5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, October 27, 2008

This review is from: Naturalpoint Trackir 4: Pro By Ergoguys (Personal Computers)

I have bought the irlink a couple of weeks ago and boy, it is really amazing. I like to fly with IL-2 Sturmovik and X-plane and I considered buying multiple monitors so I would continuously be able to look left and right (e.g. looking at the landing strip while flying in the flight pattern).

But this is a *far* better solution! I really feel like I am in the cockpit and am able to look left, right, back, up and down. Again, this is totally awesome and amazing.

Don't tell the manufacturer but I would buy this gadget again if it was twice the money. No kidding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Immersive!, November 24, 2007

What a product! TrackIR will change the way you look at video games: literally AND figuratively. I forgot to start the TrackIR software before starting up FS2004 one time, and was amazed at how different the game felt without it.

The system is super easy to install, easy to run (just remember to start the app before the game!), and easy to tweak, if you want to (don't need to, for most games).

Cons:

1) Games that design for TrackIR are limited. There *are* dozens of games out there, some notably good ones (FS2004, Falcon 4.0, America's Army, Armed Assault, Combat Flight Sim, etc.), but TrackIR is still pretty new, and some of the implementations seem hokey, at best. Hopefully, more games in the future will incorporate this amazing technology.

2) The system hardware feels unbelievably cheap, especially for what you pay for it. Cheap, brittle plastic that feels like it'll snap just by picking it up. I had to return the first TrackIR I ordered because the TrackClip arrived broken. Poor hardware design and cheap materials selection simply are not appreciate, especially given the relatively high cost of this item.

The Pro:

It's worth it! Get one!
