  1. Can everyone interested in Tobii please message Eagke Dynamics about getting integrated support which almost all games have now.
  2. Just to say that MSFS 2020 and 2024 have both native support for Tobii, so no need for OpenTrack or GameHub. Also, I don't have the issue you describe in DCS with OpenTrack. Could be a settings thing. Have you tried GameHub with DCS?
  3. Not quite as good as TrackIR, but not having a hunk of plastic stuck to my head makes up for the small difference. The Tobii is mounted at the bottom of the monitor and it is tilted up.
  4. I never use Tobii for eye tracking. Just always head tracking with no hunk of plastic stuck to my head.
  5. Yep, the mode switch modes 2-5 buttons are 56-79. Buttons 80+ are the virtual buttons for detents, flaps, etc.
  6. Now, that is an excellent idea!
  7. Yep, thanks for that. I accept that producing missions isn't the map makers job, however, it would clearly be in their business interest to make their map as attractive as possible to potential buyers, and half a dozen missions for the top 4 or 5 modules wouldn't be too onerous I would think.
  8. Thanks again. In my experience, 3rd party devs don't tend to add much after release. I've never understood why the map devs don't construct more missions for their maps to make them more attractive to buyers. As mentioned above, South America is the perfect example. I don't know what the sales were like, but I have not used it since the first week I bought it just after release. Missions were promised, but never materialised. A complete waste of £60. It put me off buying any more maps. We're getting OT, so I'll stop now!
  9. I know what you mean! Good to hear.
  10. Thanks Stuart! Hope you're doing OK!
  11. Thanks for that. Are there missions for popular aircraft like Hornet, Viper, F-4E, Tomcat etc.? I don't have any of your examples above (except the unused TF-51 obviously).
  12. I'm thinking of buying this map, but don't want to get stuck in a South Atlantic situation where after several years there are only a few Heatblur missions available. On that map, people said, don't worry the missions will gradually come after release. They didn't. So, can anyone with this map tell me what IA and SP missions there are already on this good looking map? Thanks. (Yes, I know there is ME and there are some User missions to choose from on SA, but that's not the point.)
  13. I presume GT is a typo for GH. IMO, there is no point in using GH with OT. Use either standalone OT or GH. Using OT inside GH means running 2 pieces of software for no real benefit IMO. At the moment, I am switching between the recently released version of GH and OT. The GH is pretty good, I feel. Eye tracking off and camera boost on. Happy to post my settings, but what works for me probably won’t be right for you.
  14. From your point of view, I get what you are meaning, and it works well for you. That is great! However, my point is that eye tracking is not at all 'natural' as you mention often. It works basically the same as head tracking except that you are using your eyes and not your head. When humans look at something within their range of vision with their eyes, their range of vision doesn't change. You can be looking straight at a dial and look at a message in the top left of your vision without leaving the orientation of the dial. In essence, you seem to like using your eyes more than your head for changing your physical vision position, and that's fine, but natural, it isn't! VR is way better from this pov, and I used it for a number of years, BUT, in the end I got fed up with a hunk of plastic being stuck to my head, and for the same reason, I much prefer my Tobii to my TrackIR.
