Is anyone in the community using Freetrack at the moment? I've ben giving more thought to finally implementing it, and was wondering how well it works with EECH, and how it compares to TrackIR.

Any comments would be greatly welcomed.

I can't compare it to TrackIR, since I've never tried trackIR, but...

I got FreeTrack mainly for EECH and it works beautifully. I can't fly any sim without it now.

I built a FreeTrack device and used it for a while. It never really functioned that well and I was constantly changing settings and trying to fight against changing light conditions. My cam used to crash a lot because of the load so in the end I stopped using it. I'm sure it works for most users but you definitely need quite a lot of time to build and configure it.

I now have TrackIR 4 and in comparison it's a no-nonsense, no-hassle device that works right out of the box.
