I also refuse to fly (or drive) without it. Been using TiR since round 2006. Last year my beloved device broke (my bad) and I immediately ordered a new one (v5): I didn't fly until I had it installed. I really seriously can't imagine flying (or driving) without it...!!!

I do own a Rift but it is gathering dust. I hate the low resolution but I also don't like the weight on my head and above all (very personal!!!) it seems to induce migraine (again, that's just me!). I also quite often felt somehow detached from the real world while using it and also after using it. All in all the current gen VR devices aren't my cup of tea. I prefer TiR all the time!!! 

Another tip for new users: do not place the Track IR device in the middle of your monitor (as most people seem to do at first) but make sure it's placed exactly opposite of your tracker on your head. If you have the TiR in the middle of the monitor you will easily lose connection with it when you look left (if you wear the tracker left). So if you wear (for instance) the Track Clip Pro on the left side of your head, put the TiR also on the left side of the monitor, as directly opposite as possible to each other (or however you say that in English...).

Me too I refuse to fly without it.   Josh

Well okay, for those who use 'Track Clip Pro'. I would venture that a better tip for newcomers is to try it with the passive (hat) clip first. This works perfectly well as long as you take some care with the lighting conditions and it means you don't need wires.

I have a window directly behind me, but TrackIR is fine with the passive clip as long as I close the blinds (or it’s dark😁) and turn down the camera sensitivity. 

Also an adept of track IR. Fit perfectly with my surround 3 screens. I recently moved the camera to the bottom of the screen which give me a better response when I lean toward the instrument panel to read small characters or placards. Over time i made slight adjustment to the profile including:

- an asymetric profile for the X axis so it move laterally rapidly when i move slightly my head toward the right. This allow me to visit the copilot position rapidly. Left movement is much less accelerated and bring me near the left window more naturally.

- a dead zone on the Z axis so when i rotate my head left, it does not interpret this movement as a move forward simultaneously with the rotation wich annoyed me a long time before i made this adjustment.

- Quick acceleration at the end of the movement to allow access to any portion of large cockpit.

Very pleased with this result combined with Chaseplane that have several specific views for overhead or to adjust radios,  fms and xpdr with track IR disabled for those actions.
