Right - it's active without needing any key presses. You can bind special TrackIR keys (through their software) to pause or recenter the TrackIR on demand, though.

The Youtube version is available now:

I recommend the other one, linked previously, simply because that clarity is many times better.

OK I won't...

But sad fact of the matter is I did. I was looking for a cheaper shipping alternative but couldn't find one...

Guess on the plus side I should have it in a few days (providing it doesn't get tied up in Canada Customs as some sort of terrorist spying device

) anyway.

Thanks for the kind offer. Next time something like this crops up I'm definitely gonna be looking for help.

/edit to add thanks

And thanks for posting the video. After watching that I am really looking forward to getting this rig hooked up even though about the only games I play are FSX , IL2 , Armed Assault and some PRM.

Then I too shall be able to keep a chopper in the air for more than 33 seconds (record so far

) cause it looks like it makes flying those things a whole lot easier..

Seriously though , it really does look like it adds to the immersion and along with the VAC , will make simulators a whole lot more interesting.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

It feels a bit strange at first guys, but I can't live without it in any flight sim or ArmA now.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

How dose trackerIR effect computer preformance? and what dose it strain the most CPU, GFX, RAM ect?

If there is any performance hit, it must be negligible. Meaning, under 1fps of difference (if that). I've never noticed any impact in performance at all.

Yeah cool man! Thanks for the vids and I will be picking one up for FSX!
Also, is that a Sennheisser headset?

Glad you liked it. Yes, it's a Sennheiser - HD 595s. Love those, too.

The best headphone manufacturers to look out for are Sennheiser, Behringer, Sony and AKG

OMG!!! Took the $15 discount so ended up paying $114.95 for it.. good deal so far.

Then add on shipping UPS Air to Canada .. $85.22 *gasp*. No option for parcel post eh?

So far I'm in hock for $200.17 and Canada Customs and Revenue haven't even got their grubby little hands on it yet.

Better be as good as all the reviews say it is..cause I got friends that can make problems disappear if it aint..

There is also a Canadian distributor for trackir. While you won't get it for $114, they do have it listed as $149 CA, $18 S&H.

Do you know of a cheap way to either ship or purchase trackIR in Europe or rather scandinavia?

Oh yea right...make me feel REAL good eh.. yea - cheers to you too.....

(and btw - I did google and check TigerDirect to see if there was indeed a Canadian distributor..but nothing came up)

**BeerHunter** · 08-08-2008, 10:53 AM

Well got it on Wednesday so guess in a way the exorbitant shipping costs were worth it though I could have used the $80 for other things (ie: beer , smokes ).

Fired it up and tried it out...going to take some getting used to I think.

Played about 10 minutes and was feeling a little nauseous..ever time I moved my head to hunt for a key of course the scenery swooshes around..almost make you a little dizzy.

All in all though it's gonna be a handy little toy. Not only for ArmedA but for FSX and IL2.

Tie that in with the VAC system and you can almost sit back,drink beer , munch potato chips while you drive/fly around the maps blowing things up.

Highly recommended.

How about putting this post into the previous thread, since it's a continuation of a conversation that was happening in there? (plus it retains the benefits of having links to videos on it, other owners' feedback, etc)

**deathknight** · 08-08-2008, 04:31 PM

I got my track ir on the way and thanks for posting the info dslyecxi and for the discount.

**ryanb43** · 08-13-2008, 12:12 AM

All I hear are good things about these. Wish I wasn't poor.
