Kenan Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Hi guys! I also posted a simmilar topic on our 504th forums, but would like to get your thoughts on this matter too! I am planning to buy plain TrackIR3 (99$ at Naturalpoint), without Vector expansion addon. I remind u, I never experienced this kinda technology and lots of people told me it's worth getting. My key question is: Will I be happy with it in LOMAC? Thanks! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Commanding Officer of: 2nd Company 1st financial guard battalion "Mrcine" See our squads here and our .

Hi-Hat_504 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Get one m8, you wont regret it. Honestly, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Apart from a HOTAS... its the best bit of kit you can get for a simmer. CO vvs 504th Red Hammers
169th_Dredd Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 TrackIR ROCKS!!!!!!!! You'll be amazed at how much it rocks when you get it.

bflagg Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 go for the vector expansion... You will never use your keyboard or HOTAS again for view control... Thanks, Brett

Tallyho1961 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 If you're serious about flight sims it'll be the best $100 you ever spent. If I hadn't got mine I probably wouldn't be simming. Add a microphone and a voice-activated software program to communicate verbally with wingmen, tower and AWACS and you'll be at a whole new level of immersion. ___________________________________________________________________ HEC 435W PSU | ASRock 939Dual SATA2 | AMD64 3700+ | 2G PC3200 DDR RAM ASUS X1950PRO 256MB | Audigy 2 | Saitek X45 | CH Pro Pedals | Track IR3 Pro
AMVI_Surgeon Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 of course you will! I'ma happy owner of a trackir3 standard (no pro or vector expansion), and it's very fluid in lomac, so don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll change your point of view about flightsims!!!!!!:icon_wink Freelance Hog Pilot :joystick:
Dudikoff Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I'd also suggest Vector expansion.. Ok, so far it's limited to zoom only in LockOn, but I think it's worth it. and it will certainly be a great experience in the future. I guess you're not buying it from a local store, so maybe it's better to get it all in one package, rather than two. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Kenan Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Well, I tried to order one from Naturalpoint, but among all those countries, there is no Croatia on the list. This pretty much hampered my plans. I have no idea where to try to order one..any suggestions? BTW, Naturalpoint had a pretty decent price (100$)..I'm not sure about European sellers since euro is stronger then dollar. About that vector expansion thingie: can I zoom in and out without it ie. only with the standard trackIR 3 package? For example, if I lean forward to zoom in my MFD or something like that. If I'm on runway and I have like 20fps..if I start turning around will I experience delay ie. stutter because of the low framerates (like it usually is the case when using normal POV switch).

For example, if I lean forward to zoom in my MFD or something like that.Yes. And 1.2 will allow for 6DOF :D Can't belive how expenisve the VE is though :( If I'm on runway and I have like 20fps..if I start turning around will I experience delay ie. stutter because of the low framerates (like it usually is the case when using normal POV switch).I don't have a TrackIR myself but if the "mouse look" is choppy this will be too as TrackIR is just another way of moving the mouse pointer/mouse view. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5

Arizona Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I've got TIR 3 Pro w/ vector expansion. Great investment. So much easier to hunt helos in the A-10 now. Zooming in on HUD by leaning into the monitor helps a ton with targeting. You'll probably want to tweak the settings when you first set it up. For me, the defualt settings were way too sensitive with too small a deadzone in the center. With the default settings, I didn't feel I was in control of it. However, once I went into the settings and reduced the sensitivity (very easy to do), I won't fly LOMAC w/o it. One tip to vector expansion owners. Since my TIR sits on top of my monitor, I found I couldn't look down at the instruments when wearing the hat. But by wearing the hat with the brim up high (to where I can barely see it), the TIR is now able to tell when I look down and move the display accordingly. So, now I am able to look down at the instruments while in flight. Again, highly recommended. Arizona
Jason76 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 TIR + vector is the best gaming peripheral I have ever purchased. Well that and my CH fighterstick. I don't know anybody who has anything bad to say aboout trackIR, especially in use with Lock-On.
