So I put some foam in that part in order to rest my feet lower on them without the cups pushing into my foot. They wouldn't be an issue if my shoe size was smaller, but my size 13s tend to inadvertently push the toe brakes in at the top when resting on them normally. Lastly, the cups on the bottom of the rudder pedals are in the way. I'll use those for the more rare commands I may need on my HOTAS. With the large array of button/switch options, it's not that big of a deal. Even with my large hands, it can be difficult to reach those quickly without shifting my mitts upward.

It may just need to be broke in a bit.Īnother is the topmost red button and 8-way hat switch on the Fighterstick. My only complaints would be that the Throttle base can slide a bit on my desk, from initial testing, if I don't apply a little down pressure when moving it. and a mini-joystick for moving the radar gates and IR pods on the modern sims. I could've just used the Fighterstick and the Rudder Pedals and been quite happy with my setup since there's a throttle wheel on the stick base.

Even has manual trim wheels on the base to adjust manually via the stick itself. Has a really long throw range and moves quite smoothly throughout. The centering spring isn't so strong that it gives you hand fatigue from holding it in one position for long periods but still works wonderfully. If anyone has one that they like, please reply.Those are all deceptively larger than they look in the photos. Next on my list is the task of producing a "good" button profile for this combination. But I'm hoping that this list might help new pilots reduce the false starts and the frustration I have experienced in putting together a "good" flying system for ROF. Many improvements could be made, of course. Works smoothly and provides lots of "buttons". I keep the stick and joint covered with a gallon baggie when not in use to keep dust out of the joint.ģ. This modification makes the the planes easier to control and improves my "aiming". I currently use the "smooth" profile that Trackir provides.Ģ.Thrustmaster t-16000m joystick with two coils of the tension spring tied together with wire cored twist ties (2 or 3 should do the job).

I mount the delanclip on a Logitech ClearChat Comfort/USB headset H390. I find that a powered ir clip seems to be more resistant to the tracking "flip outs" discussed above. Trackir5 with delanclip from Delan Engineering (UK). I have attempted to put many of these ideas into practice and have "evolved" my control system to the following point, which I find works quite well.ġ. Much good advice in the preceding comments for relative newcomers like myself. I ended up dropping the baseball cap and taping the clip with black stage griptape to the front of a cheapass leather pilot-style helmet sourced on Amazon. Your objective with camera placement should be to attempt to make the TIR camera plane roughly perpendicular to your face and such that when you tilt your head up by 45 degrees the camera can see the targets. The common consequence initially was that looking up and head swiveling to spot bogeys would cause TIR to lose the clip. My monitors are large and placed above 50% of my horizontal eyeline, such that I look straight ahead and slightly up to find my center FOV. The cam loses track also if it sees additional IR sources (like if you have a reflective surface behind you, the monitor or room lights can fool it).Ĭareful examination of the green target blips in the TIR config panel can help to isolate for this. My experiences with TIR and bizarre POV flipouts have all proven to correlate with the camera losing track of one or more of the three headclip targets, usually due to a need to place the camera in a divergent location than atop a smallish monitor. I have no idea why it's so klunky and multi-stepped, but it does work and I don't have to do it that often, so I haven't worried about trying to figure out a better way to do it. With mine, TIR minimizes itself to the notifications area of the task bar (or whatever the bottom right hand side is called) - once I'm outside of RoF on my desktop, I just right click on the TIR icon down there, and select "minimize to tray" - then another TIR icon shows up over on the left hand side of the bottom task bar, and I can left click on that icon to bring up TIR (it often comes up as a tiny bar up in the upper left corner, and I have to click again on the little maximize button (next to the red X) to actually see the TIR window).

After I start Trackir and go into RoF, how do I get back into Trackir, either from RoF directly or after I have exited RoF? If I exit RoF, Windows tells me I have a copy running and so far I have not found a way to bring it up on the desktop. Thanks much for your very detailed reply.
