January 16, 20179 yr TIR also for most flight. Especially useful for VFR flight to do pattern work. PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...
January 16, 20179 yr 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.
January 16, 20179 yr It's a faulty question - TrackIR (and its knock-offs) solve a problem that there is currently no other satisfactory solution to. MarkH https://www.youtube.com/@AlmostAviation AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / 64Gb DDR5 / Zotac RTX 5070 Ti / 2560 x 1440 display
January 16, 20179 yr 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 Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS

January 16, 20179 yr 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.

January 17, 20179 yr Would literally give this hobby up if my TrackIR broke and they no longer made them. Totally 100% essential for simming for me.

January 18, 20179 yr Commercial Member 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. http://jacky.brouze.ch/Programmes/JAB_FSX/index.php 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. Clutch Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)
