In fact, here’s a bit of trivia about the horizon bar.

***It’s not about keeping the horizon bar on the “horizon.” As altitude increases, the perceived horizon shifts lower with respect to the waterline of the aircraft. This is due to the fact that the earth is a globe. The higher you go, the lower the visual horizon will appear. The Horizon bar in any HUD is a reference for the flight patch marker, nothing more. It will only appear on the “horizon” at sea level, as with any real HUD.***

Here’s a video of TrackIR being used.

And here’s a little snippet from their site:

‘True HUD collimation provides accurate velocity vector/flight path and targeting indication under all flight conditions. Designed with TrackIR users in mind, you’ll find no equal in terms of HUD performance and accuracy.’

Thanks!

I’m not sure this is the best place to really discuss them, however, as it takes away the topic from Pup’s review. If you haven’t already, could you sign up and post your question in our FSX forum? That way we can probably find what you need. Unfortunately the Alphasim Enterprise is one of a kind right now – no-one else has done one quite to that level of detail in either FSX or FS9 – but there are other options available, depending on what you need.

They’re called, ‘USS Enterprise Scenery’ and can be purchased here:

Unfortunately my FS9 installation has died (it will load, but then crashes) and I’m not reinstalling it now as I’m using FSX by default, but this one would be right at the top of my shopping list, were I still in the FS9 camp.

Excellent review!
