TrackIR Software 5.4がリリースされた。
TrackIRはヘッドトラッキングデバイスの一種で、頭の動きを検知し、シミュレータに反映することができる装置だ。
Oculus Rift等のVRデバイスと違い、視線は画面を見つづける必要がある。
利点は現時点でサポートしているゲームが多いこと、価格がVRデバイスより安いことがあげられる。
5.4でのリリースメモは下記の通りとなる。

New Features
- Added a toggle setting: “Automatically Minimize On TrackIR Enhanced Title Launch.” In prior versions of the software, this behavior would always occur.
Feature Enhancements
- Joystick/controller hotkeys now correctly differentiate between devices, rather than treating e.g. “Button0” on every device as identical.
- The 2D camera view is now horizontally mirrored (similar to a standard webcam) for a more intuitive user experience. If desired, it’s possible to revert to the previous behavior using the viewport context menu; see the manual for details.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where certain settings (including template curves) might not be correctly migrated to per-user settings directory.
- Fixed an issue where certain NVIDIA GPUs might step down to a lower power state while the TrackIR software was active.
- Fixed an issue where the settings pane could appear truncated at large vertical resolutions.
- Fixed an issue where hotkeys bound to recenter would trigger a second time on release, rather than just when pressed.
- Fixed an issue where mouse hotkeys could exhibit noticeable latency.
- Fixed a crash when resizing the window after the hardware had been disconnected.
- Clarified the text of several error messages.
- Fixed ranges of speed/smoothing slider increment buttons.
- Increased default splitter width to remove unnecessary horizontal scrollbar from settings pane.
Known Issues
- Since version 5.3.0, the TrackIR software requires Windows Vista or newer, and can no longer be used with Windows XP or below.
