TrackIR + FSX + TripleHead2Go

I am running this combination and having difficulty tuning TrackIR to respond effectively.

The TrackIR device is in the centre of my centre monitor (3 x 19" @ 1280 x 1024).

I'm using the track clip set orientated along the vertical axis with the longest part at the bottom, the clip is attached to the left side of a headset.

I'm using the default Flight Profile with FSX

I'm conversant with resetting the head position with F12.

I find the odd occasions that I get lateral movement working something like correctly are if I move my head closer to the monitors (default position is about 2 1/2 feet away).

Vertical movements are all over the place.

If I use the 'heads' utility with mirror setting and turn my head to the left then 'my head' snaps to the right and my game head snaps over backwards.

If I move my head to the right then 'my head' leans to the right and my game head turns right quite nicely but moves toward the screen.

I guess I'm missing something obvious here but I'm not sure what, if I use the gauges view I'm not sure what is going on although I suspect the key to tuning this lays in the settings that are adjustable here.

Anyone else using a similar setup had and resolved these problems or can suggest the best route to making what could be a quite exceptional peripheral work well for me?

TIA
Ian

1 - I would move the TrackIR more to the left of your setup, that way the TrackClip Pro has a better line of sight towards the TrackIR unit.

2 - In the profiles being used for the applications that are loading, have you selected the TrackClip Pro instead of Vector?

3 - Which version of the TrackIR software are you running?

OK just heading for bed so will do this tomorrow and report back tomorrow evening my time. (UK);

Will try moving the receiver and see if that helps.

Will also check TrackClipPro enabled.

Software is 4.1.030.

Vincent,

The reposition of the receiver seems to have fixed it, works a treat now, quite a combination with the TripleHead....

Cheers,
Ian
