Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialist 16 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Buy it! you wont regret it. Ever since I got mine, I never went back to 2D panel or traditional VC mode. You can't beat the realism with it, and my framerates are better then using traditional VC mode. It's a must for serious simmers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEA-JHD 1 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 i agree 100% with Specialist.. trackIR will forever change the perception of Realism in Fs and any other game that supports it, it is a revolution, now i only fly in VC Only thing you should be aware of is that trackIR shouldnt be used in bright places as it will not dunction properly, be sure that you are in a dark enviroment.

low-n-slow 0 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 seahawk09 Did you notice that the other two responses said "buy it" Buy it It is the single best after-market hardware purchase I have made for Flight Simming. Period. I have CH yoke, pedals, throttle, large screen, fresnel lens, etc. but they all take a back seat to TrackIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S 75 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 If you have not bought it yet, then what are you waiting for?? As everyone who has replied has stated, it will change your gaming experience. If you want the ultimate in realism, combine it with the wireless 3D glasses: they really work! This combination has left many of my friends speechless, they can't believe how "real" it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladeRun 0 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Wait, before you buy it, let me recommend.......buy it! I didnt see your post earlier, cuz i was flying with the TrackIR 4 I had a couple of issues setting mine up, but there is a great support forum on the Trackir web site. Within a couple of hours I was able to get it up and running. A++ to their support people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinFlyer 8 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I bought mine last week at Ebay and got it yesterday. What a great piece of hardware, really you won't regret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydvdan 2 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 An additional note: I just received the TrackClip pro and it's yet another great addition to an already great product. Since it's an active IR source instaed of passive like the regular hat clip, it is way smoother panning in the sim. And of course there is the benefit of not having to wear a hat anymore. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C 110 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Had mine for a year or so now, all I can add to this thread is "Buy It". And you can get a 10 USD discount if you buy it here: http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/promo/...creenshotartist :wink: It's natural now to don the cap while booting up FS, as natural as slipping on my socks in the morning!

Guest AerosoftNA Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Normally I am pretty sceptical to fancy hardware add ons. but as I had the chance to play around with it at a booth of Natural Point on a trade show, the deal was very quickly made! It's really "naturally" working and even my son of 5 years old understood what to do with his head instantly... I use it a lot with VFR flying and on visual approaches with airliners. It's so pretty handy just to keep an overview of things. Unfortunately describing the effect properly is sooo immense hard. It's a product whether you must see and buy or simply trust Natural Point (and the forums/reviews) that it's a thing worth to buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limp 29 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Wow, I'm definetly getting one... In France there sold out, and there is one shop on ebay that sells them for 179 €... Anybody have a link ? Thanks and good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveIT 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've had one about a year. No regrets...this thing is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snave 466 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 TIR can do things that even a multi-bucks multti-monitor-networked-pc solution can't do. The first time you lean forward to look past the yoke at the light switches or pick your turning point for finals by craning your head past the window frame, you'll know... I can only add to what has already been said: BUY it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limp 29 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yes but where, that is the question, I live in Switzerland and no store seems to have it in their catalogue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinFlyer 8 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Get it from the Aviation Megastore: http://www.aviationmegastore.com/?shopid=L...7&art=47481 They deliver worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limp 29 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks they have it in stock and ship to switzerland I saw there was a think called vector expansion... Is it worth it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snave 466 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 TrackIR 4 includes Vector Expansion. It was an addon for the earlier Track IR3. Buy Track IR4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limp 29 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Got it this afternoon, found it in a store in Geneva... It's bluffing ! I flew around, and now I just need to change the sensitivity a bit and it will be perfect.... It feels very real ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelL 71 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Track IR is sure worth the price - personally I would even be willing to pay a bit more if they made it a bit more stable. The cable on mine just broke (bit over two years since I bought it). I haven't found the time to replace it so far. I can also recomend the track clip, which realy improves the tracking precisision - but is as well something that can easily break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
