Your trackir 5 has been dispatched...

...Sweetest words I have read in a long time. 'Delivery date 7th Nov' less so. I want my new toy now damnit!

 

I am assuming that track ir will make me an instant Biggles/Jedi level aerial killing machine, right?? :D

Congrats, you will certainly find it a game changer!

Not sure about making you a Biggles but it sure helps with the immersion! I'm still using, and very happy with, my old TiR3, and wouldn't be able to play without it.

Having a stick with hall sensors is key, and I just got some Crosswinds delivered (they are magical), but by far and away the thing that turned me from horribad into strictly average was TrackIR... 

Just be careful with that ProClip! It's absolute trash and will fall apart faster than an American college kid... but the system itself is, in my opinion, foundationally critical to any simulation (unless you have VR, but TiR is empirically superior for a sim like this at the moment)

 

 I actually ordered a wireless Pro-Clip replacement from this cat in Poland, he has a waiting list, but with the A50 headset I have I figured these'd be really nice: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=159647

Yeah, am using the thrustmaster t16000m hotas stick and throttle set up, and it was a toss up between pedals and track ir. However, looking at ninjas on YouTube, I reckon being able to look about naturally probably trumps having to put up with stick-twist-rudder for now...

I have the same clip and i can say that you wont be disappointed! I've been thinking about buying wireless headset too, then my setup would be perfect.

Have fun with your purchase, TIR is definitely worth it once you spent a couple week getting used to it and having it tweaked comfortably for you. 

I think you made the right choice investing in it before the pedals.

You could also look at the delan clip, it is much better than the standard clip.

My take on the Pro Clip is that it is designed to 'come apart' rather than 'break' in the event of a fall.  Mine has come apart many times following a fall BUT, it has always gone back together no problems.

 

That said, the Polish device looks really impressive and I suspect I'll end up ordering one.

Get your profile right from the start, and take some tweaking it so you get a smooth experience taxiing from the tarmac, taking off and landing again all in cockpit.  Everything else follows on from that but get the profile right first.

 

If you want my profile using the clip I'll email it to you, otherwise there are other ones out there to use.
