First make sure you don't have your straps on (gunsight view).

Second, search for my profile I posted around here somewhere.

I'm not at my computer so I can't post it again atm.

Cant find ya profile, Plus i cant seem to find anything to do with straps in my control options?

Straps, gunsight view = same thing.

I haven't changed any settings on my Track IR5 with the clip and it works perfectly out the box with no profile tinkering have you updated it recently?

Cheers

I cannot find gunsight view anywere?
Why dont you just say what section it comes under

First thing to do is check the 'Head View' and tracking views in the TrackIR software.

You'll get a better handle on how the tracker is working.

if the head graphic isn't moving far enough in the set-up, tweak the response curves untill you get the movement you want.

make sure the IR targets are visible for all your head movements. Adjust your reflectors/clip until this is right.

Get it wrong in the software set-up and you're on a hiding to nothing

Circled in red.

But if you don't know where it is I doubt that's your problem. Are you using the clip or the hat?

Have you updated your TrackIr5 on their site to the latest drivers/software?


Cheers

Edit your track IR should look like this:

3 green dots verticle right down the centre when your head is straight.

im using clip attached to my headphones
and yes i have updated:grin:

And does your camera box look something like this in the TrackIR software?

3 dots lined up like a crosshair.

it was the curves, thanks guys:grin:

Glad you got it sorted chap.

Guess I have been lucky with mine I've never had to tweak anything but perhaps I am lucky enough to be sitting exactly the right distance away from the monitor/receiver it's set at. :grin:

As for the lean to gunsight I couldn't fly the 109 with out it. Half a gunsight is a struggle for me. :)

Cheers

ive got nothing asigned to my lean to gunsight, should i have?

It sure helps especially in the 109

Tell you what I do in the 109...

Lean a tad to the LEFT..hit the TrackIR centre key, assume normal sitting position and the sight is centred :grin:
