J G 927 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Having splashed out on a TrackIR, and previously user my Joystick "hat" for looking around, i find my joystick hat is largely redundant. Track IR wont give you a 360 view, but that can be covered off by a left/right switch. So what do you use your hat for? Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I still have it bound to panning since I don't have TrackIR active on all my EzDoc cameras. Mainly I find using TrackIR way to tricky for finding a good angle when panning around in the outside view for screenshots. Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I don't have TrackIR, so I use my joystick hat switch to look around the VC. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have TIR but keep the hat set to pan. TIR is occasionally wonky, and Murphy's law tends to toggle the wonky on landing...I tend to Pause TIR on landing after using it to set my head in the best fixed view...which it is terrific at for fine adjusting that view.

jaydor 345 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I use a hat to keep the rain off my bald head.. Why not use it for elevator trim? Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I use it to pan camera on outside view when making screenshots after pausing my TiR 5. Much easier to find good angles. Never had problems with my TiR being "wonky" in any of the sims I fly. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,303 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I use it to keep the rain off my head. Sorry, I've tried for days not to say that. Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I use my hat for begging. For panning around exteriors it's good but in the cockpit it's too twitchy. I pan down for the foot warmer but end up on the flight engineers lap. Link to post Share on other sites
