You could do the same thing with the mouse if you wanted to do it ( I think)what people dont mention is how un beleivably tough and sensitive the control is. I think it was an attempt by natural point to make the range of motion better. with trackIR is performs better if you slow your mouse down, but you lost tons of range, this I beleive is the by product, and hardly compares to the advantages and enhanced situational awareness of externals. I can't stand externals, but I go with the flow. I do not think that any hardware should provide it's consumers with advantages over those who dont have it or at least extreme advatagesbut lets face it theres nothing we can do about that
pople have better controllers etc etc etc trackIR is neat and allows me to follow a target through maneuvers which is awesome (like padlock) and heightens my immersion into the game, and thats why I bought it.The thing I hate about the externals is some dweeb can fly all day long watching his 6 low 6 highhis 345 789 oclocks all at once which ruins trying to sneak up on him I only use my TrackIR 50% of the time anyway, even with locked cockpits
