Track IR Mounting Question

Recommended Posts

OK - you've all badgered me about it and my B-day is next month so I decided to order TIR4.

 

I do have one concern however and that is mounting the unit on my Monitor. The top of it is a flush design that goes back about 8'' to 10" - so I doubt that clipping the unit on will be an option.

 

Can it simply sit on top? I guess I can secure it with something.

 

Does anyone else have this issue and what did you do?

 

Thanks.

Best flight sim investment you'll ever make barkhorn. Had the same issue. Used sticky/scotch tape. Worked a treat. Easy to repair. Cheap. Non-pollutive. No worries. Just fly.

I use Blu-tack to secure it to the monitor top.

 

Actually I've also done the same to fix the track clip (at least I think that's what the metal thing with the three reflectors is called) to the top of a pair of lightweight headphones, so no need for a hat.

 

Added bonus of using headphones like this means I can also use the microphone on the headphones, along with GlovePie, to issue voice commands to the sim.

Thanks guys. I guess it is best not to over think it and just get it and stick it on there somehow.

 

I plan to have by mid-June. It better improve my SA as I need all the help I can get. ;)

I used a hot glue gun and just put a spot on each leg. Hot glue is nice because you can easily peel it off if you need to.
