I think Roybaty is correct about the scuttlebutt - and that's why Ubisoft won't condone it. This is not a "corporate censorship" conspiracy, it's just a policy on software piracy and hardly surprising considering how Ubisoft make their living.

Hmmmmm nothing at GoGamer?
http://www.gogamer.com/searchr...al+point&categoryId= I did a search for Track IR. nada. Tried Natural Point in the search box and Voila'. Wow. I hadn't looked in a while. I thought they were going for ~$120 with game. Maybe they were dumping ver. 4. Sorry, |

if track IR is as smooth as the mouse . . . and keeps my left hand free for throttle . ..
it'd be worth it for me, and since my friend has one and it works wonders in FPS . . . its seems nearly everyone is united on how good it is. will check it out __________________________ I look to the sky where my help come from. And I seen it circling around from the mountain Thunder! You feel it in your chest You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest |

Simply put...
Track IR is worth more than you pay for it. If you fly on closed pit servers or off-line closed pit, it is well worth the money. I have had a 3pro for a long time now and with the additional 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) added with the mods, it feels weird not to fly with it. HAT switches are OK. But nothing competes with the immersion factor and situational awareness that Track IR gives you. Nothing! It is more intuitive than a HAT or a mouse. It keeps your hands free to do other things (manipulate other controls, pick your nose, grab a beer, etc.)  And it is simply the single best item I have ever purchased for gaming.Those who have it know what I mean. Those who are going to get it will find out what I mean. Those that have no plans of possessing it will never understand the true nirvana of using this device. (Can you tell I think my TIR is pretty cool?) LOL! -"Rein muß err" und wenn wir beide weinen!-  |

you can not really fly any sim properly without IR Tracker.
With Tracker you see the world around the plane as pilot would see it. Padlock View is not good enough. |

i'm really considering this product but what i;d like to see is it in action. I've only seen what appears to be some moderate pans, and the 6dof is quite impressive. I have that capability with the mouse, i just wanted to see how responsive the pans are. Can you move your head as fast and accurately as a mouse? It seems with practice you probably could but then panning with a mouse also took some getting use to. I guess i could buy one and return it if i'm not impressed but i thought with all this talk someone could post a video or some ntrks of some tight action sequences. Bill |

Gimme a day and I will set up a dogfight in the QMB and make a track for you, or heck, I can record a quick fight with fraps or something. (I just got homw from work and it's 6:00 AM! So I got to get some sleep first)
If you have doubts, those should be relieved once you see this thing in action! TIR FTW!!! -"Rein muß err" und wenn wir beide weinen!- |

You can adjust the speed of the response and the amount it moves to suit what ever you need. Another vote for TrackIR  |
|||
|
 |
Bill, it is adjustable as crash said, but if you are asking about responsiveness and if there is any lag... There isnt, you whip your head and it pretty much does exactly the same thing on the screen at the exact same time, and the resolution is high enough where you can make slight movements and the screen will move a few pixels which ever way you really did, much more accurate and smoother than a mouse.
 Speed Doesn't Kill but a sudden lack of it does. |

I flew for years with using the hat for looking around.
finally moved up to TrackIR and had, like probably everyone else, a "what the hell took me so long to switch?" moment. There is absolutely nothing to say except it is worth every freakin' penny.

I've got track ir 3 at the mo and its great. Takes a week to get used to but it's really really immersive.
It'll last you as long as you want to use it so it could have a ten year lifespan so the price isn't that expensive. And more and more games are Track Ir enabled so it's for more than just flight sims. I'll upgrade my version three to six when it come's out as it will have 6DoF which my one doesn't. |
||||
|
I can see how this would work wonders for flight sims, but how exactly is it good for FPS? Nothing easier than pointing and clicking on someone to take them out, assuming you see them before they see you. |
||||

I've been flying this sim for over seven years now, the last four with TrackIR3/4, and it is absolutely indispensible--easily the most important controller/peripheral I have.
It makes flying Full Switch vastly more practical, and adds a great deal to the immersive experience; it took me all of a couple of weekend afternoons to get used to it and set up my profile juuuust so. I found it more intuitive and easier to switch to than pedals, and pedals are easy. When you consider how much you fly this and possibly other (lesser) sims, and how useful this tool is for simulations like this and others, the cost per hour of use/enjoyment will drop to pennies in a month or so. cheers horseback "Here's your new Mustangs, boys.

If my TIR broke down, I'd call in sick for the next scheduled online missions until I had it replaced.
For me TIR has merged with the IL-2 experience completely. It took a week or two for it to happen back when I bought it. Today I wouldn't touch the game without it. It would be like replacing a joystick with a mouse. You can, but why even bother? I could think of more fun pastimes. And while I have yet to try, I wouldn't underestimate its importance in other types of games either, like driving sims and FPS-style games like ArmA2 or similar. It's all about enhancing virtual reality. You don't win the crowd by creating cool explosions, you win them by letting them 'be there'. |

That makes no sence what so ever considering u know what. Hint: IL2 M..s Not saying u dont make sence, mean the editing makes no sence. As for Track IR, dont know if its worth the money (for me). Tried another program and just couldnt get my head arround it, my views where all over the place, same with rudder pedals infact, cant get use to either. Im just TO set in my ways with hat swich and twist stick. Guess an old dog just cant learn new tricks.  Will however proppably give it another go when SoW gets here. |
