Maybe start here…
as many stated in the forum thread i posted above, this is not an issue that can be adressed by any settings (especially not the one you just mentioned. Try turning down momentum, since it tends to mask the issue by making the mouse movment sluggish instead of stuttery).
The issue is that mouse movment, no matter the setting doesn’t translate 1:1 to inagame movment, like you would expect.
And yet mine does. There has to be something set differently between our two systems. It could be a mouse resolution setting. Honestly I have no idea, I cannot reproduce it on my sim so pretty tough to troubleshoot.
I don’t even have precision turned on. Just tried it and did not notice any difference.

One word - Yes
could you elaborate?
My trackclip replacement…
IR LEDs embedded into a comfy old ballcap.
You could probably get away with cutting the reflectors off your old clip and hot gluing them onto a hat. Be careful about positioning but its not critical. Just need a recognizable equilateral triangle from front and top.

I tried it now.. I see no issue

I’d say a thousand times yes. I cannot stand anything remotely simmy without it anymore. Be it ETS/ATS, this or any space sim. I feel like my head is fixated if the game does not support it. One reason I doi not play snowrunner for example.
And with the right curves (for example seth’s) for flight simming, it feels naturally in its movement to me. I’d rather go VR but the current offerings all have a too low ipd and this is the next best thing immersion wise.
I will never ever fly without it !!!

Definitely worth it. The 6 degrees of movement means that on base you can look around the cockpit pillars to see the runway and all the other freedoms it gives with head tracking is great.
I haver been using it since FSX and the outlay was well worth it.

Guess I’ll have to give it another shot and try to make some adjustments, thanks.

I just ordered mine! Hope it gets here soon.
I tried aitrack (one of the webcam-based apps) a few months ago and couldn’t stand it; very unnatural: if I turn my head to look at something, I’m now pointing my head and eyes away from the monitor so I can’t see it. I gave it up quickly when it became clear it could not produce a natural way to look around – at best you can keep your eyes looking at the monitor while jutting your head about in various directions, which is really unnatural to do. Based on that experience I have no interest in similar solutions like TrackIR.
VR is very natural in comparison, you can look around and actually look around. However VR, even if it solves the problems of pulling data into the VR view from your third-party add-on apps, is stuck with a resolution so low you can’t read the instrument panel without leaning very far forward or using an unnatural “zoom” feature, which is also unpleasant to use so I don’t use it either. 
VR is fun, but impractical for flying when you need your charts and data. TrackIR and similar seem awful, but people who like it seem to like it a lot once they get used to it. Personally, most of my flying will continue to be on a nice flat ultrawide screen.
The basic principle with TrackIR is that by the time I have scanned to the edge of my ultra wide I am looking behind me and can see my elevator. The TIR scan is scaled so that your eyes never leave the monitor. Feels completely natural and I would never fly without it.

I assume your setting was wrong. With usage of the TrackIR app and creation of “own curves” you can create a feeling like “real”. Also “look around” is possible in a way that your eyes not need to “squint” to 120degree.. it is not so important for a civilian sim like MSFS, but in DCS you need that and I had no issues ( one example )

That sounds like it would feel extremely unnatural, not natural. And in my experience with aitrack, it felt very unnatural.
Fundamentally, if rotating my head but not changing the direction my eyes face rotates the camera, it’s not going to look or feel natural.
(What I’d hoped from such software was to provide a “virtual window” through the monitor to look at the instrument panel, where motion of the head was fully natural. But this would be limited in side-to-side look without additional controls like a POV hat.)
Just try it. I find nothing unnatural about head or eye movements. I just look around as I normally do. The six axis part is great too. If I want to get closer to the panel, I just lean forward the way you would. To look over the panel a bit during taildragger takeoffs, I just sit up in my chair a bit and “bob’s your uncle.”

I did try aitrack, and I have reported in two separate posts above that it felt unnatural.
Given that, I have no reason to consider purchasing devices for TrackIR since it’s said to do the exact same thing with more precise tracking.
Don’t know anything about aitrack, just TrackIR 5.
