New to all this - what is going wrong here?

Hello:

I finally got around to installing my TIR4 w/ Pro clip, and am having no luck getting it work right.

First off, things don't move the way my actual head is moving. Second, going one direction has a different sensitivity than the opposite (e.g., left is different from right).

Also, the some of the gauges lines go out to the edge and then come back towards center. And, some lines go in different directions - e.g., yellow & blue go right but red goes left.

I've uploaded some pics: http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g155/kadiir/TIR/

Note that the number in the title represents the approximate number of degrees I moved my head (and, yes, I used a protractor ).

edit: I forgot to mention that I actually tried it out in MSFS2004 and had similar results to what the "heads" shows.

I had the same prob when I installed mine yesterday, but then it just fixed it self without me doing anything and still on the default settings/profile.

Found this link to something that has helped other people,

It was turned off, so I turned it off & set it to 100. That helped, however when I yaw left the guages & heads still go crazy. It seems that whenever the lower dot moves to the right of middle dot (as seen in the Tracking view) everything goes crazy.

Now, if yaw left ~5 degrees it goes to the extreme and the heads go at a weird angle:

gauges
heads

Roll right has a similar effect.

edit: it just occurred to me that with the whole lower dot passing the middle dot thing, that if I just turn the dot-holder-thingy so the lower dot is closer to my chin that helps. I now have it turned far enough that I'd have to really contort to get the lower to pass the middle. So, it would appear I have a workaround. Is this a design issue (flaw or intentional)?

edit 2: I take that back - having it deflected so far causes the movement to 'bleed through' to the other axes.

Hmmm, think I need to change the profiles' Tracking to Track Clip Pro instead of the default of Vector?

D'oh!

So, I have a feature request - a global setting for the type of tracking with the option to push it to all existing profiles

It also occurred to me that during installation of the software, there could be an option to indicate that one as the Clip and it would set canned profiles to it and make it the default for new profiles.
