    How can I disable head tracking in the game settings? And no, I don't mean the option to deactivate it in the tracker software.

    Simple close the TrackIR software and its not active... TSW does not have a separate switch.... Or you can use the pause button in the software. Both LEDs on the unit above your'e monitor will coloured orange and than its paused the tracking

    Ok, I know that I can close or pause TrackIr, but now I'm at least sure that TSW doesn't have its own option, which is very weak (but somehow to be expected).

    TrackIR is not for a large group..... Its small and you can set the software self.

    A head tracker is nothing special these days, so it is simply weak not to include a corresponding on-off option. All other games that support a head tracker also have this option (at least all the ones I play). So it can't be that complicated. But as I said, I'm not really surprised.

    There is also nothing special about pausing or switching it off in the software if the game does not offer it.
    Whether I click here or there it comes to the same result, be thankful that TSW supports TrackIR at all. ;)

    I simply don't want to keep fiddling around in the head tracker myself and adjusting it over and over again for every game. I could happily do without headtracking in TSW, but it doesn't matter because I'm already tired of it and I'm very glad I only tried the free starter pack (I bought the first TSW back then). I actually thought I'd take another look at TSW 5, but I think I'll leave that alone (there's still no Ebula :mad:, for example).
    But thanks for the answers.

    How are you having to adjust it for every single Game? I've been using TrackIR for 20 Years, and once I set my Profile up, I never have to change it unless I want a completely different Configuration, which is only 3 clicks to do and done.

    Also in 20 Years of buying many Games purely for TrackIR implementation, I've only ever come across two Games that had a TrackIR Option to turn on and off. 2 Games in 20 Years. I do see Tobii in Options often though.

    However a Option really isn't needed. If you don't want to use TrackIR for a certain Game, simply don't open TrackIR. It's really that simple.
