TrackIR not working In Game
BMS’ers
Got my TrackIR5 on set up and configured all nice. But when I go into the sim/game, it doesn’t work. Is there something in Falcon 4.32 ‘SET UP’ –> ‘CONTROLLERS’ --> ‘ADVANCED (options)’ I need to turn on or buttons I need to set?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Congrats on the 4.34 release.
What are the (minimum) system requirements to run 4.34 so it will run (at least) pretty smooth

Adjusting the X-Axis on TrackIR
BMS’ers,
Finally got my TrackIR up and running this weekend. However when “in game”, my centered POV is too close to the HUD. In other words, all I see is the HUD and the very top buttons of the ICP (COM1, COM2, etc). I would like to have it adjusted so I can see about the top 1/3 of the MFDs. How can I adjust so my POV is a little farther back?
Thanks in advance

Finally TrackIR and UTC Pro
BMS’ers
I finally have my TrackIR and purchased a UTC Pro. Is there a certain profile/setting for the Track IR you can share? Also what should my settings be in the game at the Set Up –-> Controllers —> Advanced Options —> View Control? I want to use this long weekend to get set up FOR REAL(ISM)!!!
Thanks in advance

Ready for Falcon 4.33
Alright BMS’ers,
I’ve been flying on Falcon 4.32, and it’s about time to upgrade to 4.33. I know it’s been out a little while, so hopefully all the bugs have been fixed (or close to it). A few questions:
1. Is it pretty easy to install? I know there are instructions on the Release & Upgrades page, but wanted to see if anyone has experienced any major hiccups. Plus I like the K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle and want to get up and flying as fast as possible.
2. Is there a lot of system or installation prep that needs to be done?
3. Are there any system requirement restrictions (my system stats are below in my signature block). I don’t want to install if I’m going to have some FPS issues because my system can’t handle it.
4. Any other installation “nuggets” of advice you can share?
I’m sure I’ll have more questions……some I can’t think of right now, but I’m sure when I get some answers from you fine folks I’ll have more to throw back at you.
Thanks in advance

RE: Track IR Recommendations
My advice: Get a TrackIR 5 and the UTC Mk II and be done with it.
Do not even factor in the price. Looking online, the TrackIR5 costs anywhere from £160 to £220 depending on what you get with it (with or without the TrackClip Pro). Even at £220, if you flew Falcon for 1 hour every week, 4 hours every month, that’s 48 hours in one year. That translates to £4.58/hr cost of the TrackIR. Expensive? What if you flew Falcon for 6 hours every month, that’s 72 hours in one year, or £3.06/hr cost of the TrackIR. Still expensive? I have had my TrackIR for 7 years now and even at the 1hr/week assumption, 336 hours over 7 years, that’s £0.65/hr cost of the TrackIR. I am very confident that myTrackIR has seen more than 336 hours of use; I used to fly DCS A10C and do at least two flights per week for 1.5-2 years and each flight would easily be 2-4 hours, then there’s the practice flights, training flights, testing-the-new-mission flights… With BMS, a typical flight would be 1-2 hours long, but again, you have your practice/training/testing flights…
If you only see yourself simming for the next 3 months then packing it in, then TrackIR is expensive. If not, then TrackIR is one of the cheapest but most useful hardware you can buy.
Hi ICE….I checked out that SimUK video on this UTC MkII sounds like this maybe the clip I’ll get. However what’s the cost in USD?

RE: Track IR Recommendations
yes, buy a naturalpoint system
people have tried cheaper alternatives but almost all of them end up eventually buying either a trackir 4 or 5.
also if you have glasses or greasy/shiny skin or have a window where the sun can shine through a window onto your head or in view of the camera you are likely to get conflicting IR sources, a trackclip pro solution might help but i suggest looking to buy a metal version instead of the “official” one as i can so far count on 1 hand the number of unbroken official trackclip pro clips from the dozens of people that i know in this community. another bonus point is that the metal version is cheaper than the official version, it is however better constructed than the official version and far more sturdier.
Where can you buy a “metal” version of the Trackclip Pro?
