Hi I've been using Track IR in the LOMAC demo for a few weeks now and just wanted to let you guys know how amazing it is to finally have a modern combat jet sim with TIR enhanced.
I believe the same is possible in Falcon 4 right now but I don't fly that one.
It is so much better than using padlocks or trying to manipulate the POV switch.
I just jump into my A-10, find the targets, centre my head in the dead zone and zoom right in to target any anit-air weapons with a maverick.
In LOMAC you can set your snap view wherever you like so I've saved mine to the Maverick TV display.
So anytime I like I just jump to it and then back to TIR with no hassles at all.
After letting a maverick off it is so great to overfly the targets and bank and casually look down on them as I pass by.
Then eyes front as I extend for a loop back in for another run, head to the top of the canopy to reaquire then smoothly follow the vehicles as the nose comes back down below the horizon.
I centre my head again in the little dead zone I made for ultra stable targeting and view zoom right in to place the gun reticle on some tanks. Open up with the cannon and again bank over and I roar overhead and look down at my carnage. Then repeat.
The siutational awareness awarded by using Track IR on Close Air Support in A-10 missions like this is unmatched. It's just the best thing.
There can be a highway full of different targets and you can split second decide which guy you are best lined up for without fumbling with the POV or the padlocks.
Thanks guys this is truly a life-altering product for us flight simmers.
Buy Track IR.

Have fun!!
