I just noticed that when I am moving my head/viewpoint I get a wavey (like heat waves) effect until I stop my head.Does not happen when I only use panning hat switch with trackIR paused.Hvae current drivers etc.TrackIR 5.2.Thanks for any thoughts,Ron

rpowers46,

Is there any way that you would be able to upload a video of what is happening? I'd like to offer a solution, but I need to understand the problem first.

Regards,

If you can explain to me how to make and send the video I will try to do so.Basically when I move my head up or down there is what looks like horizontal heat wave till I stabilize my head.I have been using TrackIR for many years and the other day was first time I noticed it.I am using it tonight and will continue to evaluate it.Thanks,Ron

Negate my post.It is just me (an old guy) looking at things from a different view point.I love your TrackIR .Ron

OK,sorry,but I have returned.I have a fairly high end machine by last year's standards.The best way I can describe this is I have an invisible horizantal wavey line that follows my viewpoint,then stabilizes when I stop my head movement.Best description for me is when I tried bifocal glasses and the line was there.Probably no solution,but if there is an easy one that I am missing I will be upset.Any advice is appreciated.Thanks,Ron

rpowers46,

The problem sounds like an older issue with FSX. Where you can look around so fast now that FSX can't keep up with the demand. You may want to look into tweaks for FSX that allow it to load more terrain and to load it faster.

Thanks for the reply.That's sort of what I figured after playing around It happens when I use the pan switch so has nothing to do with TrackIR.
