Have some trouble wearing glasses.

Having to wear (reading) glasses, I have some trouble with my recently bought TrackIR3Pro.
Although I got some tips in the IL-2 Community Help Forum, I still haven't solved the problem completely. I have put 2 square reflective stickers on the brim of a baseball cap, but when I am in the Motion screen,, the little dot moves erratically when I move my head upwards, apparently because my glasses reflect the light from my monitor. When I take off my glasses the dot moves very smooth.
Is there a good solution for this ?
(Btw, I have the impression that the light from the red LED's are reflected by my glasses and that vthey are the cause)

rijnton,

Check in the tracking window and see what is displayed. In the tracking window the glasses may be seen, but as long as they remain red they will not be tracked.

Here is what we need to look at...

Firstly try one round tracking dot on your forehead. Open the tracking screen and choose settings from the tab. Choose dot in the Object type and this should give you a preferred object size of 100.

Now try the tracking to see if both Yaw and Pitch track correctly, your glasses may be seen by white dots, this is normal.

If you are still having problems with your glasses at this point I will help you with a profile so we can tune them out.

Thanks Wayne,
I think I have solved it, inndeed, by adjusting the preferred object size. I set it to 250 ( for the 2 square dots) and although I "see" my glasses in the tracking window, they do not affect the tracking in-game.
Btw I emailed you for a good profile for Pacific Fighters for software v 4.0, which I like much better than 3.13.
