Finally got my Edtracker Pro (wired). I only fiddled with it one night so cant tell much for now. But I can tell you its working very well. Never lost a tracking in intense flight. Its running super smooth Im very pleased with the device (for the money spent). It doesnt have 6dof but pseudo 6dof is working well. You can "lean" behind you tail no probs. Im using my head roll movement for that. I tested Edtracker only in IL2 BOS for now, tonite I will check in CLOD. Cable provided was a bit too short for me (2m) so I will buy longer microusb cable I will tie to my headphones cable. The Edtracker box itself is supersmall and superlight so I dont even know I have it on my headset. I only needed one calibration for the device to work properly. It isnt affected by the light and I can swing like madman with my head and I wont lose my tracking (unlike with TiR).
EDIT:
So now I had more time to play with the device and now I fine tuned all the settings and curves and this is working flawlessly, both in CLOD and BOS/M. Pseudo 6DOF is working really well, I can lean behind my tail (actual head roll is tied to x curve which is quite natural as in RL pilot would look behind and roll his head a bit). I can even "dive" into the cockpit if I want, with the right curve setting. The only issue I had is that I needed to invert x curve so I can lean properly behind my tail but now its reversed when Im leaning around the nose of the aircraft (when im looking forward). I need to figure how to fix that hovewer it isnt a big problem as the leaning behind my tail to check 6 is much more important and Im using that all the time. The tracking motion is superb, I would say, even a bit better than with TiR, I dont have issues I had (occasionally) with TiR (with TiR 5 sometimes I would lose tracking while looking around my pit, specially when looking up, since camera would lose tracking. Yes I tried with setting and camera angle positions). The device itself doesnt depend on cpu and FPS or background light so it is basically a super smooth experience. Also If Im correct it also doesnt depend how far away you are from screen (or if it is, its much less than with TiR). Opentrack is where all the curves must be done and also recentering hotkey set (it wont work in edtracker GUI!). I will post my profile and screenies later when I will be at home again.
