I got my TrackIR about a week ago and have watched a number of tutorials videos like this. I think I just watched my last one. Well done Jabbers.

@jasonaquino8232 3 года назад

I know right this video is great. It would have taken forever to figure all this out. But like I said, right out of the box, it works pretty well. And I am using that stupid hat clip, which is not bad, but I need to get some new gaming PC head phones so I can use the clip track pro.

@TrickerDCS 4 года назад

I came for the hand gestures, I really thought you were marshalling an airplane. Very cumprehensive

@groundpounder0541 4 года назад

Thanks for this video! I've been using TrackIR on DCS for two+ years. I've always noticed how much better it looked in videos, but most guides were confusing and not always comprehensive enough for a noobie. Good stuff!

@brandenboatright2309 3 года назад

My track IR arrives tomorrow, this was an outstanding video. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

@GT182-66GTO 4 месяца назад

Excellent tutorial Jabbers. 👌 I started out with an IR3 back in 99. Moved up to an IR4 in 2005 and then got the IR5 software to use with the 4 with only the hat clip. So now I've bought a IR5 with the 3 light clip and I'm just getting it going. All these years I've had no problems. Install and run and everything working fine as is. 2 weeks ago the problems started. Just couldn't get it working properly. I decided to search RU-vid and found you. What an enlightenment. I had no idea to properly set a Tracker IR. They supply nothing to setup properly. You have saved the day. Now I know what to do to use it with SCS' American Truck Simulator without the 6DOF and my flight sims with 6DOF. Thank you so much. 👍

@general11871 3 года назад

Holy freaking hell. I've been looking for a tutorial on how to properly set this up for 5 month. Dude, I've never had track-IR before and am new to DCS. This is by far the best video I've seen on how to set it up.

@TacticalError 4 года назад

Thanks Jabs, really helped! I used to have my smoothness at 25, now when I turn it to 10 it feels weird, but also is much better and kinda feels more like VR. Thanks for making helpful, high-quality videos to this awesome community!

@SonSantana 4 года назад

Your approach is amazing "think about what you need in game and adapt on the settings". Amazing.

@ChristopherB- Год назад

Fantastic video. Yesterday I spent a few hours trying various profiles from various DCS streamers/youtubers to prevail. Today, 15 minutes of your video.. = First time loading into DCS after setting it up == perfect. Thanks a bunch!

@nick3795 3 года назад

Been thinking of getting TrackIR for War Thunder, after 2.5 years without. The video was instructional and straight forward, thank you

@camflip3881 4 года назад

Good stuff, as always bro. Thanks for the great FREE community content :-)

@ChozoSR388 4 года назад

This helped me _MASSIVELY!_ I just got my TrackIR 5 yesterday, and I had what I _thought_ was a decent profile. I'm using my TrackIR for Elite: Dangerous, so I only need to be able turn and tilt my head 90° in game. I'm using a 40" 1080p TV that I'm sat about 5 feet away from. The camera sits a fair bit above my field of view from the sofa, and I never once thought to tilt the Track Clip Pro upwards on my headset. It's still a bit wonky (I presume from both the distance and angle), but it performs pretty decently, all things considered. Really good tips; I did not have the camera situated optimally, still don't (not quite, anyway, but it's miles better than it was when I initially set it up, thanks to your video. Many thanks for your insights.

@Jarvis_aka_UgunnH8This 3 месяца назад

STILL the best TrackIR setup video on the platform. I lost an SSD with a lot of my sim pit files on it and thank god I still had this video saved on a playlist from the first time I used it almost 5yrs ago. Thanks again Jabbers!

@XanderDraft 4 года назад

As a brand new player just getting to DCs this is very helpful and turned my Ir headset from something unusable to passable in about 30 minutes while watching your video....going to have to keep tweaking a few sensitivities but I'm sure that's more just fine tuning as i notice them.. Got my like and sub for this video keep up the good work

@benvanboom8907 3 года назад

Thanks for your tutorial, i have Track IR for a long time and was struggling, now it is clear to me and works great !

@_TestBot 3 года назад

I found this video after just searching youtube for where to put my camera and how to align the clip thing. This was more than helpful!

@tonyjames2430 4 года назад

Thank you so much, I wondered why I was getting a raging headache. Now I know what is wrong with my setup.

@TheMacdalorian 2 месяца назад

excellent video brother. brand new to flight sims here, hard to find videos like your that go into detail, i had alot of trouble with my track ir software. untill i watched your video. fantastic

@joec4106 4 года назад

Great video! I always notice I can get headaches plays DCS and DCS only. I’m looking into correcting my head tracking placements. Thanks Jabbers!

@Enigma89 3 года назад

Just made the upgrade from smooth track to this, so helpful, thanks.

@ZalymBiscayn 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. I've been fighting with DCS and the snappy head movements that was making finding controls in an already intense simulator very difficult for me on the default setting. Now I can smoothly move my head/zoom to see the panels I need to to without ending up looking at the floor or at my engines!

