Cool deal. I posted a question about TR support on their forums not too long ago and they said it was in development but I didn't realize it would be ready this soon.

Track IR, which I actually posted to this group by mistake (was intended for Flight-sim... The site explains it all.. and I *think* GTR will have support built in also, though to be honest I don't see the need in a racing sim... http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/ Icer >On Thu, 5 Aug 2004 16:41:05 -0500, "Plowboy2" <stingre.removethis_@yahoo!.removeit> wrote: >What is TIR, or TR?

Are you kidding me? Have you seen some of the Pit Babes they have been sneaking into these sims? We need full rotation babeee..... Really tho...having visable side mirrors often means your eyepoint is back by the rear wheels...a device like track IR would allow a driver to glance at a mirror that normally would be out of his view...or look down the pitlane when exiting a pit garage, so you don't run into another car...same thing when re-entering the racing surface after a spin...you will have much greate SA and be able to avoid wrecking another car. Finally Oval racers will benefit...how many times has a car disappeared from your field of view, only to slam into your rear fender the moment you think about changing lanes? A quick glance could save the day. dave henrie

Absolutely! And driving sprint cars will finally make sense once you are able too look out the side of the car while moving sideways.

I can see all these arguments being good with VR goggles, but with the Track IR, you have to move your head to move the viewpoint, but you are still looking at a fixed viewpoint (the monitor) so you end up glancing sideways at your screen, which is rather unnatural. Stephen
