Track IR 6

[K2mil]

Hello all I'm planning to get track ir device but I noticed that the latest model 5 been out for quite a while. I cant find any news regarding the update... should I purchase 5 or do anyone knows when model 6 will show up, if it will ?? I'm not in rush since I still read a10c manual thanks

Go with Track IR 5 - I haven't heard anything about v6 and v5 will work perfectly for all DCS World as well as any other flight sims.

I'm no expert in the matter, since I only have my track since December (worth it!!!), but when I was buying mine, no indication of 6 coming was seen and as far as I know things haven't changed. That said, it does not really matter what kind of tracking device you use, you just got to have one. Seriously, the ability to look around with your head is the best thing in sims since joysticks were invented. If you are short on money go with Freetrack or FacetrackNoir. If you can afford TrackIR though, go for it. The sooner, the more time you will have to learn to use it. :)

 

The only reason not to get one ASAP is waiting for Oculus Rift, which looks awesome, but so far there is no telling how it will work with DCS.

I got trackIR4pro and it has been working with all DCS titles. I don't think a 6 is in the tube. It might be worthwhile to save the money for occulus rift which I won't buy but I recommend trackIR5 for now.

I doubt NaturalPoint are working on a TrackIR 6, TrackIR 5 does everything anyone would want within the IR boundaries and then some. If anything, they are considering R&Ding a wireless trackclip pro, just considering.

 

I think It's worth it to get a trackIR despite the Oculus Rift potential release next year, it is likely than some of your head-tracked gaming sessions will still be better enjoyed with a regular screen(s) for those cases where you need to keep some contact/awareness with the real world.

I'm hoping they release a Track No IR ala something like the Microsoft Kinect that can do face tracking one day so we need no clips, etc.

 

That's just a pipe dream of mine though. I'd settle for a wireless pro clip as an upgrade.

[Panthro]

agreed no IR would be great.

[K2mil]

I got into the flight sim and I love everything about it except the head tracking system.

 

I thought oculus rift would be cool but on the other hand I would be limited to HOTAS use only

 

I think kinect like device would suit all of us best, I also dislike the clip or cap Idea

I've been using my TrackIR3 since 2004 and it still works flawlessly. Not HOTAS or any other computer component has survived this long. I'd say go with version 5.

Good luck may take another 6 years..

 

Wireless is overrated... Track Ir 5 is fine as it is

[K2mil]

I would figure few months since there are so may you tube videos of DIY .... You like cable I dont simple ...especially for a clip come on it could be wireless no issues at all all it has to do is project led light into receiver ... Everybody would benefit from it being cable less .....

According to his thread one trackIR engineer says it on their radar

[mmaruda]

Maybe there is something I missed, but isn't TrackIR wireless already?

Unless of course you mean that awfully overprices placebo-effect headset clip...

Its very easy to make the track clip pro wireless with a phone external battery.

I am using TrackIR with the reflective clip. More than reflective wireless clip I think is not possible :D

[kk0425]

TrackIR 5 is plenty. You probably won't see any benefit with a newer version unless they add some kind of major feature since the tracking resolution is more than plenty even for TrackIR 4.

[javelina1]

TrackIR has got to be one of the best things that came out for flight sims. It is such a great addition. I've been quite happy with the TrackIR 5, and using the default hat/click setup since...
