is TrackIR old school in 2017 ?

TIR also for most flight. Especially useful for VFR flight to do pattern work.

as someone thats used oculus rift. i am gonna give my honest opinion. yes vr is amazing, but it's simply not ready software wise or hardware wise for our flight sims. i would say there is nothing old school about track ir at all.i sold my oculus rift because i bought it thinking i was only gonna own it for flight simming. if you are buying vr just for flight simming, you will be disappointed. our hardware just isn't there yet.i plan on buying a track ir, i was so used to moving my head around that i feel like i need track ir.

It's a faulty question - TrackIR (and its knock-offs) solve a problem that there is currently no other satisfactory solution to.

There was some additional plug-in I found for it that disables it automatically whenever I am outside the aircraft and kicks back in when inside the cockpit. Nice find and it still works in P3D.

Can you tell us what that plugin is please?!? Cheers K

When someone does a survey that shows 9 out of  10 VR users commit mass shootings and TIR users committed none...Then we'll see... :wink:

Very funny Ron!

 

How do I avoid knocking my cup of tea over when wearing VR goggles? Eating a packet of potato crisps at the time was a disaster...

TrackIR = FA-18... VR = F35

through a screen door at half horizontal resolution…

 

… When the VR resolution becomes 1920 x 1080 ×2, I will instantly release the funds that I put aside from the sale of my OR present from Palmer Lucky for being an OR plank-owner, and purchase one...giggling like a kid with his first train set.

 

Regards to all,

Would literally give this hobby up if my TrackIR broke and they no longer made them.   Totally 100% essential for simming for me.  Haven't flown once in around 10 years without TrackIR.

Hi Kevin,

 

I was afraid someone was gonna ask that, ha! :smile:

 

So it looks like a little app I got back in 2007 called JAB_FSX, named after the developer Jacky Brouze.  Looks like more of a little "toolbox" with a few apps and TRACKIR is one of them.

The website is French so you can open with Chrome and use the translation to English option if you need to. 

 

Free d/l... nice little app.
