No problem, I think you would really like it. Matter of fact, I don't think
I know of anyone that has gotten one that did not like it.
It's been a little while since I ran FS2004, if memory serves it only works
in 3d view, I can test it to be sure though. Tonight my daughter took off to
spend some time with me, we're going to watch a movie and order a pizza, so
I won't have time to mess around any with it tonight..
I would be glad to share my custom profiles with you and Bob as well, can I
post them here or would it be better to email them to y'all? They are not
very large, less than 4kb each in size, I have two, one for IL2 /FB/AEP/PF,
and one for FS2004.
Like I said, they are only slightly tweaked versions of the included flight
sim profile, I like a little more dead zone and exponential curve it mine,
to make very slight head movements to equal very little movement in Track
IR. It really is easy to adjust and try different settings, ultimately
you'll want to tweak it to your liking...
