| Sinden vs Aimtrak - Getting rid of your Aimtrak? or what’s making you hold on? |
| (1/8) > >> |
| Rockstead:
I’m curious if anyone has been confident enough the sell their Aimtrak’s? Or are you waiting to see what happens when the Sinden hits the market? I keep hoping Andy (Ultimarc) will pull a rabbit out of his hat and announce some sort of software update that will improve the performance of the Aimtrak’s to what the Sinden’s have demonstrated on video, but I’m guessing the technology will prevent that. Typically when I see an Aimtrak owner talk about the gun in a positive way, it’s because they are using crosshairs and now have a perception that it is accurate, while those without crosshairs seem to be the most frustrated. Personally I choose a small white border over crosshairs, I’m wondering where the rest of you stand? |

I was thinking of it but then I thought I could just use it to get everything set up and ready for when my Sinden gun arrives! I dont see what they could do with a software update. One thing I have wondered though is why no one releases a multi ir bar solution. My understanding is that arcades use IR guns but have bars all round the screen which drastically improves the accuracy. I know a lot of people wouldnt want ir bars all round their tv but I would certainly buy it if it was available! |

I still have mine connected to my mame cab and they wont be going anywhere. I intend on using the sindens down stairs on my big tv to play more modern games as well as the oldies. As for improving the AT’s I think it would require more hardware which I would not want on my mame cab. I used to have a top gun which had 2 bars and 4 reference points if I recall and that was utter crap so I think theres a little more to it than just the IR bars. As I found with my ATs environment seems to have more of a impact than anything keeping away from heavy light and reflective surfaces. |

Once calibrated owners are generally not frustrated at all as far as we hear. There are sometimes hurdles in getting calibrated but all are simple to overcome by reading through the troubleshooting steps on our site. |

I have aimtraks retro fitted inside Namco guns with the solenoid recoil mod. I only run Jurassic Park on supermodel and once calibrated they have been perfect for 2+ years. I use Deepfreeze to prevent anything in windows changing after boot so no calibration changes etc. The game has no cross hairs and is near pixel perfect for accuracy. :D |
