Cutting the cord

[Mule]

I've been a Track IR user for more than 15 yrs.Today I needed to replace my monitor cable and after untangling a Hair-a-gami nest of wires I did something I never thought I'd do....I got rid of my Trk IR.After getting my Rift in June I have found I just can not go back to a 2D monitor.

 

I do fly a few other sims,XPlane and IL*2 Sturmovik BOM,The former you can use VR in with the help of a third party add-on,The Latter will implement VR by the end of this month.

 

I remember some 10 yrs ago when I was without Track IR after my first one broke and I was waiting for new one to ship,I remember trying to fly without it....I just couldn't do it,It felt so unnatural panning around viewpoint with my joystick...No head movement,no immersion.It just amazes me that something that was so important to my flight sim experience has completely fallen by the wayside. That's Progress I guess. :thumbup:

 

Exactly the same experience even with my first track ir breaking.

Thank you so much for the offer! I'm in the US, however, but if I'm ever in the area, I'll shoot you a PM! Same goes for you if you ever come across the pond to Maryland. I'm hoping to build my pit in the next few years, and I expect there will be some kind of VR integration solution for it by then. I must eventually have both :joystick:
