ArtMan_NL Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 Beer of course :drink: Thanks guys. Is it better to buy a trackir5 then a trackir4? Is it the extra money worth? Arthur
S77th-konkussion Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 If you must choose- choose track. Get pedals when you can, though [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]

EtherealN Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 That's an awesome pedal. :D I'm a bit torn on what to recommend of the two, though. TrackIR really is awesome, but on the other hand a set of good pedals do so much for precise flying. It ends up being a choice between spending on Situational Awareness or on flying control, and that's not easy.

ArtMan_NL Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 OK Guys, Someone experience with trackIr 4 and trackir5? Is trackir5 worth the extra money? Arthur
159th_Viper Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Running TrackIr 4/TrackClip Pro here with TrackIr 5 Software and whilst I do not have On-Hands Experience with TrackIr 5 Hardware, I'll be Buggered if If I can justify the extra $50 Price-Tag. TrackIr 4 does the Job well for me :) Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

EtherealN Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 TIR5 has a wider field of view though, hasn't it? This might be worth giving some consideration if your computer desk is placed in such a way that you will have to sit pretty close to it. If you have a bit of distance to your screen it is very difficult to accidently end up outside the TIR4's field of view, but if you (like me) have to be a bit too close to the screen it can sometimes become annoying - especially when moving the view closer to look at a particular instrument. But I haven't actually tried a 5 (though I do run the TIR5 software) so I can't make a complete comparison.

Tbag Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Get both! I have TIR4 and am absolutely happy with it, I can't imagine the TIR5 improvements to be that significant. Safe that money for the rudder pedals! You might want to read this: http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/technology_112a.html [/url]"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so." - Douglas Adams
ArtMan_NL Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks for the link Tbag. I go for the trackir4
Conuk Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 For me.... Pedals! Then trackir... Actually prefer the g25 pedals as well (racing pedals) to the CH ones I got... Don't even use them. You can get away with using a hat switch for looking round to start with... But you'll probably die in the air much quicker! So its best to save up forr both tho ;) I didn't mind my trackir 3 .. I now have 5... For me was a bit of a waste... Depends if you need the extra resolution... I think if you never use a 5 you would be happy with a 4 and save money towards pedals... Anyways buy mine!
EtherealN Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Actually, don't use the hatswitch for view - get some practice on using the mouse with your off-hand. I spent the entire lifecycle of IL2 with that method and it does work pretty well with some practice. Not close to TrackIR of course, but good enough if you are on a budget and have to pick between pedals and tracker. But on the other hand, if you are really good with the twist-stick (I'm not :P ) then the preference might be reversed.
