I was at the point of frustration and sticking my Track IR on ebay until I came across your video. Now all is clear and my Track IR is working beautifully! Thanks so much :)
Thank you for this video! I thought Track IR5 would be plug n play. Not! I was about to send it back until I ran across your tutorial. I followed it to the T and now mine works. I'm still experimenting with different tweaks to get the best use now but, your video really helped me out.
Thanks for this video my trackIR has never been brilliant and sometimes played me up until i used your step by step tutorial and now its awesome. I have been suffering for about 15 years how embarrassing
I had TrackIR for years now and thought the "default" was just how TrackIR worked. I came across your video and boy was I wrong. Completely changed the way I see in my P3D/X-Plane/DCS now. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Hey Gerry I just purchased my Trackir and I'm so glad I came across you tutorial, your explanations of the different profiles was greatly appreciated and I hope will let me get through the setup of the software without too much trouble.
I struggled w/ setup for days until I came across your vid by Goggling & am glad I did. I feel I'm about 85% there. Need to fine tune profiles. The manual leaves a lot to be desired:( I was trying to program ALL axis at same time which really tripped me up. Thanks for getting me out of the woods. My wife & dog haven't seen or heard from me in days. I'm in my 60's & catching on quickly is not one of my attributes! It's been awefully lonely out there. Your teaching method & voice are very easy to follow & understand. I'm now a subscriber. Thanks, Jim
Hiya Gerry, Thank you for the video. Have been using TIR5 for more than 4 years now, but never really created any personal profile. I used the default profile with all its limitations. Things changed for me today. Thanks again.
Well done sir! Made me want to get back in the A-10! I have been concentrating on getting my I-11 test passed on Pilotedge, and scenery development. But now, you reminded me that there has been a certain lack in my life… And that is blowing shit up Thanks! Chas
I was a little frustrated, but then I found your exemplary video. Thank you so much, you really helped me a lot, to understand, and get my TrackIR function properly.
Gerry THANK YOU for this video, I was able to customize my TrIR for IL-2 1946 (thanks to this informative vid of yours) and now I don't feel............like I'm in a box with a whole cut out in the front, I now feel like the views are FULLY WIDE OPEN!!
Gary this is THE BEST presentation on TRACK IR setup on WWW! You brought my X-plane setup with Track IR from mediocre to close to real world. Thank you so much!
At last found someone that has a real talent for explaining things systematically and clearly, my trackIR for the first time now works great not only in DCS but other flight sims as well. Thank you.
Thank you Gerry. I am new to DCS and TrackIR. This video was very helpful. I am glad this is still relevant after 6 years after its posting. I am rediscovering PC flight simulation (original Falcon 4 jockey), and I am blown away with the DCS platform, it’s community and longevity.
Just watched your tutorial and I'm now going to have a closer look at my settings to see if I can resolve an issue which I find quite annoying. I have been using TrackIR5 for a few months now and it's probably the best single piece of kit I've purchased for my flight sim. That said, the issue I'd like to resolve is very similar to that outlined by Simon Skyfall (three entries below mine). Typically, when landing, the runway is often at a slight angle to the right despite trying to line up correctly. I have a switch on my HOTAS mapped to re-centre the TrackIR and find myself continually pressing this as I approach the runway. I'm hoping your tutorial will help me to fix this issue. Thanks for a great reference guide - this is not an easy topic to explain but I think we all agree you have done great job - well done.
Another great video demonstration. My A-10C flight skills would not be what they are today without your highly-detailed and informative tutorial videos. Thanks.
Not obvious from the video, but there's a vertical scroll bar, on the profiles tab, if you make sure its scrolled up (in the video its scrolled down), you should see the a profiles 'header' section, which has all the create/name/copy/save options. They all have smart help, so hover over them and you can see what they do.
Great How To tutorial. Helped me immensely. Now ising TIR with DCS A10c and Arma3. Next is to get Saitek X52 programmed. I see Saitek finally came out with new drivers for Windows 8.1. SST Programming software now works. Now to get X52 profile for A10c. Cheers
