my TrackIR 5 has arrived!

How did I ever sim before with out this?!
I noticed an immediate improvement on my combat flight sims, with FS2004 it is nice to finally be able to LEAN outside and see around the WACO's big radial  8-)

If any of you do not have this device yet I strongly suggest getting it. It is well worth the money.

You'll enjoy it I'm sure! I only use mine with two 24" screens because of space limitation but this is a case where more IS better. It hardly affected my FPS at all.

after tax time this spring I won't need mine....adding 3 monitors so that I have 180 degree surround vision in the simulator

Hey Wahubna
I can only assume you are enjoying your new TIR......I just wanted to point out a few adjustments that you should be making in SF2 to get the most out of your new equipment when Mig hunting. these adjustments will give you 6DOF in SF2 because out of the box the head movement isnt what it should be.

Adding the following lines to the [CockpitSeat001] section will allow XY slewing for TrackIR users:

MinMovementX=-0.16
MaxMovementX=0.18
MinMovementZ=-0.08
MaxMovementZ=0.10



Then in Viewlist.ini

In each class find these entries (apply to all jets globally)


LimitPitch=FALSE   -----> look up down - FALSE allows more freedom so I use it
LimitYaw=TRUE     ------> Set to FALSE to enable 180 all round 
LimitRoll=FALSE
