Mobious 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Anyone who has ARMA now and uses TrackIR with it? Could you post a video, some screen shots or maybe just answer a question or 2 about the use of trackir... How is it, in general for all available units (troop,Heli,Jets)? If you are flying the little bird can you lean your head out the side? I am a big flight sim fan but never purchased the TrackIR setup. Now with ARMA supporting it and the ability to use it for more than just vehicles I thought about getting it.

messiahua 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah, i'm also interested in overall impression of using TrackIR in game, because I have already bought one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elcle 0 Posted November 13, 2006 2 vids of ArmA with TrackIR http://media.naturalpoint.com/video/gamedemo/PCF_Arma_TIR_p2.wmv http://media.naturalpoint.com/video/gamedemo/PCF_Arma_TIR_p1.wmv enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rg 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Yes, anyone with the game and TrackIR please respond. What axis' are supported for.....on foot/driving/flying? On Foot ------------ 1) Which axis do you lean with (X axis)? 2) Can you zoom into your iron sights more by moving your head closer to the screen (Z axis)? Driving/Flying ------------ 1) Is X and Y supported in vehicles/aircrafts? 2) If so, can you lean toward the sides of the cockpit looking out making landing easier and have better awarness? Anything I missed that is striking about the TrackIR support for ArmA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spitfire_142 0 Posted November 13, 2006 If you are flying the little bird can you lean your head out the side? Can somebody confirm THIS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperandy 0 Posted November 13, 2006 It was a question so you can't really confirm a quesion. but I would say NO in my sillyness.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire_142 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Oh yeah just realized. Just saw the PCFormat video but their is no cockpit view videos of the TrackIr in action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperandy 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah, bit silly to take Track-Ir videos from 3rd. person. But afaik they added one in 1st. person. Maybe check that site again mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rg 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Quote[/b] ]You can download the file @ Armed-Assault-Zone.com I don't see how those videos show TrackIR. It looks like mouse movement/free look. Well, I guess no one that has the game also has TrackIR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dslyecxi 23 Posted November 13, 2006 I will post a very comprehensive ArmA TrackIR video as soon as I possibly can. It'll be worth the wait, and if you aren't sold on them yet, you will be after watching it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rg 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Ahhhhh you already have the game man?? Can't wait for the video (I know you will make it good), but can you at least answer a few of the questions I posted above regarding axis' to the 3 elements of the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balschoiw 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Excellent Tech-showoff Dslyecxi. I´m seriously thinking about buying myself a christmas - present 150 Euro is still much for it, but maybe prices will drop a bit for christmas sales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
