Framerate for TrackIR?

[geoffco]

Hi folks,Just looking for some advice from people who are using TrackIR...I usually use 2D panel views and occasionally the VC - can TrackIR be set up to switch between 2D views by head movements? I know it is designed for use with the VC view but some of my favourite planes don't have a VC!Also, I get 22 FPS in flight and at normal sized airports but at larger airports with a bit of traffic or detailed scenery it can drop to 12-16 FPS - would the TrackIR still be able to function reasonably under these conditions (and indeed does it reduce the FPS itself?)Cheers for any info...Geoff

Personally I can't enjoy my sim with a FPS lower than 20 or 18. With 12 - 16 FPS I don't think you can expect very smooth movements in VC, with or without trackIR. But I guess it also has to do with the design of a partically addon's VC and gauges.I've given up on addon sceneries and have been using only the best FPS friendly AI models. A combination of both with the wrong ingrediences can kill performance on any computer.Jason
