Version 4 vs version 5 software

Post by audunth »

Hi,

I have a TrackIR 5 with Track Clip Pro and I assume the v5 software is the one preferred. But it says v4 is also compatible with TrackIR 5, so can someone tell me what's different between the versions? They seem to even share the same release notes...

I have an ATI card and apparently there's some issue with the v5 software, so it seems installing v4 would be sensible, but I don't wanna miss out on more functionality etc.

TrackIR 5.x software has a much more robust 3D visualization tool, for previewing what your head movement will be like in-game as you tweak the motion controls. Its motion controls are also significantly more powerful and intuitive, for better fine-tuning of the responsiveness and smoothness of the head tracking.

I would definitely install it to start with. The ATI issues are only for a very small portion of users, so I wouldn't assume you'll have them.
