wills224 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Hey guys just a quick question for you. Is TrackIR really worth itself inside the game.. Is it smooth and relistic or choppy and crappy? I am a Big FSX simmer and just starting DSC A-10.. Thanks for thoughs who reply... Wills
bmbpdk Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 really worth the money! it gives a new sence of flying, just like going from keyboard to joystick. it have smooth movement and really easy to setup Inno3d RTX 2070 Twin X2, ASUS STRIX Z270E Gaming, Intel i7 7700K, 32GB Corsair vengeance, Kingston Hyper X FPS Alloy Cherry MX Red, Logitech G102 Prodigy, Track Ir 5, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Combat Rudder pedals, Beyer Dynamic DT770, Acer CB280HK 4K monitor, Win 10 Pro 64bit
BKLronin Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 It´s pretty necessary I would say. There are also some other devices on the market. Have a look at all possibilities first. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Dirt Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 It makes a flight sim a FLIGHT SIM and not a game.
Lonecrow66 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Worth the money when it works and you get it set up right yes.. --- May your takeoffs equal your landings!
brewber19 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Get one, and you'll never play another flight sim without it. Besides a HOTAS, its the most important piece of kit you need for flight sim! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 487th Helicopter Attack Regiment, of the VVS504 Red Hammers
Sandman Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Almost as important as a joystick IMO. You can also use for various other games if they support (e.g. driving games). Well worth the money.

Outlaw24 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Once you get use to it you probably will not fly without it again. Well worth the money if you are serious about flight sims.

wills224 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 what is the difference between IR 4 and 5.
wheelhaus Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 That info should be on the product page for TIR5. But, I know it's biggest improvement over TIR4 is that it's smoother and more accurate. I agree with everyone else, 100% worth it. I can't fly a sim without it now.
PoleCat Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Worth it? Worth it? Yes it is. :D Out http://www.104thphoenix.com/
LukeSky Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Once you get use to it you probably will not fly without it again. Well worth the money if you are serious about flight sims. Hmm... I cannot wait to get use to it. It's pretty hard to click on the switches. Mainly for setting the ILS and TACAN frequency. If you have some tips I'd appreciate if you want to share them with me. I'm not able to look correctly to the left and right panel. I pause the sim and remove my hat to do it manually. (I don't use the pause key for TIR). It's really hard to get use to it.

Vullcan Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Its not a wonder product though, even after lots of tweaking I still find I am unable to get it to pick up the signal when looking in a couple of the extreme corners. The best product will be something like kinect, that can track your head without having to rely on LED's strapped to your head.
wheelhaus Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 It really does take some adjustments to get it to feel right. Even still it has it's quirks. I prefer a one:one style profile, and then adjust the actual ratio and limits until it feels good. I don't like the profiles that have a zero ratio near center, feels too disjointed. Seeing the side panels is the most difficult, with my setup the reflectors end up going outside the camera range and it gets jumpy. Still tweaking.
bmbpdk Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Seeing the side panels is the most difficult, with my setup the reflectors end up going outside the camera range and it gets jumpy. Still tweaking. try making more distance between you and the reciever, i had your proplem in the beginning, but when i moved my reciever 5-10cm (1/3 of a feet) backwards, the problem was solved Inno3d RTX 2070 Twin X2, ASUS STRIX Z270E Gaming, Intel i7 7700K, 32GB Corsair vengeance, Kingston Hyper X FPS Alloy Cherry MX Red, Logitech G102 Prodigy, Track Ir 5, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Combat Rudder pedals, Beyer Dynamic DT770, Acer CB280HK 4K monitor, Win 10 Pro 64bit
