I bought Falcon 4.0 many, many years ago but set it aside, as I prefer close-quarter dogfighting with machine guns or cannons to BVR missle assassination of unsuspecting enemies. But Track IR is so much fun that I decided to dust it off and try it again. I downloaded and installed 1.08 patch, SP4, S...

Several threads on this one already. The latest and shortest is: http://forums.naturalpoint.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=32;t=000157 The problem stems from the reflectors pointing down slightly rather than directly at the camera if the hat is worn normally, coupled with the recommended...

Cool deal, Pik. Happy to be of assistance. Another individual resolved the problem in a rather unique manner see http://forums.naturalpoint.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=32;t=000117#000000 and the picture at http://forums.naturalpoint.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=32;t=0001...

<t>Move it back, sir. There have been several threads regarding this, and I experienced it myself. The problem comes from the angle of the reflectors relative to the camera.<br/> <br/> For optimum operation the camera must be perpendicular to the vertical axis of the reflectors. If the camera is clo...

Negative, Wayne. Manual slewing is only possible by holding down on the 'Enter' key and then controlled by the joystick. That's why I said in my earlier post that I didn't think it could be done without the source code. And, as I also pointed out, Vivendi (who now owns Sierra/Dynamix and all their p...

I'll be interested to know what you find out. If it is some kind of compatibility issue, hopefully you'll be able to work it out. The heads do provide a nice visual.

I was wondering if we could paint them...maybe wrap a 3-view picture of our own head on it. That would be fun.

Oops, forgot about angling the cap up slightly. It's just become automatic for me. Good point, Barred. Try adding that, guys.

<t>Thanx, Barred, I'll look into that PCIe thing. My machine has been piecemeal upgraded from its original PII 400 w/6.4G hd (and everybody said "Why did you get something that big? You'll never use it all" ) configuration. Without some major modifications I won't be able to do any more with it, tho...

OK, Wayne, due to some other issues I had occasion to reinstall XP from scratch twice in the last 24 hours and here's what I found. Each time I installed Track IR before any other hardware-specific drivers. The first time, the next thing I loaded was the driver for my video card...no heads. The seco...

<t>*bump*<br/> <br/> Rinstalled XP and installed TIR and Vector. Got heads. Installed Sidewinder FF Pro stick, Yahoo messenger, one or two other things I think, no more heads. Uninstalled stick, still no heads.<br/> <br/> Is there a conflict with anything that causes the heads to disappear? Does any...
