Back to Page 5 Lock On: Modern Air Combat I want to thank Matt Wagner and Clint Hayashi for getting me a Gold Copy of LOMAC for the TrackIR2 Review. I was pleasantly surprised to see a manila envelope with a copy of the game on my porch two days after asking Matt. I […]

Back to Page 4 Aces High II Public Beta Right now, this looks to be the “gold standard” of future online flight simulations that will be able to use TrackIR. Some games like Warbirds III and WW2 Online have some mouselook capabilities, but AHII looks to have this capability enabled by default. Some of […]

Back to Page 3 IL2: Forgotten Battles Cockpit panning is smooth and effortless in IL2:FB. Oleg Maddox was one of the first developers to recognize the potential of the device and developed IL2:FB with TrackIR support. It certainly shows in the game as it is pretty easy following enemy aircraft with the TrackIR. Earlier […]

Back to Page 2 Ease of Use I will go through various simulations that either support the TrackIR2 system via enhanced mode or with mouse emulation mode. If you fly games that have mouse view emulation (like IL2: Forgotten Battles, Flight Simulator 2004, Lock On: Modern Air Combat, Aces High II Beta, or Falcon […]

Back to Page 1 Installation and Setup Setup of the hardware is relatively simple. Under Windows XP you just install the software from the disk, plug in the TrackIR and you are underway. It is recommended that you not install the device to a USB Hub so those folks with limited USB space may […]

by Thomas “WKLINK” Cofield Introduction Well, Well, every few years another device comes along that people look at as the potential end all be all for flight simulators. Many of us have spent small fortunes on HOTAS Controls, fancy input devices, high quality mice and various other gadgets (anyone remember the Saitek PC Dash? Huh?) which supposedly improved […]

A Lock On: Modern Air Combat Mission Report by Cat Hello, my friends! I am honoured again today by my selection once again to help the Americans prepare themselves for missions in our operating area. Very few of us are so trusted. In addition to the A-10s of Col. Martin, over the last several weeks […]

Back To Page 5 We land in perfect formation, and I tell the tower to have a jeep meet me at the flight-line. I must brief the Commander; action must be decisive and swift, for the Cube now commands the southern skies. Download a pdf of this article here (799 kb). Fly it!

Back To Page 4 The IRLF pilot evades the Sidewinder with a good maneuver and use of flares, but my Sparrow is not so easily defeated. The MiG detonates with a fireball, but my TEWS is singing a lock-on tune. The SAM has locked me. I go for the water and look to the coast-there […]

Back To Page 3 “Two, break left! Missile launch!”“Two, engaged defensive!”Again, the AMRAAM had not gone active in time and it flies wild. The MiG has lost its radar lock, though, in evading the AMRAAM, and his R-27R also flies wild. And he has opened himself up to my attack.I close, and salvo off a […]

Back To Page 2 I warn Troy off, as the TEWS shows the first spike of the MiG-29 radars as they rocket off the concrete. “Two, pince left! One, shooter. Music on!” “Two.” “Weapons free!” “Two, engaging left.” I focus on the right MiG, and lock him up in TWS, designating an AMRAAM. The […]

Back To Page 1 The F-15 is much like my beloved Su-27P. This is no surprise, as the Su-27 was developed specifically as this plane’s adversary! Both are incredibly powerful! Even heavily loaded, the Eagle leaps into the air, just as my beautiful Crane would have done! It loves to fly. It is the […]
