Here I am resurrecting old threads again, but I noticed over 4000 views so there seems to be a small amount of interest.
My last post I pointed out that the trackmapper software seems to have dissapeared from the 'net.
I zipped up my original copy and you can download it from my personal host.

To recap: trackmapper allows me to use TrackIR to map left and right lean for first person shooter games. The immersion factor for peeking around cover or checking corners before entering a room or hallway is simply AMAZING!
This works great for games such as CRYSIS, F.E.A.R.(All), S.T.A.L.K.E.R.(All), Ghost Recon's - basically tactical shooters or any game that allows leaning.
Included is a profile that sets the common keys Q and E. It is very simple to remap the keys to whatever you wish, provided you change them in game also.
There is an instruction sheet written by the original programmer Koji "KAF" Sato.
First launch the TrackIR sofware then launch trackmapper. (works for versions 3,4, and 5.)
For shooters, I simply use one YAW axis.
Sadly, and the intent of my original post is that the roll axis is not mappable in trackmapper. (I would still like to see this produced from Natural point someday.)
To lean, you have to "look" (yaw axis) left or right slightly rather then "lean" (roll axis). Although ArmA II is setup for this to work perfectly. Now thats an amazing TrackIR experience - ArmA II...
None the less, this is very simple and intuitive and does not take a great leearning curve to get a massive increase in immersion for many FPS's that do not normally support TrackIR natively.
Wow, did I ramble.
Fine. So just before submitting this lengthy post I did a quick google for trackmapper and Koji and ... the site seems to be back in operation.
