a TrackIR Question

[sdmccorm]

Guys I've been looking at that TrackIR product for a while. I understand how much people in the Sim community use and love it and I can see the value for cockpit viewing.

 

As I watch the demos and check out the features, there's one question I can't seem to answer or grasp.

 

If the cockpit view turns and moves with your head movement, then how are you able to see the monitor??

 

In other words I rotate my head to the far right to look out cockpit - but now I can't see the monitor because my head is turned to the right. LOL.

 

What am I missing here? Sorry for the noob question.

As an example, you turn your real head 5 degrees right, the in game head will turn 45 degrees. it is not a 1:1 ratio. You can custom set this ratio.

As crunch has stated I have mine set so that if I am looking at right side of monitor, the view on monitor is looking to the rear over right shoulder.

I have only just recieved my Track IR 5 (a few days ago). I can now see why everyone rates it so much. It makes a massive differene as you can view things quickly without having to mess around with hat switches and the likes (also great for missle evasions :D)

 

As has been said it is not a 1:1 ratio. There are a lot of ways to set the track ir up, just like the joystick axis in DCS. It has taken a bit of trial and error to get it the way I want it, but it is now working like I want it too.

It really is worth it for DCS A10C or any flight sim for that matter!!
