As one who has had a long, and troubled, relationship with TrackIR, I sprung for a Delan Clip which arrived (from England) yesterday. I've yet to get it mounted on the headphones, but want to check in with other WOFFers who have it. Do I have it right that one can install the driver and use the clip with the TrackIR software?

I am not able to check but I put mine on the left side. I don't remember installing any software tbh.

I don't have one, but I do remember their website clearly stating that it will work with TrackIR. I think that is one of their big selling points.

meant to add yes you can use it with TracKIR that's what I use it with and bought it specifically for. The old Naturalpoint clip broke after about 2 months of use, and had it taped up for the last few years. Finally had enough and went for one that would last more than a few weeks.

a shack in da woods
I almost left the shack on a beer run with a buddy wearing my TrackIr 2 ball cap with the TrackIr 5 three point hat clip, black duct tape over the original brim refelector, and bread ties holding the three point clip into the hat air holes.... screwy

New drive tru beer barn in PA. We never left the truck.

Got back and flew some WOFF, ....he forgot he was wearing the cap for a goood 4 minutes after some QC fun.

Now that's immersion!

Well...if I thought the Delan Clip was going to be the magic bullet solving my TrackIR problems, I was/am much mistaken. Billed as a 'plug-and-play', so far only the 'plug' part is working. The blue light on the PS3 camera is on, so that part is alive. But I got an error message when USB tried to install the included drivers. The message said:

Device driver software was not installed successfully
.....................................................
USB Composite Device (checked)Ready to use
USB Camera-B4.04.27.1 (Red X) No driver found
USB Camera-B4.04.27.1 (checked)Ready to use

The odd thing about this is that Line#2 and Line#3 are the same but say diametrically opposite things. In any event, I launch TrackIR and it says "No Device Detected" and (of course) the head icons don't move. I've been badgering Delanengineering Support on a daily basis, but they've not got back to me.

And D-Clip users with a suggestion?

PS3 camera? You don't need that for TrackIR?

Do you have a TrackIR? If so plug in this thing, clip it to your headphones/headset, then in TrackIR software choose "TrackClip Pro" as your "tracking".

You are talking about a PS3 camera and that is what is missing a driver??
You only need that if you are NOT using TrackIR, and instead using a free Head tracking software like FaceNoTrackir. If you are, then as per the delan website
http://www.delanengineering.com/manual/ scroll down to the PS3 bit..

?

(Hauksbee here. Password problems again, so I'm in disguise. "in mufti, as t'were.)
You are right Pol. I perched the TrackIR camera back on my monitor, plugged in my D-Clip and it works fine. I guess I simply mis-read the pitch on the Delan site. Ah well. If anything, it works better than the original TrackIR. I switched over from FRAPS to Mirillis Action! for screen caps. Like FRAPS, it uses F9 to start the capture, but does not conflict with TrackIR F9 which pauses TrackIR. A blessing.

OK great, yeah the Delan website could do with some clarification but it's basically the same as a TrackClip Pro. Action is pretty good yeah. Fraps hasn't moved with the times unfortunately.

The password problems must be some program or setting on your PC Hauksbee?

The only advice he could give was to run a program called CCCleaner and check the box that says "Open Saved Passwords". This will clean out all passwords and that I could re-create them when I next visit those sites. But that is casting a very broad net to try to solve a single problem site. I've looked all over the SimHQ site, and I see no "Contact Us" link. Does anyone know a person that is contactable at SimHQ?

List there of SimHQ contacts plus an email address.

Doug used to run the site, but no longer . Not sure who is the main man now.

I think it might be Tom '20mm' now.

Got a reply. It seems that passwords are stored somewhere in the bowels of my browser. SimHQ can reset my password, but not look at the current one. So next I check in with my tech guy and find out where they are in Firefox and delete the outdated ones.
