I have been using Trackir 5 pro for over ten years, and since Trackir was finally killed, a few months ago I started looking for his successor. I found 3 videos introducing Aimxy on youtube, one of which was produced and released by the famous Grim Reapers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87BxAVoE560 The other is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IdYI5BPsXU And a very short demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwVLeAkz_ew The Amazon link is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYKFDWXN You can see many people’s comments on the link I purchased: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X7FQJHZ If you're in Europe, you can buy it here: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0CQNPM7TJ Before buying, I tried some interesting solutions, such as ViewTracker and Beam Eye Tracker on Steam, the mobile app SmoothTrack, and Opentrack's neuralnet, and finally, I even bought a Tobii5. Although they all do not need to wear anything on the head, they all have problems with insufficient accuracy and too much lag. None of them can come close to the experience of Trackir. Finally, I purchased an AimxyZ. After receiving the product, I opened the product’s official website: http://z.aimxy.com Downloaded and installed the software, and adjusted AimxyZ according to Manual. Since I wear glasses, I placed it in the lower right corner of my screen as the instructions suggest. AimxyZ only requires CPU and not GPU. My computer CPU is 12900 without K. When AimxyZ's engine is set to the maximum, Lag will be the least. Then on the Config page, reduce the Smooth of Rotation and Position to 1-2. I feel that my AimxyZ is working like Trackir, but I don’t need to wear anything, and I won’t lose sensing because the head angle is too large. , and the sensing will not be interrupted due to collision between two points of the light holder at a specific angle. In particular, the AimxyZ can be used in darker environments. I only have a low-bright desk lamp turned on in my room, but the AimxyZ works very well without any issues. Because using the camera and starting the software requires an Internet connection, some people may be worried about privacy issues. I did a test according to the plan introduced by others: "I ran Wireshark capture to see if there was anything sending back to the server, but there was none. Which means you can play without the internet as long as you pass the first "validation" process." I really like the feeling of high precision, high sensitivity, and low Lag without wearing anything. Although I am also using VR to play DCS now, I use AimxyZ more often. I sincerely recommend this product to everyone. Disclaimer: I have not received any promotional fees from Aimxy, and they do not seem to have any active overseas marketing plans. I just hope more people can use this fantastic product.

Hello Friends, i just wanted to share with you my thoughts about the main topic about VR and Head Tracking and wanted to see, what do you think about this topic too. I brought the fastest PC you can get, like RTX 4090, i9-13900K, DDR5-6000 MHz, M.2 7000 GB/S etc... But still VR seems not satisfied with it. I use the Quest 2 with LINK and just the optimization stuff took me more than 3–4 months and that was painful enough. Anyway, still after i got the best settings to run DCS very good, i noticed that the game looks very poor, the whole immersion was destroyed. My brother don't have VR, so i was looking for him for some tutorials how he could use Head Tracking in DCS. I found Opentrack and i just started my 30 FPS cheap webcam and tried it. I started DCS and i was like "whaaaat" "serious"... Then i turned all Settings in DCS to max/ultra and started the game again. Then i saw how incredible DCS graphics is and i felt in love with it. The Head Tracking feels 90% like VR and works perfectly and smooth. I just ordered a wide curved monitor 34" and i said to my Quest 2 "... bye bye, Mark Zucki..." My experience last 10 years: For some years i was using TrackIR, and i hated it and i hate it still today. I just hate the clip you have to wear, and i was not satisfied at all. These constantly interruptions drove me crazy. I just can't recommend TrackIR! Then i switched to Tobii 5 and this was good, you don't have to wear any clip or what ever. But in DCS it was going somehow "heavy" for what reason ever. I also noticed, there was a delay like 1 sec. when looking left/right. I played Star Citizen with it, DCS etc... Then i got my Meta Quest 2 and the first time i was like "i am in, i am sitting in a F-18..." then after 10 minutes i got motion sickness LOL... Then i realized, that even the fastest PC on the Market you can get, is not enough. I spend 3-4 months looking tutorials on YT, trying everything possible, and at least i was able to play but of the cost of the beautiful DCS graphics. This was not a good choice at all. Finally, i installed Opentrack with AITrack and a webcam. DCS Settings are maxed out, and the graphics is simply brilliant. Thank you, ED, for this. With my wide curved 34" screen it's hundred times better than VR. I will come back to VR, when i will be able to play DCS the same way and settings as in 2D. For now, VR seems not being made for "heavy" graphics games. TrackIR/Tobii 5 VS Free Head Tracking Software Because i used both, i am able to compare them. I was very surprised how good the free Head Tracking software works. You have not to believe me, but i can say this: TrackIR is the worst product i ever had, the tracking works not very well, and it was painful to look down or left/right because sometimes the clip was out of range. Tobii 5 was much better than TrackIR, but there was somehow a 1ms delay. The other thing, you have to stick the camera with adhesive strips and when you use the tobii 5 for some hours, it will go hot and the tobii just fall down. In DCS i was not satisfied. Imagine that, 250 bucks for such product. Opentrack + AITrack in comparison with TrackIR and Tobii 5 is way better and its free. You just use your webcam or even your smartphone. That's it! It does not matter how i look left/right and up/down, the software works perfect, no issues at all. And i don't have to fix something on my head, or monitor with tape. Just start the Head Tracking and play... Who ever buy TrackIR or Tobii 5 without trying the free webcam software, he is just fooling himself. If you may ask, how TrackIR and Tobii 5 feels, i can tell you this: The Opentrack + AITrack feels exactly the same like TrackIR and Tobii 5, but the free one works way more stable, and it cost you nothing. If you don't believe me, try it. there is no point to buy those expensive craps. By the way, I don't advertise here for Opentrack, i just want to help you save your money and have a better experience in DCS (Star Citizen, MFS 2020...). Conclusion: For those, who repeat the same phrase again and again "i can't play without VR any more..." i was saying the same phrase everywhere, but i was wrong. If you are mad about VR, just dust off your old webcam, install Opentrack and AITrack, set your DCS graphics to max and just enjoy the Game, you will never regret. DCS World has incredible graphics! And please don't buy those expensive TrackIR or Tobii 5 before you try the free Head Tracking software. I came back to 2D through coincidence, and i am just happy about this step "backward".