thank you Gerry,,, the only thing I need is to make some dead zone because my head moves way too much,, and also I fly more than one type of flfight sim.. IL-2, DCS, etc... but instead of my trackir cloeecting dust, I wil start using my TrackIR more often because you helped me more than anyone else.. YOu have a gift,,, trackIR should hire you to do help videos.. IMHO
Outstanding! I just purchased The TrackIR 5 and the clip...and while it was pretty good as a plug and play...your help is going to take to to a wonderful new level... Thanks!!
Thanks mate have been using for FSX with my own profiles for a while now, couldnt seem to get it right on DCS. Appreciate the level of detail provided in the video, cheers from downunder.
Thank you very much for this video...I just got TIR5 for Rise of Flight and it's causing me all sorts of headaches! Your vid is extremely helpful and I will see if I can translate it to RoF.
Absolutely love your videos and the very well paced presentation and clear direction you give, hope to see more! Some of your videos have helped me greatly thus far.
Very good instructional WD -- I use TrackIR for ARMA3: To use in Infantry/Helos/Jets you will need a 'Dead-Zone', because this allows slight head movement without any dramatic resulting movement on screen. Otherwise you can have distinct profiles for ground and air roles i.e. On the ground you will want a dead zone, whereas in the air this is not really needed, I find. (Primaate - HT/ TR KotH MP)
Nice video, Gerry. Very informative :) My setup was quite agricultural when I first set it up. I have been using practically the same one for the last 2 years. I will look at revamping to match yours. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much your video was a great help to me. i got my Trackir 5 pro today for DCS A10c. an its awesome, an yes you are right it does make me feel a little queezie to start with.. Once again Many thanks for your Help, you are Top man.
Hi Antimoni. No experience with FTNIR. TIR has a pause, which locks/unlocks the view, and a centering (reset view) button. Both can be mapped to any single key commands.
I just love your A10 vids, it feels like you was born in this machine :) I've learn here more than from any other subscribed channels. Thanks, and greetings from Balbriggan.
TrueView effects how the image responds when your head is turned through more than 90degs left or right. What i do is try it with and without, for each game and decide which suits best.
Hey to Gary, greatly informative vids. Thanks much. Questions if I may: Are you trying out any particular VR headset ? And are you liking it more than Track IR, if so ? Would like to know your CPU an peripherals if you feel to share. Also are you into Star Citizen at all ? Thanks for all yer time and great instructionals, keep em coming. Am trying to learn all about the A-10C. P.S. How about a vid where you take the C up to 25,000 then invert and hold level until the aircraft shuts itself off. Then right the craft holding level. Do a complete shutdown of all switches. Then restart the ship. Side note: if over a safe area would dropping all external stores be part of this scenario ? Peace, brother
+Dave Almeroth Wow, few questions there Dave..... VR: No, wont jump until tech matures more. CPU: 6700k@4.5Ghz. 2 gtx 670 sli. SC: No still in alpha. Video: Other BMS videos to come before the A10C 25k shutoff test im afraid. Jettison is always safe in the sim, weapons are not armed/fused. (actually don't see the reason for such, engine restart mabye, but does not need to be 25k.)
under the 'Advanced Settings', make sure the 'Profiles' tab is selected. Below that you will see a box labelled 'HotKeys' Key assignments are made there. Don't forget to 'save' the profile, from the floppy disk icon at the end of the profile line.
thanks for your great video- can you please tell me how to make trackir deafult to your custom profile every time it starts up- as I created a custom profile- but every time the software loads it loads the 'default' profile..since I mainly use trackIR for flight sims- the 'smooth' profile is still prefrable over the 'default' profile.. so at the very least, defaulting to the 'smooth' profile on starting up the software would be prefrable to it deafulting to the 'default' profile...thanks for anyone's feedback!
Hello Gerry....new to DCS & TiR. Your video is a must see and very helpful. (Much more so than from TrackiR.) Quick question please sir: I want to sit lower in the cockpit. I was trying to adjust the Y Axis but can't figure out how you got that bar graph to appear (10 degrees on the left side of center & 3 degrees on the right side) Just using the up & down arrows doesn't have the same effect. Is there a simple explanation you could share please? Thanks!
