Do you have a TrackIR?
Have you ever used one?
In your defense, I have never used EDITED, but I have heard from countless people that the TrackIR has no rival.

I have a free alternative and works nice. Can't imagine to fly around without a headtracking device free or expensive.
I noticed while watching an IL2 clip on YouTube I moved my head left and right. It really happened.

TIR is definately worth it. I put it right up with, or possibly ahead of rudder pedals for making the game more playable.

I haven't used it for that long, I bought the TIR 5 Pro a couple of months ago.

Personally, I find that the "Pro" clip was a waste of money though. For me it seems to work better with the Hat Clip.

Yes, I have used TIR4 before. I do not own one.

EDITED in superior in the customization and
light interference handling and, of course,
price.

The only place TIR does better is in ease of
set up. EDITED isn't plug-and-play, but one
it is set up correctly it is as good as, and in
some ways, better than TIR.
It takes a lot of time and effort to get
working as it should.

That is not just my opinion either; it's the
experience of the majority of people who have
used both systems.

To echo the choir...

Yes it is a great accessory.

I disagree with the notion that it is not as needed for FSX though, as the same immersion factors apply. i.e. moiving your head in teh direction you want to see, looking around the cockpit with 6dof, etc. Would not fly either without them.

I shudder to think how much worse a pilot I would be without TrackIr.

I was wondering what happened. This is the first time I have heard that we can't mentioned that program here.

Actually, yes we do! Personally, I get $10 everytime TrackIR is mentioned. That's one reason why I love TrackIR! TrackIR is indispensable -- I would not fly without my TrackIR.

TrackIR. TrackIR. TrackIR. TrackIR. TrackIR.



Seriously though, I can understand taking pause at having to drop $100+ for it, but once you do and use it, you won't regret it in the least.

I have used TIR2, and before upgrading to TIR4 or 5 to get 6DOF I toyed with EDITED .

After all the hassles of trying to use EDITED it was clear getting a new TIR was the way to go. I ordered a TIR4 off of NaturalPoint's website (www.naturalpoint.com)

It was cheaper than TIR5, I got 6DOF, and it was a huge improvement over TIR2 and EDITED .

BTW we all get money for mentioning hardware in our sigs to

I put off ordering ym TIR for a while, and when i went to pick it up at the post office i was a little reluctant to give away my money for such an "unnecesarry" thing. Then i pluged it in, installed the software, spent half an hour cursing why it doesnt work. I was in a really bad mood, but behold, it sudenly started working! After 5 minutes of flying i had the biggest grin on my face, and if this one breaks down, im sure ill order the next one in a blink of an eye. Its just an amoazing piece of hardware, it gives you so much more imersion, situational awareness, you can easily track your opponent, and pretty much just makes the whole thing a lot more fun.

Is it F*******k that is being censored out? Can't see the point of that, is UBI in bed with Naturalpoint?

Used to left-mouse way back wile I didn't have any hotas taking up deskotop space. Worked, but nothing like TIR!
Still living in the 2dof world but that's about to change soon I hope.
A bit overpriced though, considered it's basically a webcam with a clever software.

I'm still using my trusty old TrackIR1 and I love it. It works like a dream.

I couldn't imagine flying without it and only wish I could afford (justify the expense to the wife) getting an up-to-date model!

If my track ir broke tomorrow, i would buy another one, tomorrow.

6 dof is the nuts.

nuff said.

yes it worth it. if you don't like it, i'm sure there are many who would be willing to buy it from you.

Lol f*****k

But yes, it is being editted out, and yes, NP has influenced other forums, and apparently game producers in the same way.

Worth every penny.

Scuttlebutt is that EDITED is based on hacked NP code.

Also for those saying TIR is expensive, well it's way less hassle than buying a compatible cam for EDITED, modifying said cam (and voiding any chance of return), futzing with clunky/unintuitive software, making a LED rig for your hat, and swearing at the whole damned mess when it STILL doesn't work as well as TIR

Can someone PM me and tell me what program we're not allowed to mention here?

And quite frankly I'm not liking the corporate censorship going on. No doubt the product in question is a NaturalPoint competitor but I had no idea that ubi.com's forum moderation policy is based on the marketing decisions of naturalpoint, inc.

Never mind, missed this post before.

I'm pretty sure that stifling discussion of EDITED at the very least constitutes collusion on ubisoft's part. Is there some sort of partnership between ubi and naturalpoint? I see no mention of this 'post restriction' in the rules.



Now why would you go an post that knowing full well you are not allowed to? Since I understand your concerns (I'll explain the situation in a PM) I'll not give you a ban, but be carefull.
