TrackIR, Yay or Nay?


I had one for flying combat flight sims but when I tried it initially in arma, I couldn't get on with it. I persevered with it and now can't game without it. However one of my Squadron mates can't stand using his in arma.

I use a track Ir and it feels so weird being in a fps game without it now. If you can afford it go for it.

it's one less key combo to think about. If you can, do.

My head is on a swivel, I just left the WD-40 at home.

Yes, have always used it in Arma. Perfect for flight sims, great for driving sims, good for infantry too.

I use it too.  Excellent little device.  

The key seems to be the configuration.  Just getting exactly the right movement and also restricting some axis.  Shacktac's setup is a good starting place

Absolutely recommend if you want to play flight sims, infantry wise, I personally can feel why others might like it, but for me it feels weird so I don't play Arma with Track Ir

Do you need the little clip or does the webcam thing work fine by itself?

Best to get the clip with the active led, rather than just rely on the reflective dot - improved tracking when there are other light sources in the room, particularly sunlight behind you.

I use something called EDTracker. Uses accelerometers and and a magnetometer to correct drift. Runs using OpenTrack. Works really well for me, and most importantly, cost about £30; comparing to TrackIR's price tag, was a no-brainer for me
