Hi James, this is in SeaVee's information, and it is what I use (did you see it?).

Some people also like to use the "Gunsight" key command (SHIFT+ Numpad Enter)[/color]. This command toggles on/off Vector Expansion and in effect makes it ALOT easier to keep the reticle centered in the gunsight. This is an invaluable command as it allows you to turn on or off Vector Expansion at will. I don't use it much but if you do frequently you may want to program a joystick button to this command.

I also have a couple of joystick buttons programmed to zoom in or out the FOV (CTRL+numpad Plus or Minus) and do this as needed.

Hey.

It seems that your profile is no longer available for download. Is there anywhere else I can get it?

Cheers.

Seems the link died because its been more than 30 days since the last download. Here is a new download link:

http://www.electronicfiles.net/files/19 ... rofile.zip

Once your download it just right-click the zip file and unzip the profile into (assumes you installed the TIR software to the default install location):

C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint\TrackIR4\Profiles

I'll update the link on the first post in this thread as well.

I am glad to have SeeVee's TIR4 file for BoB2.
The only part I change is to the Hot Keys by setting them as ALT; CTR; SHF \.
Those key combinations are seemingly not used other wise.
When first using the file my heads flipped about until finding the right setup and printing pix of it for later info when reinstalling the system.
PS. seems I cannot change easily in SeeVee's new downloaded file for my new reinstallation so will accept his [; \ and ].

Hi Joachim, good to see you back on here. I sent you a PM almost a month ago which you have not seen yet. You might want to check in your message folder for it :wink: .

Thanks Larry.
I have been very busy with setup/switching the single and the dual core cmptrs as well with other obligations (a sick wife as well).
Also noted my profile not setup to note PM's and have changed that.
Will look into Gliders soon.

Does anyone else have trouble getting the guns to fire through the pip after a bunch of TIR movement? I'm finding I need to recenter often in a dogfight.

This may help. This is what I do for a set up but you may or may not like this. I have shift (on number pad) enter = shift enter to center the gunsight. i have that programmed on my hat switch. I do not check head bob in game option, leave "head bob" unchecked. I also programmed SeaVee's Track IR's commands, pause, center and precision hot keys on my throttle.

Sorry, I do not have it right now (harddisk failure). Maybe someone else has it or SeaVee may be along in a few days as he checks in often.
