TrackIR + FSX + TripleHead2Go

[IanH]

I am running this combination and having difficulty tuning TrackIR to respond effectively.

The TrackIR device is in the centre of my centre monitor (3 x 19" @ 1280 x 1024).

I'm using the track clip set orientated along the vertical axis with the longest part at the bottom, the clip is attached to the left side of a headset.

I'm using the default Flight Profile with FSX

I'm conversant with resetting the head position with F12.

I find the odd occasions that I get lateral movement working something like correctly are if I move my head closer to the monitors (default position is about 2 1/2 feet away).

Vertical movements are all over the place.

If I use the 'heads' utility with mirror setting and turn my head to the left then 'my head' snaps to the right and my game head snaps over backwards.

If I move my head to the right then 'my head' leans to the right and my game head turns right quite nicely but moves toward the screen.

I guess I'm missing something obvious here but I'm not sure what, if I use the gauges view I'm not sure what is going on although I suspect the key to tuning this lays in the settings that are adjustable here.

Anyone else using a similar setup had and resolved these problems or can suggest the best route to making what could be a quite exceptional peripheral work well for me?

TIA

1 - I would move the TrackIR more to the left of your setup, that way the TrackClip Pro has a better line of sight towards the TrackIR unit.

2 - In the profiles being used for the applications that are loading, have you selected the TrackClip Pro instead of Vector?

3 - Which version of the TrackIR software are you running?

OK just heading for bed so will do this tomorrow and report back tomorrow evening my time. (UK);

Will try moving the receiver and see if that helps.

Will also check TrackClipPro enabled.

Software is 4.1.030.

OK, let me know how the testing goes......

Vincent,

The reposition of the receiver seems to have fixed it, works a treat now, quite a combination with the TripleHead....

Cheers,
Ian

Excellent, glad to hear that it is working well for you....
