    "Investigate issues with adhesive strength" - Gonna be "that guy" here and point out the problem is you installed it wrong. If you follow their instructions they tell you to let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before mounting. This is like the 3M strips. You want to let them spend some time without a load to really be secure. Now to be fair no one has time for 24 hours after buying a new toy, but just slapping it right on is why it wont' adhere right. At least give it a few hours, the more the better. I left mine overnight and it has never fallen off.

    I know it seemed nice to add a layer of music to it, but it does become a competitor to your voice.
    A better solution and cheaper as you do not have to hunt for copyright / free use music is to select the music track in your editing software and hit the DELETE key and go with silence instead.
    So far, there haven't been any claims done towards silence and you can be free of competitors in the future when talking.

    I love my tobii 5 for many games and it's ALMOST there for DCS but still not - the head tracking is not precise. When you have to select dials, buttons, etc. in the cockpit the view will move around a bit all the time. Now the solution for me is to disable the dcs game in the tobii settings and instead use facetrackir which is really stable and good + you get the trackir effect in external view :) So now I get the best of both worlds for anything that supports either tobii 5 or trackir

    I have been using ET5 for the past 5 month. Although the initial installation of the ET5 is simple, when it comes to tuning it in DCS, it did take me some time, firstly to learn how to use it (Never used headtracking before), secondly it needed some tuning, before it was useable. I opted to turn of the eyetracking, as I couldnt get it to work comfortably. Might give it another go after this vid though. With that said, I really find it to be a quality product, and it also goes great with me playing Star Citizen :P

    I had a home made open track head set worked fine cost very little, got vr its so much better, although the resolution isn't as good as 4k the ability to look at a button and click from a hotas click is game changing, I've found I can click the buttons faster by looking at them than having them on hotas and button boxes.

    • @icecold9511

      VR downsides are minimal next to the immersion experience. Even in FS2020, where you want to see charts and things.

  • @SageNTitled

    For anyone thinking of getting this instead of TrackIR, don't. I own both, and can say that TrackIR's head tracking is leagues ahead of Tobii Eye Tracker 5. TrackIR is both more responsive and has more precision.

      Not necessarily depends on your screen size. If you have a normal pc monitor track ir is better for you but if you are like me and have a 45 inch 4k 120 hertz oled tv then toby is better. Reason is a loss of track at extreme angles due to large screen on trackir.

    I just want to raise a minor issue - If you have a monitor with the controls sited on the bottom edge of the monitor in the centre (LG LG 29UM67 29" widescreen) you can't use the variable angle clip (mount type A) to attach the eyetracker under the screen as it blocks access to the controls. I had to use one of the magnetic strips to attach it to the bezel at the bottom of the monitor.

  • @DZNTS123

    Disabling this setting resolved the issue.

    Thanks for your video. Trying this out from Amazon with a 30 day return policy. I have a 5760x1080 res. What resolution do you play DCS? Your video looks like you use a smaller resolution than your monitor is capable of? Is that just for this recording? Also, it would be nice to see all of your settings. From what I could see, my settings were way off from yours, so I am trying out what little that I can see of your profile. I don't even see 'Gaze Tracking' in your settings at all.. How can that be? As I do see the Ghost in your flying.. And is your Head Position enabled? Thanks again.

    • @richardhockey8442
      @richardhockey8442 2 роки тому

      The eyetracker has it own IR lights (the two panels on the far left and right ends, you can see the IR illuminators blinking at 5:08) so I don't think it relies on ambient lighting, except in the case where you might have the sun shining directly on it

  • @tomriley5790
    @tomriley5790 3 роки тому +1

    Have the 4c, which didn't come with a type A mount - put my own together from some sticky back velcro tape and a L cross secition piece of plastic - it's worked pretty well (velcro dot's weren't strong enough - it would fall off hence the need to use full length tape). Good that they've put this in now though - the magnetic fasteners didn't work well in this scenario at all. In DCS it needs some setting up, had to find DCS for it, adn the sensitivity needed tuning . It works really well in Elite Dangerous. I've never used IR so not sure how good that is. I've also used mine on a widescreen (despite the warnings) and it's never had a problem with that (again despite the original). Not sure about adding movement to the external views - when I'm in external views I'm usually looking around at the view centred on the plane, it would be annoying to have the camera slew around. That said I'm not sure I've completely got it completely set up optimally - would you mind sharing the settings you ended up using? (Great review by the way but agree with others here that the music was probably unnecessary)

    • @WyvernFalken
      @WyvernFalken 3 роки тому

    I bought it some month ago and tested it for some weeks but had to return it ultimately. The reason was I couldn't find a setting which really made it work for me. There was always a slight delay/input lag and I couldn't do snap views while dogfighting. The movement was just too slow for me. If you don't require really quick views for your game it's awesome because there's no gear on your head why I would have loved to keep it.
    Edit: It also hadn't had 6 DOF at the beginning of this year.

    For the lack of difference between the different eye tracking, save money and get the track hat / delan clip.

Again I'd save money and only reccomend spending that money on some decent flight hardware such as new hotas or rudder etc etc

    As far as clicking with eyes.

    Practicality and comfort are subjective. VR gives a lot more immersion. This has to be considered.
    The price of the oculus quest 2 itself costs about 300 euros and does not weigh so much as to give you a stiff neck. For the nausea just use it a little and you get used to it ... what it costs is the PC, but these preferences are also. However even if you use the Tobii and want to enjoy the game in high details you still need a good PC
    DCS is a game that focuses heavily on immersion. So if it's possible VR is better (I repeat: for a deeper immersion).

    I bought it few days ago and i'm quite satisfied despite it's not really easy to configure it in dcs. In flight it's very powerful and it's a real game changer. What's puzzling me is how to configure it in ramp start. How the heck , in a F16, you can look at switches located and far left and far right without rotating your neck like Linda Blair in "the exorcist"? And in the apache how you can boresight your weapon sys looking at the yellow dot while trying to press the B/S now button? That said, for me it's a huge YES but i guess i'll exploit tobii at full potential in 1 year or so. Thanks for your video!

      @WyvernFalken 3 роки тому

      It gets wishy washy if you enable both headtracking and eye tracking. I recommend doing one or the other. Also make sure you don't have automatic head centering checked as that will slowly move your adjusted head position to the center of the screen and that can really screw your movements. I couldn't get it fine tuned fully.

    Wow an eye watering price and no function in external views is a complete killer for me. Headset is also a must for me with as environmental noise without them destroys immersion. A flight sim environment (esp DCS) seems wrong without a comms headset especially in multiplayer and ATC use. Half the price and more functionality might make it a worthwhile option down the track imo. I use a battery pack TrackIR on a quality wireless headset and it doesn't restrict movement any more than being in a real cockpit with a comms headset.

    Product Update. Please disregard my previous comments. I bought the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 on Amazon. I've been trying to get the Eye Tracker 5 dialed in with DCS. It's way too jumpy at maximum zoom and it gets jumpy when I talk or breath alot. It's impossible to look at a distant aircraft at maximum zoom for ID purposes. It's also impossible to zoom in maximum for a stable view of a ground target. It's also impossible to zoom into guages and dials in the cockpit without jumping all over the place. I looked online and found some settings that DCS pilots use with this thing. Regardless of what settings I try, The Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is a handicap and it's a step backwards from the TrackHat clip Plus. I just initiated a refund on Amazon and I'm returning this thing. It was waste of time. I truly don't know if it will ever work at a high level for DCS.
