I didn't say it didn't follow your head, I said when looking OVER THE SHOULDER (backwards) it moves in the opposite direction.

I do know in SU4 thr tobii options were limited and if you looked left then tried to move towards the left side window the view moved forwards towards the front unlike an option you can enable in TrackIR. SU5 Beta fixes this so I can easily look out the left or right windows and lean towards the left or right window by leaning towards it as you would IRL I specifically said when looking backwards, a move used often when flying VFR.

March 30Mar 30 Well, I left TrackIR long ago when my device stopped working and they were asking me almost the price of a new one for a repair... No way ... Then for a while I used EDTracker Pro (EDTracker Pro + Opentrack... - Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024) - The AVSIM Community) and finally, recently when I was no longer using this last solution I purchased Beam Eye Tracker from Steam, and it's, so far, my preferred solution EVER! including more than what I recall from using TrackIR.

I think this is what MrBitsFlyer means... with a Tobii on SU4 (no Opentrack), when I look over my left shoulder then move my head to the right (as if to press my head against the window looking aft) the view in the sim moves my head to the left (reversed). Opentrack and TrackIR have an option to correct this.

Because I look out the window over my left shoulder, then look back and I see nothing abnormal. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 96GB DDR5 | 4K G-Sync | Win11 Pro

Is that still the case? Because that kills it for me. Exactly... freezing your current position only works with Chase Plane... it's a shame. Edited March 30Mar 30 by Epikk Best regards, Fritz ESSONO

TrackIR doesn't suffer with this flaw. For me, Tobii is no good for any sim because of that. If you only ever look forward, then I guess its fine! Yes true. Track IR is/feels more "natural" when looking other your shoulder... Best regards, Fritz ESSONO

With Tobii if you look over your shoulder and then try to move your head laterally (phycally as if you're tryin to put your face to the side window in the sim) you'll move to the opposite direction... TIR doesn't do that and it's more natural... Not sure my explanation is ok... Best regards, Fritz ESSONO

April 3Apr 3 I saw that Tobii was on sale 15% off so I went for it, looking forward to some non headphone head tracking! With my desk/monitor setup I also bought a small tripod and the tripod adapter so I’ll need to do some fiddling to get that going but I’m happy to have this heading my way. I prefer simming without headphones so never bothered using my TrackIR with MSFS very often.
