Much cheaper but still something you have to attach to your noggin, but that's the case with trackir as well.

Personally I went for an eye tracker as impulse get, problems with this is it has to mount it to your screen, and the device can't be further than about 70cm away from you, so that also goes for the screen..
And it took me about 6-8 weeks to get used to it...


I agree with Tor, ED tracker Pro is best bang for the buck unless you have Soldering skills and patience, then its the Regular DIY ED Tracker.

Two members of the A-Team (Dawg and Myself) use the ED Tracker Pro. Its a Big Thumbs up and a hell of a lot cheaper than TrackIR. If you have games that don't allow you to map joystick axis for head tracking, then you can use OpenTrack with ED Tracker. I have had mine since November and never play without it. I have used it in Warthunder, Cliffs of Dover, as well as ED. With WT and COD I used it with OpenTrack and didn't have an issue, although many who do this want the extra axis of Lean Forward/Back Up/Down Lean Left/Right. ED Tracker is 3DOF where TrackIR is 6DOF.

Now Cmdr. Kharma (another A-Team Member) uses TrackIR and he uses it for more than ED. He had it prior I believe as he had it for DCS World and X-Plane. I have used a friends TrackIR as well. It is great and Kharma may argue this point with me, but I don't think it is worth the extra cost. If you need the extras that you can get from TrackIR in other games, and YOU think the extra cost for it is worth it, then that is a good choice for you.

From Mine and Dawgs Experience, and I am sure he will pipe up when he sees this, is that the ED Tracker works Awesomely, and the Price for us non-able kit making types for someone else to ship me a little box and cable that works and has a warranty is hella cheap compared to other options.


Precisely it also seem the cost of a trackir varies greatly between regions.
Seems the US can get one for about $100 but for me in Norway it would for some insane reason be at least twice that.

And I'm siting on pins needles as is waiting for my VR HMD which is plenty expensive...


just been doing a bit of reading into ED Tracker, does it HAVE to be plugged in at all times? the USB ports on the front of my pc aren't exactly the best and i'm worried that it will unplug at a bad time and leave me looking at the inside of my own head :P

Yes it does have to be plugged at all times.

Never used a Track -IR, but the ED Tracker does its job very well thank you. I used it for a week in CQC, and while it takes some time to get used to, I found out that it offers extreme advantages and helps your situational awareness so much, that I doubt I will revert to not using it, especially when combat is involved.

Currently though, since I am on an exploration trip I have it collecting dust on the shelf. I can't find any use for it in such a case, since when I explore I tend to relax and I don't need the extra cable out of my headset.

My only complain is that I can not make it to work with classic Il-2.

I think that there is a wireless version upcoming. This will may well suit your needs.

hmm, well there are only 2 other games that I (currently) plan on using it for, ETS2 and FSX and I can't see a reason for the full 6DOF at present, if I was playing some FPS games then maybe... hmm, I might go for the ED Tracker for the time being, It as about a third of the price of the TrackIR for the time being so that's probably the better option, I could probably use the rest of my bonus on getting my pc upgrade started...

I have become murderer!

It seems that you get merits with Aisling Duval by interdicting and killing rival diplomats. Cold blooded woman, at least with Patreus you fought in military strikes fair and square.. :D

Undermining has always been around in PP as far as I know. You probably just didn't go looking for it before. :)

I enjoy undermining, it's a change from the typical combat scenario.

I know that's undermining has always been there. But if i understood correctly the way Duval fights against others expanding is to kill those diplomat ships. It's more than likely that i just understood it wrong... :lol:

But the funny thing is how hard it was actually attack "innocent" diplomat for the first time, but now it's getting easier and easier.. :evil:
