TrackIR
Mitch_A 26 February 2005 22:54:45
	Anyone use the TrackIR3 with RFactor? GTR and NSR both play very nice with it. I accidentally ordered the standard version (and they forgot the vector clip) so in the conversation with the rep he mentioned a $30 discount with Pacific Fighters so Im sending this one back for the Pro. Im pretty amazed that after such a short stint with it how natural it feels. I still have a bit of tweaking to do (latency) and the pro's higher res should make an already very good product outstanding. Supposedly GTR (Intl) has a suprise for the TrackIR guys. Anyone have any details? Mitch -- Remove "nospam." to reply. SuSE 9.2 Pro KDE 3.3.2a

I'd be interested in hearing your comments on well it works in your racing sims, and how difficult proper set-up is. I've been thinking about trying one myself, but didn't want to be the guinea pig, I guess. 8) I'm mostly into racing sims and it seems to really be geared toward flight sims which I know you're into.

I have the TrackIR3 Pro as well, and for flight simming I could not go without it now. Since getting back into flight sims my racing time has all but come to a halt, I do want to load up F1CS since it has support for it and see how I like it with it. I too use mine through a powered usb 2.0 hub with no issues. -- Don Burnette "When you decide something is impossible to do, try to stay out of the way of the man that's doing it."

Just to be contrary, I had mine plugged into a hub and very occassionally my IR3 Pro would stop responding. Since I've plugged it straight into a dedicated USB port I've had no problems. I've tried it with a few racing sims and I still think it's primary use for me is flight sims. Cheers, Rod.

No way could I fly without it now. Only reason I have not added the Vector yet is because PF will not have support for it, however i did just purchase MSFS 2004, and with BOB on the horizon, I will be ordering the Vector expansion very soon. -- Don Burnette "When you decide something is impossible to do, try to stay out of the way of the man that's doing it."

Ive been battling the (very impressive AI) at 94% Psycotic and its about the best racing experience to date imo. Maybe if the RFactor team would give us a more powerful car to try Id agree. As it is now RFactors rice rockets (LFS'ish) are fun but the GT's are real race cars that require finesse, patience and skill not bonzai ;) Track IR is an Infrared tracking device. The standard TrackIR uses single reflective dots and gives you right/left up/down tracking. The vector expansion uses 3 dots and gives 6 full degrees of freedom. Id suggest if youre interested dont even bother with the standard and get the higher resolution of the pro. Big difference in lag between the two. The only games I have that support VE are MS-FS2004, MS-CFS3 and NSR. It really is impressive moving about in the virtual cockpit, though it takes a bit of getting used to. GTR will support VE when it ships in a few weeks. Not sure about RFActor though. Mitch -- Remove "nospam." to reply. SuSE 9.2 Pro KDE 3.3.2a
