OT..ish.. Track IR

[Ze-Jamz]

Get a neck brace..

Use default profile smooth at first and if its trackIR5 take note of the program and how the graphs/sliders work in relation to your head movement then adjust if necessary..

when in TrackIR program..goto views and select 'Show HUD' it gives you a 'mock' cockpit and allows you to see what your head movements are doing in relation to the game and you can adjust as required..

Your gonna love it

Suggest you slow the panning, and up the smoothness for CloD. Play with the sliders in profile to get the correct curve.
In game just move your head about in cockpit till it feels right. Oh and try opening the canopy to see when taxiing,

Remember when updating TrakIr software First you have to uninstall your present TrakIr software, then UNPLUG your TrackIR. Install the new software and THEN plug in your trackIr so that your software can then "detect" it . Phew. Its cumbersome but if you dont your TIR wont work, at least thats how it works for me, I use TIR5 .

Enjoy. Its great and you will never be able to fly without it again.

TIR is wonderful. I suggest turning off all of the degrees of freedom except the x and y (ie the left-right and up-down rotation) until you have the hang of it. You can then introduce the other degrees of freedom as wanted (for ww2 a/c I only use the left-right lateral motion in addition to the x and y). If you try to use them all at the start you may get seasick! To turn them on/off just untick the boxes for each axis on the advanced view profile details .

However your issues are likely the placement of the sensor.. mess about with that and get the 3 leds in the centre...

There are some on the Natural Point Forums for you to download. I use the optimized flight for all round smoothness. Here is a link.

ps Why does this forum not have all the features of other forums? Like hyperlinking etc

Hopefully this month I can order TrackIR as well. I manage okay at the moment, but obviously trackIR is the way to go.

Before you start tweaking profiles...

MAKE SURE THE TRACKING IS ALL SET UP RIGHT!

Check that you are getting a clear, steady set of tracking points in the set-up screen, with no extraneous light interference. Move your head around and check the movement of tracking points, make sure you have an image in the CENTRE of the setup screen and that no points disappear as you move.

Get this bit wrong...and you'll never get a decent setup
