Just got my Track IR

[RodBorza]

Just got my track IR.

I'm amazed. I'm surprised by the quality of the product, not only the head tracking per se, but the overall appearance and attention to detail. You can see that many hours of engineering thought were spent in the product.

You all got understand that here in Brazil Track IR are only avalaible through importers, since it is not a very popular product for the average public, so no stores have it in exposition. I bought through the internet and, as I said, for my surprised when I opened the box and went installing it, I was suprised by what I was seeing.

Very nice product, worth every penny spenton it. Although it takes,a little bit of getting used to it, at first you can get a litle dizzy by the speed and fast view changes. So, there's a lot to be tweaked.

In that note, I would like to know if there is a Track IR 5 profile that is default for the DCS: A-10 out there to download. Or if some kind soul has one and would be willing to share. Or there isn't, and I'll have to do it myself, changing and tweaking to my preference.

 

But back to the sim, I gotta say that my Situational Awareness increase by a 100%. Now I know where my wingman is at all times. I just have to move my head for a second to check on him and get back to flying, not risking hitting a mountain in the way. With the joystick hat it was not that easy. Also, target spotting and landings are now a whole new ball game. It is instintictive, just move your head and look where you want to go. Very, very easy.

 

Anyway, I just wanted to share. DCS+TIR is the way to go! or me, it is worth more than a fancy HOTAS right now.

Yes it is awesome!!

 

Here is a link to the Wiki. Scroll down and you will find a hardware profile section. There are two TIR profiles. I have never used latearrival's but Wags' profile it what I have been using since day one and I never had any issues at.

 

Enjoy it!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you.

 

Also note I have noticed the TrackIR 4 works a lot better mounted to the left side of the screen, on top of the screen I had trouble with it losing track whenever I would look down. Now it never loses track. You can rotate the camera's orientation in the TrackIR profiler software. Go to the camera tab under advanced settings and then go to camera rotation. After that select 270*.
