Steve,Do you have TIr vector expansion?
hmmm i dont think i have that...I just got TIR 5.0 from amazon for $150. Has the clip that attaches to baseball cap. Another question i have- That seth profile...it doesnt seem to modify the "Speed" and "Smooth" settings in the "basic setting" area. I have those at the default 1 and 10 respectively. Is that ok?

I had the TIR4 a year or more and never bothered with it much. then I heard in here about EZdok and bought it, decided to give the TIR4 a proper go with the TIR5 software and EZDok combined. I also use the Seph Profile and now I have my cap on that much I nearly went to the shop with it on til I remembered to switch caps. I don`t think I`d feel happy flying without TIR4 and EZDok now, even in a real plane. wink.pngsmile.pngSteve

I have had TrackIR for about six years but never became a fan and use it only very occasionally now because I get nausea too. Unlike most other simmers, for me the the trackIR experience is not very realistic at all. Nowadays I find a combination of the hat switch and Ezdok is much more satisfactory and all I need to navigate around the VC.Bruce

Thats why I tried it and sold it 2 weeks later. Now if they come out with a retina scanner I may reconsider. Realisticly your head doesn't move around that extreme. few beers and TrackIr=Vomit tank :)
Agree. Pretty over-rated, and really is not that life like.

Its about 2 years since I got TIR, and Im yet to use it for more than one flight phase at a time. Every few months or so after reading raving reviews, I give it a try with fresh hope...only to disconnect a couple of hours later. I have used Seth's profile, tweaked Seth's profile, tried setting up my own profile but nothing seems to work. I think its a good idea, but as others have said above, its not for everyone. Fidgety people, stay away from it. Or first try free/cheaper alternatives so you can judge if its for you.Sam

I totally 100% agree with you. You are missing out on alot without Track-IR. If i dd not have it (track-ir) id probably quit flightsim altogether.Sort out a good profile and you will be fine.Cheers,Nicholas Boskovic

"It's all a matter of having a tiny bit of patience to set it up properly and getting used to it. Trust me, all of us who use TrackIR on every single flight and who even program the FMC in the virtual cockpit without disabling it or using the 2D panel are having a blast and no problems whatsoever. In fact I could never ever fly without it again. You missed out big time, let me tell you"100% agree ! could'nt fly without TrackIR5 + TrackClipProSeth's profile is a pretty good one. Assigning one of your joystick buttons to the TrackIR5 "center" function, the most commonly used, is very useful. I mainly fly with the "Precision mode smoothing activated" and set to 300.00 (camera tab settings).I do not use EZdok, TrackIR5 is just enough, at least for me

When my track clip pro was broken I simply couldn't get myself to flying! Everything felt so dull and stiff. Obviously TrackIR is not for everybody, but I find myself turning my head in many other games (that don't support TrackIR) and sometimes even in Windows since it has become so natural. I am using the default profile. Before when I was using the hat clip it felt so and so but with the track Clip pro it was a totally new experience.

Set Flight is good, but AOA MD11 TrackiR profile is also good. I use them both sometimesswitch between them.The most important thing with TrackIr, is that you´ll have to have the PAUSE functionvery handy. I have it on the middle mouse by pressing it down. Scrolling with it to zoom out or in.When pressing and dialing a button and knobs, just PAUSE it.I also use it together with the EzDok and they are working flawless together.NOTE! You´ll have to read the EzDok manual what you have to do if also running TrackIR though./ Leffe/ Leffe

I use the Logitech G700 gaming mouse and use the Logitech Setpoint profile software to put the pause and centering on my middle button (push left for centering & push right for pause). All the other buttons i use for my most frequently used EzDok views.

It´s very easy. You do that in TrackIR.On the left side in the middleit says "Hotkeys".........Use the drop down box where it says "Action" and choose Pausethen press the one to the right where it says "Key"......now press the middle mouse.......DONE/ Leffe
