A Closer Look At The AimTrak (with video goodness)
Ginsu Victim:
Very nice write-up, Randy. You made some great points and I'm glad to see Andy agrees (I sure as hell liked your ideas). I knew you would be fair and you were.
bkenobi:
Thanks Randy! I am currently using GunCon2's with the PC driver (as I've mentioned before), so I'm looking for an improvement in setup and capability. Your review is EXACTLY what I needed to know. Right now, it looks like I will be staying with my current configuration. HOWEVER, as soon as some of these calibration issues are dealt with (or my CRT TV dies), I'll be looking to upgrade.
Loafmeister:
Great review Randy, lots of good info there too and a great recommendation for the off-screen calibration.

If you have a tube display (especially a larger one) and you want to get closer to it, you might want to look at the GunCon2 and PC drivers first. Even if the distance doesn't bother you (it's pretty acceptable, even with a 27") you may still want to hold off a bit until the calibration routines take tubes into consideration a little better. If you are used to "trick calibration" techniques from using LCDTopGuns, then it might not be a big deal for you. If not, you might end up really frustrated, really quickly.
Personally, I'm happy I purchased it and am looking forward to revisiting some of the old titles with the new toy.

How would I connect a GunCon 2 to an arcade monitor using a arcadevga?
Lilwolf:
btw, has anyone tried the wide angle lense from a door peephole trick yet? I hear they are about 5-10 bucks and will come with a decent end that could be added to a gun. (I hear you want the 160degree, not the 200). But I'm not sure if will help with the distance... or if the aimtrack already has a wide angle lense on the end)
