brainwashed Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'm getting back into flights sims after a decade of being away and just replaced by old CH Pro gameport setup with a new CH Pro USB setup and am wondering if my old TrackIR 1st generation device is even comparable to the newer TrackIR 5? Is the TrackIR 4 or 5 worth spending the money to upgrade to? I wonder if the little niggling issues are resolved. I remember alot of glitchy issues with it in IL2 back in the day with it failing to return to center and tracking my head cockeyed. It was still worth it but it could get frustrating... I'm also looking at head tracking software called Chachya which looks impressive. The fact that is now a 3D aspect where you can lean in and out and to the sides looks incredible.
pitbldr Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 The first TrackIR device I had was version 3 and I can say without reservation that TrackIR 5 blows it away. The 6DOF is really impressive and once you've used it, you won't regret it! :D Can't comment on the Chachya software.
WarriorX Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 This one is easy, go for the TrackIR 5. I would also suggest getting the TrackClip Pro.

S77th-konkussion Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Get a #5 for sure.. My first was a TiR 2 Pro.. Still have it, actually. $20 if anyone wants it... :) [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
Feed Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I'll echo the sentiments of others, here. TIR5 was a significant improvement over my TIR4, so I can only imagine how much better it would have to be over their initial offering. I'll also echo the recommendation for the TrackClip Pro, to go with it. It really does make a difference.
brainwashed Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for all the replies guys. Looks like I have another thing on my wish list! :)
