Thanks will do that.

ps. Why do you have to press F12 twice. That implies buggy to me.

That is just the way it is I wouldn't call it a bug . After starting a flight you will have to hit it twice but after that you only need to hit it once to center.

Glad I stayed with Track IR . 

 

Both systems have their pros and cons. I switched from Track IR because it seems to be dazzled by bright lights in the back of the room so was unusable for me in the late afternoon when sun was shining in the rear window of my room. So far, this isn't an issue with the Tobii but it's still early days.

I've found both solutions are fussy with placement and setup. The Track IR cam being on top of the monitor can be an advantage in many setups. The Tobii has to be chest level and arms length away which can be challenging in a home cockpit with yokes, and stream decks, etc.  

Not having to wear anything with the Tobii is certainly liberating.

The Track IR seems to offer more control over movement ratios as you have a left and right curve for each individual axis.  But that added flexibility also makes the Track IR more complex to get setup just right. So far adjusting a couple of sliders on the Tobii has me in a good spot.

If I can just sort out this starting head position issue.  I'm not sure why it feels it needs to move my head position to some bizarre spot every time I start the sim. Why can't it just press F12 twice on its own at the start? Why do I need to do that?  And why press it twice?  There's something not working properly here, and it seems most people don't care as there's somewhat of a work-around.

Bottom line is, neither of these products is all that... both need some work.

It sounds like everyone's just accepted this bug 😛

You shouldn't need to press it twice... in fact, you shouldn't need to press it at all. Why does it have to mess with the starting head position at all?  Track IR doesn't bugger with your head position when you load in to the sim! I say it's buggy and needs to be fixed.

I have no issues and it works for me better than track IR. The software is fine. To each his own.

I like your view on things... you have no issues, but you have to hit a button twice after loading into the sim to get into the proper position because you're out of place.  😄

Anyway, I don't know why they don't just fix it.  Hopefully it ends up being net better than Track IR, but as it stands, it's a pain.

Really ?  2 little button presses ?

You only do it once and it's in the correct position from then on.
