How many own a TrackIR?

Post by Masaq »

Quick poll to see how many in the community have a TrackIR or Freetrack, or plan to get one this year.

Been planning on getting TrackIR for a while now. With the release of PR for ArmA II, it's a must buy now.

i plan on getting TrackIR soon, it looks awesome, gives you less keyboard controls, and it feels more realistic. i own Pacific Fighters, Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and BF2 (which Moquill looks like he got working). plus, ill be buying PR2 later :smile:

I'm considering buying one, it looks like a very nice tool. I do not play any game that would support it, but with PR:ArmA2 being announced, I'll probably get one when (read: if) my new PC arrives.

Regrettebly it is priced far and above what I consider acceptable for a peripheral with less than a handful of games that benefit. Same with the Novint Falcon.
Players might be hardcoded, but that sure doesn't seem to stop anybody from trying.


The only winning move is not to play. Insurgency, that is.

TrackIR really is a cool gadget. I might end up getting one if I can spare the money and if there are enough interesting games supporting it.

No, never. It's a stupid waste of money IMO.

I wouldn't say giving you proper control of your view in a plane or helicopter is a waste of money.

I'd say its a waste of money if you only plan to buy one for PR:arma2 and you aren't into flight/race sims.
