For flight sims and racing games thats definitely a cool trick, definitely something I would want in my next racing game.
But the first person shooter bit has got to be among the most useless technology I have ever seen. In order for it to be of any use, you would have to impose limits on turning speed just like there are in Descent/racing games/flight sims.

Yup, I have a Track IR2. Pretty neat thing. They are up 5 now? Grendle works next door to these guys. 
It's not so hot for Descent as even though XL supports it, you only get to turn the ship not the pilot's head inside the cockpit. (of course that would require a complete remake of the game.) ArmA II supports it though.
Krom, for games like Lock-On and IL-2, it's almost necessary. The fights can become so intense, following your target visually with a stick hat becomes futile. T-IR gives you a real edge in those games. Kind of like having a 3D Pro over a mouser back in the day.
Example of LI-2

I have TrackIR4 PRO and the TrackClip PRO. Got them together with a Dslyecxi Discount about 2 years ago.
Black Shark is fun and the rest of the fully supported sims, not to mention when BSG-Beyond the Redline is released for FS2-SCP ...oh man

There is a slight Bug in CFS3 with Track IR,, easy remedy though.. IF you do not have Logitech Mouse you have no Issues....... your done.
If you do have Setpoint installed CTRL-SHFT-ESC to Task Manager Kill Setpoint.exe .. Launch Game CFS3
Track IR support was an afterthought for Microsoft and was not included in the game's Original Release and is added to CFS3 with the M$ CFS3 Update.. Microsoft was lazy adding the function of TrackIR and fudged it with special mouse calls... must have been an Ex Outrage Employee

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

What is the "slight bug"?
Fighting villains is what I do!
