• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

TrackIR5 Likes / Dislikes

Trackir 5 is so much better than "3" - and that was good too.

F9/lock for the outside views and move via the coolie hat, unlock for inside. Lean round the girlie's head (in the Christen Eagle or the A2A Piper) to see the runway. Or raise the desk chair to look over the nose... In some planes or helis, you can even lean into the bubble canopies to look down (great for the underslung loads!)
 
Folks, you don't have to sit still the whole flight. You can program in a big null zone, even how far it turns, just tweak.

If you really need to move, take the cap off. It resets to a forward view after a few moments of not detecting the reflectors.

Need to check something or land, put the cap back on, head in right position, hit F12, you're back in business.

For goodness sake, take control of the camera, don't let it control you. :icon_lol:
 
I have my keys mapped on my Nostromo so if I want to sloach down I just recenter the view with a touch of a button, easy peasy.

One more thing, make sure there are no bright lights behind you when using TIR. It will really screw up your tracking. I have a lamp off to one side of my monitor slightly behind my head that doesn't bother it at all, but when my daughter comes in the game room and flips the overhead light switch it wigs out my view pretty bad.
 
How do people fly without a TrackIR? It's my favorite piece of gear. Easy to use and get used to! I won't take off without it!:engel016:

Hi Scratch,

There are adjustments for that. Jast had to make a few because of a lamp. :)
