Javito1986 14 Posted December 13, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted December 13, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
