Dont waste your money guys.. There is a program called FACE API thats does the same thing but works with your webcam.. And its free.. FACE API by SEEING MACHINES.. I use it in ArmA2, H.A.W.X and Grid with no problems..
Head movement in GRID isnt synced good at all. Seems like it wants to snap to the center view all the time. Also your driving sucks, i wont forgive you ;)
Ive bought a TrackIR 5 and will be playing other games, i hope i wont be disappointed.
You will need a "cockpit-style game". (Like rFactor, Grid, FSX, IL2...)
There is an open-source version out there called "FreeTrack", that with some quick-cheap mods lets you try the idea of the system out before committing to the outrageous price of the "Real" thing. (Natural-Points Tracker has 100fps and better tracking.)
Playing "cockpit-style" games without a head-tracker, is like playing FPS without a mouse.
I have already ordered TrackIR. It will be here by March. I have FSX, FS9, IL-2, and Lock-On. I always use the virtual cockpit in landings. Plus I got ActiveCamera for FS9.
Why are you trying to review this product with a Texan drawl, when it is quite clear you hail from Swansea or the South Wales valleys, for god sake man, be proud of where you come from. In trying to mask your real accent, you have ended sounding distractingly like some weirdo.
I love my TrackIR 4 Pro with TrackClip PRO headset clip..
I fly IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 flightsim alot..and in Arma(armed assult)militarysim this little thingy is awesome..coming sims as arma2 and OFP2 supports this trackir too
Im a Pacific Fighters and Lock On player and i can tell that Track IR brings a really great and awesome experience, and the best of all, i improved my performance in dogfighting too
Actually, with the TrackIR software's motion scaling capabilities, you can adjust the movement to be as sensitive as you'd like. It's possible to change your in-game viewpoint to look completely over your shoulder (virtually) while still looking at the screen in real life.
just got mine. here's the Problem. when in the F9 Virtual mode, getting lots of Floating movement, which makes it very difficult to try and keep your mouse pointer over the switches. everything is "moving" and "Floating" around.
yes, great views for looking out the window, but it seems for those who want to make it "as real as Possible" (Me)
and who were hoping that you can just use the Virtual Cockpit, and all "original" switch locations, and zoom it to toggle them, well..quite difficult ?????
Once you play with TrackIR in a game that supports it, doing without it just feels asinine afterward. It really does wonders for your situational awareness when playing something like IL-2 Sturmovik or Falcon 4.0, though I sadly can't say that it instantly made me not suck at dogfighting. (At least I don't get taken by surprise nearly as often, though.)
The only problem is that the only FPS that I know of that supports it is Armed Assault. That ought to change.
This TrackerIR, and the eMagin Z800 3D visor, have been around for quite some time now. Old news... he probably just recently stumbled upon it, however, great review as always! w00t!
Thanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed TrackIR, and we're all jealous of your setup here at NaturalPoint headquarters ;) Feel free to contact us if there is anything we can help with in the future.
Trubritar you have the best driving simulator, I'm coming to your house just to play it. It looks awesome with the Track IR and(3 monitors and racing wheels and pedals) :) I want them ALL!!!!!!!!
thats what i have a problem with also. because the IR will always keep the view centered on the 1st screen, moving your head defeats the purpose of the TiR. Perhaps it's just something you have to get used to over time but its still not as natural as people make it seem. at least in my not quite so honest opinion ;-)
its pretty cool but that would be helpfull if you used like three 30 inch screens. if you have smaller screen you just move your eyes not your head.......its a cool thing if your running big screens
