Noodle Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 So I recently wanted to buy TrackIR but it's expensive as hell, I found a cheaper solution called TrackHat https://www.trackhat.org/ Anyone has experience with it? Is it worth it for arma? Cheers Chuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karate Pyjamas Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Personally, not for me. If you are like me and move around while playing games a lot (e.g. change your seating or generally restless sitting at your desk) you'll quickly get annoyed with it.

Vlk Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I got trackir clip on a cap. Like track hat. If u wanna go all in it's worth it. Just press 1 button to center cam if ur moving a lot while playing. Sent from my iPhone using a phone app that is really irritating because it constantly advertises itself.

Chuck Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I bought a track hat a few weeks ago now and its great! I went with this kit. I had some teething problems at the start with attaching it to my headset (Logitech G430) with the included zip ties as it was a curved surface and didn't stay on. I fixed it by using velcro. Cut two strips of the velcro the same size and stuck it on. It works really well as I can leave it plugged in and just reach for it when I need to and stick it on. I've had a lot of success getting it to work in the different games (Arma3, BeamNG, Project Cars, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Train Sim 2017) With arma, i haven't found it to work as well. I move around a lot (like karate) and it doesn't help with first person shooting, third person is fine (This is probably a settings problem and I just need to finetune). Other games it works amazing and it's definitely worth the money. The setup process isn't clear but it's not impossible, it may take you a few days to get each game mapped to a profile just how you want it. They are very helpful when I contacted them. Overall I recommend thoroughly Noodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-958- Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I was looking into a Trackir substitute for dcs, this looks perfect and better than the self-build solutions out there. Also, @Chuck Norris what's the difference between the 'plus' and normal version? Noodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 @Blue-958- The plus version has a battery pack in it. After making a DIY velcro mount I don't see much point in getting the plus one as the normal version is connected via USB. Surprisingly it doesn't get in the way Noodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-958- Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Cheers, I'll get myself one as soon as I've recovered from the steam sale. Noodle and Chuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindi Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Personaly went for TrackIR. About being a restless and moving around a lot I just bound a key to center view and fidgeted around with the sensitivity curves in the software to find a setting that suits me. Basicaly set mine up so that there is a slight dead zone before the tracker applies movement to the screen. Noodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
