Need Your Help and/or Knowledge

Post by THX-1138 »

Hello to all!

I have just purchased TrackIR after almost a year of studying the pros/cons of this device in flight sims.

I have read much about active dots and seems to me that other owners have great results with it instead of reflective dots. Natural Point is even looking into adding this option into their next gen of Track IR.

My question:

What parts do I need to make it? I have a local Radio Shack that I can get the needed parts.

What is the wiring schematic (if any) for this simple device?

Anything else that I should know about active dots and trackir?

Your help and knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Best and kindest regards,

THX-1138

PS: Anyone else here use Game Commander, Track IR, ED 3D glasses and MS FFB 2 for that extra immersion factor?

After setting it up properly I can't find any reason to go through the hassle of making one now, since it tracks perfectly without it, except maybe for the "geek" factor.

Try doing a search in these forums, I'm sure I read a post with instructions somewhere.
