The 4.1.XX TrackIR software is designed to work with both the TrackIR 3 as well as the TrackIR 4. Try a clean install of the TrackIR software. Remove the TrackIR software by doing the following: a. Click "Start" b. Click on the "Control Panel" c. Click "Add/Remove Programs" d. Find "TrackIR" and click "Change/Remove" e. Once launched it will give the option to completely remove it. f. Delete the NaturalPoint folder at the following location, C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint g. Download and reinstall the software from the following location, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06-support/support-download-software-and-manuals.html

No issues..... Coolio, glad to hear it. Now you don't have to avoid ladders.....

Hmmm, I can't seem to reproduce with my version of the software - anyone else have this issue in the 1.05 software?

OK, sounds like an issue within the application. Similiar to it not working in a tank. Will have the developer relations team send a note to BI....

What happens if you recenter the view? Which version of ArmA are you running (1.05)? Did you notice this issue before updating?

Sometimes it is just a matter of personal preference. I like the new addition, but I can see the point of people who preferred the view before 1.05.....

If you have a profile you like for ArmA, send it to webadmin@naturalpoint.com, and they can post it on the community page.

1 - Double check to see if there is any other function that is mapped to the hotkey. 2 - Clean install of the TrackIR software. Remove the TrackIR software by doing the following: a. Click "Start" b. Click on the "Control Panel" c. Click "Add/Remove Programs" d. Find "TrackIR" and click "Change/Remove" e. Once launched it will give the option to completely remove it. f. Delete the NaturalPoint folder at the following location, C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint g. Download and reinstall the software from the following location, http://media.naturalpoint.com/software/TrackIR_4.1.030.Final.exe

I haven't seen the issue.... When looking on your tracking screen, within the TrackIR software, are you getting more than the 3 green dots?

We’ve just posted a video on YouTube that sums up what TrackIR brings to the table, please do check it out Basically one of our guys runs through how the motion sensing works, and shows examples of the cool new things it offers in the various flight, racing and FPS games that have special support for it.

No issues, have answered PM............

1 - Make sure the TrackIR software is running 2 - Start ArmA 3 - That's it, the blue light should activate on the TrackIR unit, and you should have TrackIR support in the application.

Sleepdoc, thanks for the welcome, but I have been around here for awhile, just don't usually have a need to post... As for the G-15 feature..... I ran it by the development team, and added it to the feature list myself. It may take a little while for them to get to it though, as they are currently working on software for GDC.

We are still using the Demo application here, as we haven't been able to gat a final version yet... As for eDimensional, they are currently one of our TrackIR dealers, and should be able to ship out a new unit to you within a couple of days.

We are just trying to show the technology that TrackIR brings to the table. Some people have never seen what it can do for your basic game play, and with the imminent release of ArmA in the UK.... Also, I'm always more than happy to answer any questions....

At the moment, Lomac 1.02/Flaming cliffs, Falcon4 and Forgotten Battles/Pacific fighters are supported. Known bugs. The in-game pilot head doesn't move realy smootly. Freetrack is not as good as a TrackIR. On exiting or while changing resolution, the video capture freeze the software quite often.

Nice review.....

Haven't heard yet if there will be or not. I will pass on the idea to the marketing department. Appreciate the input.

I haven't found any "new" videos with specific TrackIR content.

Sometimes it just has to due with the cost of the new hardware that goes into the new units. I.E. - the wider angle lens and prom chips for the TrackIR 4, just cost more than the ones for the TrackIR 3 units. It greatly increases easy of use for the customer, but we have to charge a little more to be able to make that available to you.

I'm just wondering if having always IR beaming at you might be problematic after some time. Since, if there'll still be the chance,  I do have the intentions to grab one, I've in mind to put the TIR on my head and the sticker on the monitor -or nearby! I know it may sound pretty silly to most, but I'm just trying to limit eventual dangers. I have these doubts simply 'cause 1) I'm not an expert, and 2) I just want to play safe, that's it! The TrackIR operates by tracking reflected or emitted IR light that is imaged by a CMOS sensor. The sensor and emitters are tuned to 880nm, slightly above the visible spectrum, you can see them emit a slight glow when the room lights are off, this is the very upper end of the red spectrum. The sensor and IR LEDs are covered by a very special plastic that we custom designed with Bayer to block all light below 820nm, it passes all light above this point, it is called a band pass filter. The LEDs emit at 880nm and are standard off the shelf IR LEDs, we run them all the time when the unit is turned on. There are 4 of them and they each have a total radiant output of about 23mw/sr, which is 23miliwats per ster radian. Total output power is NOT 4 X 23 mw/sr as the LEDS do not overlap exactly; they create a coverage pattern with slight overlap at the edges. Also, the LEDs to not emit a uniform brightness, they have an angle to half intensity, so the center of the overlapping LEDs is the SAME brightness as the center of each LEDs output, hope that makes sense. Your eyes ARE sensitive to IR light, you can’t see it, but your eyes will register the “power†of the light, your pupils will shrink down as if you were looking at light in the visible spectrum. Remember, we are just slightly above red in the visible spectrum. You won’t feel your pupils getting smaller when our device turns on because we are a relatively low level of light for an average room condition. If you turn out all the lights in the room, put the unit about 1 foot away from your face and watch your eyes in a mirror, you will see your pupils contract, they are “seeing†the IR light. As for the amount of power the LEDs output, it is many of times lower than simply going outside, not to mention on a bright sunny day. As I had seen posted before, we are a small fraction of the IR output from a normal incandescent light bulb. ANSI references spec ANSI Z 136.1 – 2000 for laser power emission, but we are not a laser, so in the back of the spec they reference ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1-96, which is the spec for lamp output, basically what we are and what ANSI says to use. Maximum exposure for our wavelength range, which is from 700nm to 1100nm is 10mw/cm2. To convert our power output, which is about 30mw/sr, we apply sr x 1cm2/distance2. Typical user distance is 18†or about 45cm (on the conservative side, most users are further away), so 30mw/2025 = .015mw/cm2. Needless to say, we are on the safe side! If you have any further questions or concerns please let us know.
