i use the trackir 4 hardware and find the smoothing works a lot better with the 4.1 software than 5.0. anyone else notice this?

We are reworking the smoothing a bit right now, and it will be more like 4.x in a coming build of 5.0.

i just started to use my track clip pro again and it works a lot better than the hat clip. which wasn't my thoughts on the clip pro before.

First, if you haven't already, be sure to download and install the newest
beta build.
If you're having stability issues with the TrackClip, make sure that the reflective markers are being tracked sufficiently by the TrackIR camera. In the Camera View, check to see if the three markers are all consistently tracked through normal head motion. If they are unusually small or seem to flicker, try turning either your Light Filter Threshold down or your IR Brightness up. If the Light Filter Threshold is at the lowest limit of 150, you can manually reduce it in settings.xml to something around 40-60:
150
When you're looking at the Camera View, check for extra red dots in the view. If you're having problems with the TrackClip in particular, it could be that the TrackIR is picking up on unwanted light sources from reflective materials behind the camera.
