Performance Issues
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 6:45 pm
Hi there.
I've been try out the TrackIR 4. I've got the latest drivers, it's installed and operating okay. I've tried it on FSX and IL2-FB.
Unfortunately, I'm not overly impressed by its performance.
In IL2, the head position too often flips to a full-up view and a full-down view and therefore requires a frequent use of the F12 button to re-centre the view. Not much chop for successful combat.
IN FSX, the head movement generally varies in its smoothness depending on altitude. At low altitude bush flying it's really heavy/sticky - not so at higher altitudes. This means at one minute I�m looking around fine, the next I�m fighting the software to change my view.
I've been using in a darkened room, so there's no external light sources interfering with the sensors. I've experimented with the profiles, but I don't really get much of an improvement. I'd wanted to purchase the latest version, but it looks like I�d blow my money by my experiences so far.
Can anyone make some suggestions to solve these problems?
Cheers,
Matthew.