@paulp971 2 года назад

Thanks! I found this very helpful in configuring it specifically for my setup. Appreciate the advice.

@marcelthevirginian1656 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, quite helpful. Many of these things I had already figured out (I'm just getting into TrackIR), but I had a few, but important knowledge gaps. Appreciate you making this!

@danielagoa 4 года назад

@pointblankracer6274 3 года назад

Priceless, thank you man, I was really struggling until now, game changer.

@user-px5ut8zq2j 7 месяцев назад

THANK YOU SOO much. This is really helpful. I have read and re read the instruction manual, but this video has made it all clear. Well done.

@1RacerXer 2 года назад

Best video Iv'e seen in all of my research. I just ordered my Track IR and the wireless "Luke Clip" instead of the TrackIR pro clip.

@rerun3283 Год назад

OH my god, dude. I want to give you a hug. You got me all sorted out now.

@harveysimpson5167 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial; it'll improve my QOL in-game immensely!

@funofflying15 3 года назад

Excellent video, just what I was looking for and very professionally explained! I was considering a VR headset, but they're very expensive by comparison to TrackIR and I'm not sure I want my face enclosed by a VR headset for long periods. I know that TrackIR isn't an equivalent to VR, but it does still provide an alternative method of looking around the cockpit, which brings a level of immersion otherwise missing and for a lot less cost! Thanks and regards from the UK :-)

@jeffbird2983 Год назад

This video was very helpful in getting me started with TrackIR. Thank you very much for making it.

@elbowsout6301 3 года назад

Great video. I just got my TrackIR in the mail last week haven't set it up yet. This is very helpful.

@jasonaquino8232 3 года назад

Dude, your awesome. I knew when I bought the Track IR 5 it would be kinda hard to setup for DCS. This video rocks. I just got Track IR 5 today and just flew my F/A-18 C right out of the box, it works pretty good. But it has jitters so thanks, this should make it smooth. But yeah, it takes a little getting used too. I just like how I can look at my MFD/DDI really close and set things up. Track IR 5 rocks. It works better than I thought it would. Not having to use the mouse to look around my cockpit is so great.

@SteonCZ 4 года назад

Very cool tutorial. I learn some new things. Thank you Jabbers.

Ace video mate!!! Was lost trying to set it up for dcs... thanks so much dude 🙏

@RagsHSC-7 Год назад

Just got the new IR5 with the head attachment. I felt best to watch a competent individual before I attempt to mess. All the compilations up😢 You were very thorough. Now I feel confident that I can do the install. Thank you very much and I may have to watch it again as I do the install step by step. Thank you so much for your time. Definitely priceless!😎👊🕊️

@RagsHSC-7 Год назад

I have a brand new IR5 with also the headset piece. No way I was going to wear a ball cap. About 3 hours. It takes some getting used to from VR to IR that's for sure cuz I had my swivel on the hat switch to have some situational awareness. Big difference but the receiver seems to be getting a little warm. Not hot. Just a little warm. The one on top of the monitor and I did something with the zoom because I can move in a little bit and see everything real close. Kind of good for my eyes. But when I back off I can't see everything in the hud so I just pressed the f12 recenter it's all right. The setup was really close but some things were a little different on the new. I don't know version or maybe I did not broaden out the settings. Set up real good. Only have 132-in monitor but I seen your second one below you. So you're looking at the cockpit at all times. Very good for the f-18 definitely will go that direction, but it seems that I might have a better perspective if I added two more frameless monitors on the side. Idk but thank you so much. It's up and running and I totally qualify. The f-18 legacy now being that everybody's in the eagles and I'm amazing man. But to join up with the rest, I'm going to learn the f-15 until the strike eagle comes out. I got a pre-purchase on that. Hope to see you soon. One day per se. aka Rags. Thank you again

Bloody Legend thanks mate. My go to vid for setting up TrackIR refresher. Thanks for sharing 👍👍🙃🙃

@NA0S90 2 года назад

Just what I needed! Thanks so much Jabbers :)

@greybadger3142 3 года назад

Hello. Just wanted to say a quick thank you. I am returning to pc after many years absence and my setup here see’s me much further from the monitor than I used to be. I never had to look at tracker settings, because they just worked. Which was lucky as I’m not at all technically adept. My new position though, messed tracker right up. I won’t claim to fully understand all aspects covered in your vid, (I’d have to watch it multiple times) but just following along has lent me a basic idea of it and my tracker setup is now fit for purpose again. :)

@alphadonkey4545 2 года назад

Thank you very much! Just getting back to DCS after getting 3080 + TrackIR and greasing the base. Didnt check what was the bottleneck, but got 90fps avg in caucasus free flight 1440p. Was thinking about a 49" curved super ultra wide, but looks like some research should be made, as it would serve its purpose in DCS only. With TrackIR!
