3instein Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Hey folks enjoying this wonderful sim since most of my problems got ironed out (cheers Fleshpiston) it may have been suggested before but as I don't yet own a HOTAS system or track IR my latest thing is that as you can press ALT+C to get into mouse movement mode,I have configured this to a button that doesn't get used on my joystick,so when starting up for instance I can switch to this mode as it makes it a lot easier to float around the cockpit flicking switches and the like,also the middle mouse button while in this mode act's as (how can I say) up/down/left/right in height mode,and my button to centralise my view still works in this mode,handy,and it makes it a lot easier and quicker than trying to sweep around using the hat switch,once your finished your start up procedure or whatever,I just press my button and I am back in normal mode: looking with the hat,it also can be useful when your up in the air to look for targets as well. Anyway just me I suppose, Regards, Mick. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Keep the faith AMD PHENOM II X 4 955be @3.2 GHZ | ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO mb | Corsair XMS3-8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory | Nvidea GTX 580 GDDR5 GPU | CNPS9900 NT cooler | Corsair HX850W psu | Seagate Barracuda 500GB HD 300 MBps - 7200 rpm | WIN 7 64bit | 32" HD LCD TV | 5.1 surround sound | wireless keyboard and mouse | Saitek x45 hotas.
hassata Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Good tip. I'd seriously consider getting a TIR, probably before the HOTAS. Huge immersion bonus! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

3instein Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 facetracknoir Cheers lads,but I done all that facetrack stuff but I just don't like the light levels as you sort of need a lamp shining in yer face for it to pick out your face good enough(little bit of exaggeration) but think you know what I mean.I made a 3 point clip for my earphones with some LED's and managed to get that working with either a webcam or my sons eyetoy but still think TIR or nothing,and as cash is in very short demand it's the latter I'm afraid,BTBH I have gotten really used to what I have,obviously TIR would be a lot better but honestly the system I described works really well for me,until I can afford the real deal of course. Thanks folks, Mick.

Laud Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Good tip. I'd seriously consider getting a TIR, probably before the HOTAS. Huge immersion bonus! Hm... I'd say the HOTAS is a bit more useful than the TIR. At least you need both, to get things going really well. AND: TIR is not about immersion - It's enhancing SA and thereby your overall results.

jeffyd123 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 ya i agree about facetrack... I tried it with a 150 watt spotlight on my face (and yes it really sucked) and a very good quality webcam (logitech orbit) and it was shockingly horrible. too bad because it has a lot of potential. TiR is very pricey but dammit it works amazingly well. i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor
SY_KO Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 3instein.... TIR is definitely worth the investment. If I ever upgrade from v4 to v5 you can have my v4 FOC. Unfortunately I don't have plans to upgrade any time soon but if I do it's yours. ~~~ Win7 64bit // i5 2500K @4.2Ghz // ASUS P8P67 Pro ~~~ ~~~ H50 Cooler // 12GB 1600 DDR3 // EVGA GTX580 SC ~~~ ~~~ TMW // Combat Pedals // TrackIR 4 ~~~

SY_KO Cheers for the offer mate,in fact why don't you just run very quickly to the nearest place that sells TIR 5 then I would be a happy bunny LMAO. Honestly thanks buddy I just love reading these forums as the folk you meet are ..just ..well.. "better". In all honestly I could use the clip I made with my eye toy and TBH it does work rather well,but the way I do it at the moment with the ALT+C used sometimes actually works surprisingly well but in no way as good as the real deal.A real HOTAS system would be the dogs BoXXXks though,would certainly stop me getting mixed up with all my button pushing and what modifier to push before I have to push the button,but some day,hopefully sooner rather than later. But thanks again for your very kind offer so why are you still here get running.
