TrackIR?

[Killbilly]

So, how many of you use TrackIR? I've been thinking about taking the plunge (especially since I've started flying helos into tight spots more and more). How does it work for you? Does it decrease FPS at all? Is it better with the hat set-up that it comes with or the headphone setup that costs extra? Does it make you vomit? Most of all, is it worth the money? Thanks for any help.

I have TrackIR 5 (hat clip) I don't have any trouble with lag whatsoever. The immersion factor is pretty neat. Compared to panning with the flight controls, no comparison. The view you have is night and day different. I recommend it. I can't say regarding the headphone configuration as I never tried it.

There is a slight issue with getting it set-up. Nothing to really take away from the experience, but getting it dialed in for range of view, versus smoothness and speed getting there, can get you frustrated. I just reinstalled the software for mine. Thanks for reminding me. All I have to do is get my profile reloaded and I'm good to go.
I was in the same position when I heard about TrackIR. Skeptical. All it took was a little encouragement from a fellow flier, and I went for it. Money well spent.

Best hardware you can add on - once you have it you will not be able to go with out it! My humble opinion!

I bought TrackIR clip several years ago and have never had any problems. When I get really serious about flying I always turn it on. A really must have tool for me. Hope this helps.

It's now 2 years.

NEVER WITHOUT IT.

First thing on, last thing off every flight for me.

It will take some time getting used to, and adjusting and tweaking to get it set for you personally.
That amount of time depends on your likes/dislikes with the turn rates/dead zones.
