dresoccer4 Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Looking to get a Track IR system as it sounds like it pairs well with DCS. Couple questions for anyone that knows. How old is the current TrackIR 5 system? Anyone know if a TrackIR 6 is on the way? Any better systems than TrackIR for DCS? Thanks!

rob10 Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 TIR 5 has been around for quite a while now (5+ years anyway), but my guess is there isn't a 6 around the corner. TIR is expensive but it works out of the box, that's why I like it. If you go to the "Input and Output" subforum on here there are discussions of the various alternatives and you'll get a better idea of the pros and cons of them. 2

Tshark Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 I tried this and it is one of the best for tracking.

Nothing worse than paying full price for a gadget which then releases a new version a month later Acer Predator Triton 700 || i7-7700HQ || 512GB SSD || 32GB RAM || GTX1080 Max-Q || FFB II and Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle || All DCS Modules
No1sonuk Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 I got this (UK source), and it works really well in DCS and Elite: Dangerous using the Opentrack software - https://delanengineering.com/shop/#!/DELANCLiP™®-Gamer-Complete-Kit-Wired/p/43397050/category=68198003 They have different options too. e.g. Wireless head clip: https://delanengineering.com/shop/#!/DELANCLiP™®-Fusion-Complete-Kit-Wireless/p/241172148/category=68238008 1
