No support for TrackIR !?

Featured Replies

I would think TrackIR is almost a given since FSX and so many other games support it.  It is likely much easier to implement than VR and the installed user base is probably much larger due to it being around for a long time and the significantly more affordable price point.

So many Flight sims and Racing sims support TrackIR, it seems fairly certain MSFS will support it too.  TrackIR has been around a long time and is magnitudes less expensive than setting up a VR system, so I expect it's user base to be much larger than VR.

Any mention of VR in this forum is not allowed.  Not sure why VR is being brought up again but it was stated earlier in this topic that VR will not be discussed here.  There's a separate forum for those discussions.

My bad, I didn't read the entire thread. I got no dog in that fight, I think everyone should use what they want, was just making a cost comparison not flaming. ☮✈

This is what word/initials not allowed was designed to do.  It is a sub-forum of this forum and cost comparisons should be discussed there.  AVSIM is only trying to keep the peace here in "this" topic and forum.

TrackIR will work. It's needs no effort to make it work so why they shouldn't support it?

I was wondering how to do that without violating an NDA. 😄

Good to hear this. Wasn’t sure if I’d be able to pilot anything without this...

I for 1 am very happy
