+1 on new view or other tool.for joystick free view. Please never use mouse while flying. I mean, I would get even more sick and die of epileptical shock, when I should move joystick with my good hand and additionally do motor management, prop pitch, mixtures, firing mg's, throw bombs and additionally do something different and unnatural with my bad hand, like looking around.

I would get pissed after 1 minute and quit playing games in general. I would never kill anybody in a hundred years. And viewing behind with leaning to the side? How do you do that? Flying scissors, jojos and barrel rolls in dogfights and keep the enemy in sight would be unlearnable for my brain. I mean: Even if I coordinate that, I wouldn't be able to change prop pitch, mixture, flaps, throttle. Where are all those buttons? On the stick? I would not hit any target while pushing buttons on my stick every 2 seconds :)

Honestly, that wouldn't be fun for me and I would quit playing. A Freetrack is for fun and also cost some more bucks, if you do it right. The cam with good fov and a lot of fps, the ir-led's, ballasts and other electrical parts like mini usb port for charging batteries (if you want it wireless) .

I personally switched to trackir, because of the cam ( some years ago, you rarely find 60fps cams or more ). I use active light tracking. Sun can burn directly into the cam without interference. I use my old track clip from freetrack times with ir-led having a wider degree of emitting and it is slightly bigger, which exceeds the limits, too. It is driven by usb power connection. By far better than the track clip pro! ;)

I have no idea why forum rules apply to everyone but raaaid. I took a screenshot of his F bomb he laid down recently and it was quietly deleted. I've seen others banned for much less and without any words like this. But trackir is worth the money.

I thought he was leaving. I even wasted keyboard strokes and said "bye" :(

well facetracknoir is great but i have a serious prblem now:

panning has lag both in mouse view and head tracking

anyway around this?

move your head slower or get an active LED setup and switch to freetrack? the API is still pretty new for facetracknoir, it will get faster if they keep working on it.

but i bit the bullet and boought trackIR, its way WAY better than freetrack/ftnir

I used TrackIR for years and never ever had a bad neck and never heard of anyone else getting one using it.

With my setup i dont turn my head more than 30 degrees from front.

If anyone gets a sore neck from using TrackIR then I suspect there is an underlying issue at hand ...

a) Your wearing something on your head that is heavy i.e. headphones

b) You need new pillows

c) You need physiotherapy

d) You need to stop staring at girl's arses when they walk past, walk backwards instead ;)

I only have time to play a couple of hours a week

I have not actually fired up a flight sim for months.

However I adamantly declare that every time over the past few months that I did not play a flight sim , I invariably used trackIr to not play it.

Is this cheating?

Thousands?

Hardly..

TRACKIR 5 $149.95 http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/products/trackir5/

And anyone that thinks TIR is cheating is just silly

TIR is the best thing to happen to flight sims since the introduction of the joystick
