I haven't got a handle on the new setup and I'm struggling with the range of movement. Your virtual head can swival over 360* , very annoying and disorientating in a dogfight. I have it setup now so that atleast it pauses before jumping past the rear center position. I should have it sorted tonight, but I seem to be losing interest in flying. Hopefully the release of ROF will renew my interest.

Chivas make sure you get the beta 3 version of the software. The first couple versions had some issues. I tweaked my Smooth profile and it works flawlessly. You will see a big difference in terms of the accuracy and you just won't lose tracking especially in 6DOF.

Run your Smooth bar up to around 50 and you will get a big change.

That should help you right off the cuff.

Thanks Stubing... I put the Smooth bar up to 100 and already have the Beta 3, but my main problem was over rotation, which I was able to fix by dropping the third circle back down to Zero at the 30 degree mark. Its working great now, thankfully better than my Track IR 3. It should be interesting to see what difference the Track Pro Clip will make. I'm currently using the vector clip as they forgot to put the Pro clip in the shipping box.

Okay I had the same problem with the over rotation which is annoying... It's a very simple fix.

Go to your advanced settings with the graph of your curves. You will see the end points (circles on the line there are 5 on each side from center) on both sides of the curve. Go to the very end either left or right. Make sure you have the YAW axis selected and then grab one of them and pull it down to the bottom of the graph and in just a tiny bit. If you go up it makes the movement larger in the game. So by going down you will get rid of the over rotation problem.

Play with your smooth curve a bit and you should see a big difference.

Ordered mine yesterday. Should be here Friday or Monday. I too will likely have a 3 pro w/vector up for grabs in a week.

I gave my TIR3Pro with Vector to a buddy who is still using a Hat switch. Funny thing with him is he's one of the first guys to introduce me to Thrustmaster back in 1989 with the concept of a hatswitch and HOTAS.

I told him going to the TIR is the same thing.... Light years ahead of using a switch to move your view. Love it won't go back to using switches or a mouse. It's retarded.

I think once he tries it for the first time he's going to have a baby right there on the spot.

5 version SW works perfectly with my TIR4Pro. If you experience twitching increase smoothing to 50% or so. Otherwise much better FOV etc, compared to the old SW (or I couldn't be bothered/didn't know how to fix it before).

@Stubing ... Check your PM mate.
