I assumed it was a TrackIR using the GrassMonkey 'puck' as a target. I guess I should have been clearer I named video Track IR 2 separate words. Meaning infra red tracking. I made the video after a lot of simmers said TrackIR was broken in FS2020. I have also used another product called TrackHat. I find the camera and software with the GrassMonkey system works better than TrackHat, though that works well too. I like the battery in the head clamp better than a USB cable and the camera is better at rejecting bright reflections from daylight with the GrassMonkey camera than the TrackHat one. I have never used the TrackIR setup. Sorry for any confusion I caused. Sim on...

I went for the puck as I thought I might make me look less of a dick with the round box on my head rather than square, but the wife says it isn't working! I will not tell you what my wife said when she saw me sitting at my sim with an Aruco marker stuck to my hat lol Now she thinks the puck looks pretty cool 😁 Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |

Yeah TrackIR with the non electrical hat clip needs a low light environment. And the TrackIR headset led unit is wired and inconvenient. The puck (headset led) is battery powered (1 AAA) and convenient. Puck can use with GrassMonkey or TrackIR. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

January 8, 20224 yr Author With either GrassMonkey Puck or TrackIR the camera/receiver should be installed slightly right or left of center on top the monitor (because the LEDs on the headset are also not in the center of your head). Advantage of the puck is it's a flat disc on which you put a little velcro square to attach to headset or headband. So if the LEDs are pointing straight ahead instead of upward at the camera, you can just rotate the disc upward slightly so the LEDs are pointing directly at the center of the camera. Now the camera and headset LEDs are centered with each other in ever dimension. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

The Puck has a twist-on battery cover and the Odyssey has a snap-on battery cover." oh, that is it, okey, haha. I didn't get it 😄 Victor Roos