Hi Gerry have had TrackIR5 for some time and used it in FSX and have done very little tweaking. Your video has certainly opened up a whole new understanding of how to use much more of its features. I have recently downloaded DCS A10 and am very keen to use your profile. Once downloaded how do I import it? Also when I have a profile open displaying advanced settings I am not seeing the curve with all the adjustment points that I see on your video. Would appreciate any tips you might have. Thanks
if i understand the question, you need to have all the axis radio buttons under the motion adjustment section, ticked after you are happy with them (or only the ones you want, i for example dont use the z axis in ARMA). then hit the save button under the profiles tab, to save the settings.
Thanks Gerry for your tutorial i got a lot out of it being a new user. I still need to do a minor adjustment i was hoping you can tell me how to set it. The configuration i have done is based on your tutorial. I am finding that i am still moving my head a fair bit on the screen. How can i reduce this.
Hi Gerry, I'm signed up for your channel, I bought a TrackIr 5 with a hat clip, it comes next week, I'm flying BMS. I have questions to ask you !!! This BMS profile your posted, here in the comments below is for TrackIr 5 with hat clip ??? Did you update this profile? Please, can you guide me as to the TrackIr 5 hat clip ??? Thank you !!!
Same for both clip and track hat. Just make sure the setting in the software is for whatever you have. Just click on the button on the top left of the software.
I had this discussion before, see below. No matter , air or ground, Smooth curve with deep well, works much better than a 'dead' zone, as it guarantees there is no dramatic change to the view no matter what you do. If you really like the dead zone, then i suggest you DON'T have any sharp (fall off a cliff!) angles in the profile.
Very helpful RUclips. Thanks. I just took delivery of a Track IR 4-but it has the latest software. One thing I noticed when calibrating-I wear glasses with a photo gray coating to cut back on UV.. I could see not only the green dots-but red oblong dots from my glasses from the infra red reflected off my lenses when in CAMERA VIEW-and sometimes the red dots flash green when my head is at certain angles. Does this mess up calibration? I don't know. Just mention it. I fly without my glasses with no problems. But I was thinking maybe sunshine -artificial light may not just play with Track IR usage -but the UV coatings on prescription glasses. FWIW.
I have the same UV coaetd glasses, no issues here. Don't try to run it in bright daylight, cause you need the sensitivity up, and you glasses will be picked up. Best in low light, with no direct light onto the camera. Adjust the sensitivity appropriately. Camera veiw always the best for this job.
Okay-No problems so far aside from adjusting the sensor to my liking. I can't thank you enough on the video. It saved me a lot of time figuring out the software.
Hey Gerry, first of all thanks for this awesome guide and Merry Christmas. In the video you talk about having shared the profile, but you only shared a VAC system for DCS. Would be possible for you to share this profile so i can have a base to begin? Thanks in advance.
U can guess from the video, that I'm not a great fan of precision mode or dead zones. I just use constant centring with a well mapped centring button. Might take a little bit more to get used to it this way. Works and feels more natural. Map the pause button if you want to hold your view for a bit. You could start with deadzone, and gradually reduce it as you get more used to how it feels. You will get the best experience when you don't have dead zones.
Hi Sir, Thank you for the tutorial.Really helps alot. I have a question. How did you put the Trackir_z into the DCS zoom view ? I cant seem to find how to place it there. Would really appreciate your help Sir. Regards
DCS, Options, CONTROLS,A10 SIM (or whatever aircraft you wish to configure) AXIS COMMANDS. Set Zoom = TRACKIR_Z. Note you must have TIR active, for DCS to see it as a controller. Check out my video "DCS A10 Pit viewing with TIR and Cougar. "
Thanks Gerry for the prompt feedback...I figured out that for some reason when TrackIR is in full screen mode the curve display does not show the curve but as soon as I go out of full screen mode all is revealed. I have another query if you don't mind, I am used to using Ezdoc in FSX which allows me to create fixed stable views of the various pit panels that I assign to buttons on the joystick. Could you suggest how I might do something similar using Track IR?
Thank You Sir for an eye-opening video regarding the use of different axis than default. I'm currently trying to achieve a working solution with FreeTrackNoIR as I have an old webcam but apparently there is a good reason to pay for TIR5... P.S. in FTNIR there's also a key for game view center which resets game view to default. Haven't really lookes into it much yet but I imagine you could use the same button for both tracking and game centering if there is such function in TIR?

