mmmmm track IR... It is truly epic, to say the absolute minimum. You'll never look at a flight sim the same way again. Once you go Track, you never go back...

It seems a bit overpriced to me for something you can do with a wiimote and some IR reflective tape...
However, something like Tracker IR + this bad boy would probably be really insane: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/tv-accesso...view-50005000/ |

Epic? Er, kinda a nescesity in DCS to look around the cockpit and flip a switch. In anything related to dogfighting it allows you to keep an eye on what you're chasing, though a lot of sims offer padlock views that essentially accomplish the same thing.
There's free alternatives though, people say FreeTrack works a treat.

I got TrackIR in time for last Thursday's Flight Night, and it really is good! My flight back to base was done at low level following a railway - before I'd have to punch up more often than not but I could stay lower and for longer by easily turning my head to suit the situation. That said, I still crashed but that was because I'd got to external view.
![]() ![]() The only downside to it so far, and it's probably just because it needs tweaking at my end, is in the cockpit I'll look toward a button I want to push and the slightest movement of my head then makes me have to chase around with the mouse - again ![]() ![]() Previously I'd tried FaceTrackNoIR, which just uses some free demo (not time limited) software and a normal unmolested webcam - and it didn't work for me - the setup software worked and I could track head movement well but in game it didn't work despite having a specific DCS A-10C profile done by DCS, also it screwed my Steam install. I didn't try FreeTrack but a friend has and said it works fine - but he's still going to save to get TrackIR in the long run.

You can adjust movement speed and strength (is that the right word?) in your Track IR profiles.
