Enhancing Immersion in Flight Sims with Dynamic Head Tracking – Any Advanced Tips?

[earthworm]

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been experimenting with TrackIR in various flight simulators, and while the tracking itself is smooth, I’ve noticed that immersion sometimes feels limited during rapid maneuvers or when interacting with cockpit instruments.

I’m particularly interested in advanced settings, custom profiles, or third-party tweaks that could enhance realism without introducing latency or jitter. For example:

Dynamic Field of View adjustments based on head movement

Fine-tuning deadzones for precise instrument interaction

Using TrackIR in combination with other motion or VR systems for added immersion

Has anyone successfully implemented strategies like this? I’d love to see your setups, recommended profiles, or any plugins/mods that can push the experience further.

Thanks in advance! Any input, even small tweaks, is hugely appreciated.

Hi,
I've achieved very good results by combining a finely calibrated TrackIR profile and OpenTrack to handle certain non-linear curve transformations and FOV mapping.
