... work great as a replacement for my long time broken TrackIR.

I used Track IR 4 for a few years, but it eventually broke beyond repair 2 years ago 😕

Bought an inexpensive EDTracker Pro ( not sold anymore :-/, but the DIY version is still available 🙂 ) and together with Opentrack

I can pretty much emulate Track IR, without all of the bells and whistles, but still perfectly good for in cockpit, and out of cokpit camera

control !

I would love to know how you managed to break your Track IR - I've had my Pro Track IR for about 5 years now - and many, many times have flung it to the floor in disgust at my flying - and it steadfastly refuses to break.

What's your technique for breaking it?

Track IR is the best - because it just is. Nothing else can touch it.

It's an investment in your immersion in the Sim (like yokes/ rudders, etc) and - I don't know about you - but for me it's worth it.

Anything else it pale imitation.

 

My Track IR finally died after about 10 years, when I switched to MSFS. I decided to order a brand new one, and what a difference in the way it works compared to my original model. It is stable, adjust it once and your done, and the tracking is smooth. I love it. Not cheap, but if it lasts another 10 years, it's really a cheap investment when you consider how much it is used.