Save this video link friends. This is by far, THE best instructional video available for setting up TrackIR.
Thanks a lot for this! You did an amazing job of explaining not only how to calibrate but the very core concepts behind each adjustment.
this is the best video for track IR that I've come across. T hanks for putting in so much effort to educate us
Great to see people getting value from it after all these years. 😃
I use FSX. Great instruction and quicker understanding of TrackIR than trying to figure it out on my own. Thanks
Thanks mate have been using for FSX with my own profiles for a while now, couldnt seem to get it right on DCS. Appreciate the level of detail provided in the video, cheers from downunder.
I do not fly A10, but I do fly Warbirds. Your video has been very helpful, thank you!
This is the best explanation I've seen yet. Thank you

You're my "go to guy" for flight sim Garry. Thanks for your time and effort mate.
excellent walkthrough, thanks!
Many thanks for this! I've just recieved trackIR for christmas, and was having a little grief setting it up.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This was the missing manual for me!

Thanks for sharing.
Very informative. I can actually look around my cockpit now much more freely!
outstanding explanation Gerry, thank you for taking the time to make this.
This was very good and easy-to-follow-video. Thanks
Thanks. because of your video I could adjust my TrackIr more properly.
I was having a rough time of it, until I watched this video. Thanks.
Great video Gerry! Very clear and helpful. It's generous of you to take the time.
Thanks very much your video was a great help to me. i got my Trackir 5 pro today for DCS A10c. an its awesome, an yes you are right it does make me feel a little queezie to start with..

Gerry, I had no idea you can do that much with TIR. Great tips. Thank you. I am working on my new profile right now thanks to your suggestions.
Thanks Gerry, just got TIR 5 with Proclip and this helped with the setup.
Great video Gerry - just got TrackIR and this tutorial was a god-send. Thanks!
Your setup processes really helped me. Do you leave trueview really on?
TrueView effects how the image responds when your head is turned through more than 90degs left or right. What i do is try it with and without, for each game and decide which suits best.
Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for to help me set up TrackIR.
Cheers

Superb! Going to try out advanced settings now. Thank you for making everything so easy to understand.
Great vid, Gerry! Time to go back in DCS/F4 and this one is very helpful
Hey Igor, now you are a blast from the past. trust all is well.
Truly excellent! Thank you so much for making it so clear and methodical.
Thank you for the profile! Btw, which buttons on the Hotas Warthog do you use for pausing and centering?
G'day! A very comprehensive explanation - this is really helpful, thanks!!!
Thank you sir for creating this.....appreciate it very much
Brilliant upload mate, really appreciate your work 🥃
Very useful, Gerry,that just got me up and running with my Track IR :)

Did you update this profile?
Please, can you guide me as to the TrackIr 5 hat clip ???

Hi, many thanks for this very useful tutorial.
Great Video that helped me a lot. Stopped me from getting sick in the pit ;-)

Thank you for the tutorial.Really helps alot. I have a question. How did you put the Trackir_z into the DCS zoom view ? I cant seem to find how to place it there. Would really appreciate your help Sir.
Regards
DCS, Options, CONTROLS,A10 SIM (or whatever aircraft you wish to configure) AXIS COMMANDS. Set Zoom = TRACKIR_Z. Note you must have TIR active, for DCS to see it as a controller. Check out my video "DCS A10 Pit viewing with TIR and Cougar. "
Thanks Gerry for the prompt feedback...I figured out that for some reason when TrackIR is in full screen mode the curve display does not show the curve but as soon as I go out of full screen mode all is revealed. I have another query if you don't mind, I am used to using Ezdoc in FSX which allows me to create fixed stable views of the various pit panels that I assign to buttons on the joystick. Could you suggest how I might do something similar using Track IR?
Thank You Sir for an eye-opening video regarding the use of different axis than default. I'm currently trying to achieve a working solution with FreeTrackNoIR as I have an old webcam but apparently there is a good reason to pay for TIR5... P.S. in FTNIR there's also a key for game view center which resets game view to default. Haven't really lookes into it much yet but I imagine you could use the same button for both tracking and game centering if there is such function in TIR?
