Whoo! Getting a TrackIR!

[Javito1986]

The wife let slip that she's getting me a TrackIR 5 for Christmas so I stop getting blown away by the "hun in the sun". Marvelous news for me, I've been looking to get one since I first heard the name 'TrackIR' back when the BDG added TrackIR support to Rowan's Battle of Britain earlier this decade. This is going to make my OFF flying -so- much better and I'm ecstatic

Good for you, Javito - similar deal for me too! I'm looking forward to the initial dizziness and stiff neck already!!

Guys - it won't do anything with your necks. There may be an initial dizzyness,

and it may take longer for some to get used to it.

I get dizzy rather easily, and it took me about two months, until I could really handle

my fighter, whilst I was looking elsewhere via TrackIR. The fixed angles of snap view

I had used before when I was fighting, gave me kind of hold - now it was suddenly

all free and I could look in all directions - wasn't easy first.

But I would never go back - TrackIR really makes me feel to be the pilot of the craft,

to be above the landscape - it makes it feel real.

UncleAl, UncleAl - you sometimes are the Roger Corman of the forum. Or maybe the George Romero.

Your little shop of horrors, eyh?
