little to be desired. Plus there is no fumbling around trying to blindly locate the controllers, etc… using TrackIr. I gave the Quest to my wife.

There was a setting that needed to be enabled on my system preventing the headset from linking with pc. It still won’t link with their $80.00 cable. One would figure in 2024 this stuff would be plug and play. I’m really glad you had a flawless experience. That being said, it ain’t worth the money IMHO.

I use the $25 amazon cable and it works good and charges the headset at the same time

Yeah, I hear the Kiwi brand cables have great throughput.
