patrico 8 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I am thinking of getting track ir, will it be easy to set up Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 From what I have seen the installation is quite straight forward, I have one but have not used it for years. I would be happy to send it to you with the hat clip if you wanted to try it? Link to post Share on other sites
adrians69 159 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 The installation is very easy, and there are plenty of profiles to download and try out till you get one you're happy with. I couldn't fly without it now and it works perfectly in a lot of other sims too like Arma 2 & 3, Falcon BMS, DCS A10 and Elite: Dangerous to name but a few.! Link to post Share on other sites
Auger 22 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Track IR is super easy to setup. The out of the box profiles work OK, there are plenty of profiles out there on the intarwebs, and tweaking your own is pretty straight forward. There is no way I could ever go back to hat switch/keyboard views. Link to post Share on other sites

patrico 8 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 thank you Adrian &Pete, the general consensus I am finding is its a good buy and easy to install Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 When I first started using mine I could only use it for a few minutes at a time before experiencing the onset of some mild nausea. That soon passed and I can use it for hours on end with no problems. After a yoke and pedals, it's the most significant and best hardware add-on ever and I can't imagine FS flying without it.

John I had the exact same experience as John when I started using TrackIR, and I have the exact same thoughts on it after using it for just over a year. It's one of the best hardware investments I've done for FSX, and I don't regret it at all. Link to post Share on other sites
patrico 8 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I will have to bite the bullet and order it, £149 expensive though Link to post Share on other sites
patrico 8 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I ordered it from Flightstore after receiving an email from them 3 hours earlier that it was now back in stock. On checkout they gave me a delivery time of 3-5 days, but yesterday I received an email from them apologising as it was no longer in stock and would not be until next week.................so I cancelled Link to post Share on other sites

adrians69 159 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I got mine from PC Aviator Patrick. It's a US shop, so you have to pay the shipping but it still works out cheaper than buying one from over here.

Here's the link: http://www.pcaviator.com/store/product.php?productid=17516&cat=0&page=0&featured=Y I may have to that route Adrian. I eventually reordered from Flightstore only to receive an email from them this morning informing me that their was a further delay in stock arriving. Can you tell me how long it took to arrive and was that by courier or US Postal service ? Link to post Share on other sites

Also, like John says, order on a Tuesday to get your 10% discount. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites

patrico 8 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 rant over Guys I just received an email from Flightstore and it was dispatched today. Just need to know can I run it with EZDOCK (alongside) ? Link to post Share on other sites
patrico 8 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hurrah it arrived this morning I still need to know if I can run it alongside EZDOCK Link to post Share on other sites
Paul K 22 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Can't help you with EZDOCK, but as you are a new TrackIR user...a couple of things I found that helped: I see from your photo that you wear specs. If, like mine, they are varifocals, I recommend getting a pair of cheapo single-vision ones ( they sell them in Tesco's on a rotating stand - that sort of thing ). The reason is that you move your head but still look at the screen, and so you can end up looking through the wrong part of the varifocal lens. It took me ages to realize that, and was shot down numerous times in multiplayer IL2 because I couldn't see what was coming up behind me. Secondly, try not to move your head around too much. I know that sounds counter-intuitive with head-tracking hardware, but I have found that its best to move your head once in the general direction you want to look in, and then move your eyes around. Constant movement of the head soon causes disorientation and difficulty refocusing on the monitor screen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Patrick...search YouTube for some ezdock tutorials. Froogle has a good one that mentions how to configue ezdock alongside track IR...In a nutshell...yes, they work together. Link to post Share on other sites
phil white 274 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yes it can be used with EZDock as I have it set up myself. Link to post Share on other sites
