Hello again Rayzor.

I have been using TrackIR since it was released. I have both versions.
What is it you want to know as I am very familiar with the product.
A few things.

Track IR come in 2 parts. The receiver that sits on top of your monitor. This unit will not work well in sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
It will plug into your PC by a USB port. It is fully adjustable and you will adjust it to your height in the cockpit seat, angle of view etc..

Next you have the black Track Clip that clips on a baseball cap or a headset. No need to buy their cap as it is a generic cap as any baseball cap will work. It is made of metal that can bend so you can clip it onto whatever you want to wear on your head when you are flying. Since I always use a headset when flying, I have clipped the track clip onto my headphones.




Once you have installed both units, it is time to fly. Your PC will either ask for the driver disc to load the drivers or it will locate them itself.

Fire up your flight sim. Minimize your flight sim. Click on the Track IR Icon and it will open a window and automatically connect to your sim, (whatever you are using), and it is ready for to be used. I usually will start out by going to the airport and get in the airplane in VC mode. Then I will minimize and start Track IR. Then when I go back into the sim, I am sitting right there.

What happens now is wherever you move your head, when in VC mode it will respond as if you are looking that way. It is very sensitive and works really well. After a while you will get familiar with moving your head down a bit to look at the key board. It will take a little to get used to but I will not fly without it! It really gets you into the sim.

There are also profiles you can custom  set and also adjustments to different sensitivities , etc.. in the Rack IR software.

By pressing F12 it will center the view. So, if you feel the view is not right, press F12 and it will center it or "snap" it into forward looking view. To adjust from there, you will move the receiver on top of your monitor to adjust how high or low you want to "sit in your aircraft seat" and also how far left or right you want to sit. My Receiver sits on the top right of my monitor as it "reverses", this way when I am in the sim, it places me in the "left seat".

In FSX , you will need to pause TrackIR when outside the aircraft in spot mode. FS9 had no problems, it only worked when you were in the VC mode. With FSX, since there are so many assignments to the camera views now, you will need to press F9 to pause track IR when in spot view. Otherwise the view you will see will be "fixed" somewhat as you can't pan around the aircraft because the Track IR is trying to look where you are looking. It is a conflict but I have gotten used to hitting F9 (TrackIR pause) when in spot view and hitting F9 again when I go back into the pilot's seat.

It is real easy to use.
My advice, go ahead and get it. It is well worth it!

Hope this helps and no hard feelings, only doing my job Rayzor!
