i have tested both track ir 4 an 5 an it seems track ir 4 has a FSX profile but Track IR 5 runs pretty good with "Seth - Flight" . One thing also to make sure is to get your EzDok Track Ir setting right. When i had the problem with track Ir 5 i didn't know which to turn to for the problem.

I run a modified Andy digital profile on my tir5.. Modified by removing the pause at center screen.. Building a new PC now so I've got basically a blank slate and 2 days off to do it..

No it's completely different from the original. Saved me loads of time which I could dedicate to getting my DX10 settings just right :) still a bit of work to do their :)

I really only use Eyefinity with Flight, coupled with TIR it's truly awesome.

 

I'm about 3 feet away and the receiver is level. The vid was taken before I got TIR. As for the lights un FSX at night, thanks for the info. I'll just use it for daytime flights. :)

 

Hmm it's interesting but I don't like it because it's not realistic to me... from my experience in light aircraft, the FOV is much much smaller than the span of those three monitors. It would be a good compromise for someone who doesn't have TIR though.... as panning with the hat switch isn't realistic and can even be frustrating at times.

I just got my Track IR5 yesterday and I must say its gonna take some time getting use to in the VC for me. I have downloaded the Seth-Flight profile and set it for FSX but quite frankly can't tell the difference between it and the default profile. Is there any other settings to adjust? This is definitely better than panning with a hat switch but looks like i am going to be spending countless hours tweaking this thing especially when connected with EzDok.

Yea, it's weird at first.. I imagine it's like the black hawk pilots learning to use one eye on the helmet screen... Soon you'll catch yourself turning your head, but not your eyes, to view stuff in RL.

 

It's amazing though... in a couple weeks you wont even notice, and it'll be completely natural feeling.

Can you share this profile? This is the only thing I don't like about this profile, the pause at center of screen.

The pause or null at the centre is there to give your neck a rest, without it you have to keep your head very still when trying to manipulate stuff in the VC with a mouse and your neck will start to ache pretty quickly with it setup like that.

 

Give this new profile below a try it's completely rebuilt and is made for FSX primarily and the nulls are smaller. I have disabled Roll mode completely in this profile as it makes looking down to the left and right a lot more accurate and less likely to gimble lock (stick) as I call it.

 

I sit about 60cm away from the TIR camera with this profile but it should still work fine closer than this.

One other point Trueview is disabled in this profile too as I use it with EZdok Camera, if you don't use that program then place a tick in the Trueview box.

Our FOV is around 180 deg and I have the end monitors angled inwards at about 10 deg. Since making the vid I've also changed the cockpit zoom to be more realistic. The camera lens however gives a much narrower FOV so the view is nothing like sitting in front of the monitors. When coupled with TIR the view is very much like being in the cockpit of your plane or car and is very immersive, especially when your TIR profile is one that suits you.

 

in FSX when flying through clouds I have been known to duck and it's very realistic having flown through them in RL. I also have an airsickness bag handy just in case lol.

I guess what I was getting at is with your eyeballs you don't see 180 degrees in the cockpit....you'll get close to that with peripheral vision but the clarity isn't the same. My focused fov is around 90 degrees, and I'd move my head a little (or my eyes) to adjust that in a real plane.

 

Your setup is like my friends'... it can definitly give a sense of motion I think I got a little motion sickness when I first used it but the feeling went away quicky hehe. I think it would be better in a OLED or projection-based wraparound situation. There's a small simulator in the flight school below our tower, doesn't have any motion but I tookoff and reached for the firewall feeling like I was actually flying... then I realized my chair was still parallel to the floor lol!

Sure thing... Send me a Private Message with your e-mail address and I'll get it out within the next 48 hours.

Yeah, I get you now. The way I've designed it is the monitors are at a distance that is just beyond what a normal windshield would be at. It's all a compromise when you don't have a real plane to get into lol. And glad you agree with the motion awareness hehe it's so cool.

Tell me about it the only one problem when i press pause is that after few second it set back to the default position . I think i have set correct some settingin the Ezdok track ir setting am wondering what can it be.

I think you have to right click on the TIR button in the EZ console and it takes you to a special menu where one of the options allows you to adjust the time allowed to pass before EZdok resets the camera view to its preset home position. You can even turn it off altogether so the view stays where you paused it.

Thanks a lot for sharing it. I will give it a try. I exclusively use your original profile and was wondering how to get rid of the pause in the center but now that you mention it, it is probably a good thing. Hopefully my previous comment did not come across as negative one. It was not my intention.

Thanks once again for the contribution to the hobby. :-)
