Hello fellow Pilots.

Really enjoying the P-beta at the moment (bugs aside). Enjoying it so much in fact I went and got myself a TrackIR pro 4 (with the head clip)

Is there any tips and tricks I should know before using this new tech for ED?

Thanks in advance

There is a TrackIR thread on the forums somewhere that has a modified profile for E: D, which makes it much easier to bring up side UI panels.

TrackIR works "out of the box" fairly well, though, so it is up to personal taste.

You should just fiddle around with the settings - There is no magical "fits all" settings, because everyone will have different setups in terms of how far away from the screen they are sitting, position of the device, monitor size affects how much head motion is needed, etc. :)

Personally I always remove the default 'deadzone' that there is when looking forwards, because I find the sudden snap in movement feels unnatural for me.

the pro clip headset thingy is irritating at least for me and i found using the cap clip gives the same results without the hassle.

theres a great guide by member maxim jameson round here somewhere.

I'm the opposite... I liek the pro clip and have it on my headphones with the cables loosly zip tied together.

I ended up turning off zoom, and sideways motion, and then I turned off roll as well.

So now my TrackIR is only doing pitch and yaw but it still adds so much to the gameplay! The roll was just getting me out of whack with my ships actual orientation.

Enjoy!

Yeah, I disabled roll, x, y, and z axis. Don't need them for ED.

Just take your time adjusting the settings, everybody has a bit different preferences. And expect a bit of time to get comfy with it.

you are best to update the game database in the trackIR software, and make sure you pick the Elite Dangerous profile.

Then just minimize it.. it needs to be running.

Then run the elite launcher and game.

It should work as Default with F12 to reset your view

One of the reasons my downloadable config file makes the adjustments mentioned above and within the limitations the devs allow.. is to bring all 6 motions under control..

Read the links in my sig for more info. And thanks to those who promote my thread because education and research into TrackIR is the best value money can buy once you understand how to "do it yourself" with my free guide(s)..
