TrackIR gives you the ability to immerse yourself in the virtual cockpit allowing you to take command for a pilot's full view of the flight deck. While taxiing onto the active runway or turning onto final approach in your Boeing 747, with TrackIR just a turn of your head gives you a realistic pilot's view of the world outside. Challenge yourself and test your flight skills using TrackIR.
With more than 24,000 airports located on every continent, players will be able to explore their home town or a favorite far-off city.
Players will be able to experience what it is like to be a pilot and have real distractions, to shade their eyes from the glare of reflective paint and the glint from glass and chrome. Players will enjoy the opportunity to fly their dream aircraft, from classic seaplanes like the de Havilland Beaver and Grumman Goose to the Cessna 172 there is a plane for every terrain and every player.
Like
FS2004, FSX is
TrackIR Enhanced.
New view mode features:
One of the new features of FSX is the expansion of TrackIR into the different view modes.
You still have use of the TrackIR in the
"Virtual Cockpit" mode, with full 6 DOF support, but this has also been expanded to the other views as well.
As always, to disable the TrackIR rotation in the different view modes, just press the F9 key (default) to pause the TrackIR software.
- "2D Cockpit" mode - TrackIR has support for head movement in both the Yaw and Pitch axes.
- Outside View: Tail – Similar to the 2D cockpit mode, in that there is support for both the Yaw and Pitch axes.
- Outside View: Spot – Rotating your head in the Yaw axis direction (looking left and right) will cause the view to rotate to the side that you are looking at (i.e. if you look to left, your view will rotate so you are looking at the left side of the aircraft).
