So I broke down a bought a TrackIR 5. I had played with a face tracking program (not reliable enough) and contemplated building my own. I decided to just go with the big boys on the block to be safe. I feel like the price is a total rip off compared to what it must cost to produce the items that came in pack.
BUT!
It's a totally different experience. Once I got the "center" button mapped to something convenient and turned the "smoothing" all the way up, I was AMAZED (still gotta figure out how to increase the dead zone though).
This is the ONLY way I could imagine flying totally in cockpit and keeping decent SA.
Since I play on a large plasma screen and sit back a bit from it (recliner ya know lol), I was afraid the tracker would not pick up the reflectors. No problem.
Ya'll talked me into it. You owe me $150
