Kingkat 1 Posted January 1, 2010 For all you pilots that use a HeadSet / Mic and the TrackIR, do you wear a baseball style cap?.......or a simple golf-visor? I am having trouble with the cap under the heaset, and the baseball style caps have very curved brims, which make it a little difficult to put the reflector device on. Just some ideas. Thanks to everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingkat 1 Posted January 2, 2010 LOL..............thanks, I appreciate the advice. Sometimes I find trying to adjust the brim alters the shape and wearibilty of the cap. Its a pain. The cap is just too bulky to be comfortable while wearing under the headset. Earphones adjust only so far. I wear a fairly large size, 7 1/2 I believe. The drop of epoxy on the brim is a good idea. Next week we can discuss what to WEAR while flying............... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted January 2, 2010 I use a baseball cap because I only use headphones when I fly online. My hat has a piece of braid on it the contours the top of the bill next to the crown. I have just slipped the clip under that and it stays put. The same thing could be accomplished with a couple of quick stitches of thread and be easily removed at a later date.

One can get earphones/headsets which wrap around the back of the head and don't interfere with a cap. that's what I wear...got them at radio shack for about $16. USB connections, work like a champ.

When I played Red Baron II back in high school days, I somtimes wore my sheepskin bomber jacket and had the desk fan blowing in my face (i really wish i was jokeing here) What we do when we are young for emersion eh? Though When I had the ride in the Tiger Moth i got to wear a helmit and goggles for the real purpose.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am glad our wives and SO's love us even though we have a lot of little boy in us ..........
