I've bought a track ir 5 along with the track clip, such an improvement.
Might jump on ATAG's ts when I am going to fly online.

But for the track ir users I recomment a track clip pro, better than the track clip wich goes on a cap.

Well, your head doesn't get as hot and itchy in warm weather with a pro-clip, but my pro-clip broke because they're actually made of cheap cheese.

So now I have to fly with a hot and itchy napper.

P.S. As it happens, I think there are too many wires around with a pro-clip, they always seem to get in the way, no matter what I do.

Bought TIR5 w/pro clip about a year ago, spent a fair amount of time dialing it in ... haven't used it since.

awwelll.

That's really weird. I just plugged mine in, clipped it to my headphones, opened up the tir screen where you see the reflection and head movement.

I press F12 to reset to center posiiton before i start the game and usually every now and then in game so it re-callibrates my center view. It is flawless.

LOOOOVE IT and never a problem.

TIP of the day. If you have TrackIR and pro clip. tape the wires to your headphone wires so they don't get in the way and can't break

Wot? you don't think I did? The thing is made of cheese I tells yer.

It wasn't the wires that broke, it was the poxy 1mm thick plastic clip things in the pokey bit. You''ll remember these words, I promise!

So true Dutch, my clip pro broke down to pieces progressively. When I fixed it, another piece broke down. This thing must have been engineered to be made of steel but then someone did a clever value engineering and gave the drawings to a cheap plastic mill. A 0.1 mm plastic swivel with 0.1 plastic pivots cannot last a lot. By the way the normal hat clip works better.

I mock your words and laugh at your little pokey bit. AAAAHAHAHAHA!!!


On another not... What type of cheese is it made of? jarlsberg, red leicester or Smoked Dutch perhaps?


Every cloud has a silver lining

It is a bit fragile. I have a fairly heavy-build set of headphones, Medusa surround sound, which I bought for the surround sound and because the headset cable is reasonably strong, about 4mm dia (I have a graveyard of headphones with thin failed cables). The Pro Clip clips onto the headband above the left earphone and I use black domestic tiewraps to tie the Pro Clip cable to the headphone cable. The headset hangs on a hook when I'm not using it and I handle it carefully when I put them on/off. In short, treat it with care and it will be ok. Yes, that spindly piece of molding used to flip off if I knocked it but black insulating tape is my friend.
