TIR woes

After approx 18 months, the cheap sticky tape that I used to attach the pen top (to which my TIR dots were stuck) onto my cap has finally started to lose it's stick. End result being my TIR is a bit floppy when I move my head around.

Before going to the expense of buying a whole roll of duck tape, I'm keen to investigate any other TIR dot solutions people may have. For want of a better phrase, how do you mount yours?

I cut the round end off of a cheap pen. Super glued it to a map tack and then stuck the map tack into the brim/bill of whatever gimme cap I had handy at the time......



The thought of you flying in that PINK hat still makes me grin.. :lol: :roll: Image

I use one of TIR's dots on the boom stick (i.e., mic) of my headset. But I like your pink hat/duck tape thingy. :D Cute little lamb in the background btw mate. ;)

Thanks.... she's called Cheldrea

I did try the boom thing when I first got it, but I don't use the headset when offline... hence the cap.

Nice specs!

Ever find yourself going out into the street still wearing them?

Might have to give that a go.... now if only I can find some glasses like that :)

im new and i was wondering wat is a TIR?

Tir is for Track IR (I assumne the IR stands for infra red)

http://www.naturalpoint.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's used to track head movements to emulate mouse movement. So rather than use a mouse or hatswitch to look around you in the cockpit, you use TIR. Keeps your hands free. Adds a bit to the immersion as well.

Have you tried VAC (Voice Activated Commands) yet Gurb? I enjoy them offline hence I am always wearing my headset.
