TIR woes

After approx 18 months, the cheap sticky tape that I used to attach the pen top (to which my TIR dots were stuck) onto my cap has finally started to lose it's stick. End result being my TIR is a bit floppy when I move my head around.
Before going to the expense of buying a whole roll of duck tape, I'm keen to investigate any other TIR dot solutions people may have. For want of a better phrase, how do you mount yours?

I cut the round end off of a cheap pen. Super glued it to a map tack and then stuck the map tack into the brim/bill of whatever gimme cap I had handy at the time......
The thought of you flying in that PINK hat still makes me grin..

I use one of TIR's dots on the boom stick (i.e., mic) of my headset. But I like your pink hat/duck tape thingy.

Cute little lamb in the background btw mate.

Thanks.... she's called Cheldrea
I did try the boom thing when I first got it, but I don't use the headset when offline... hence the cap.

Nice specs!
Ever find yourself going out into the street still wearing them?
Might have to give that a go.... now if only I can find some glasses like that

Tir is for Track IR (I assumne the IR stands for infra red)

It's used to track head movements to emulate mouse movement. So rather than use a mouse or hatswitch to look around you in the cockpit, you use TIR. Keeps your hands free. Adds a bit to the immersion as well.

Have you tried VAC (Voice Activated Commands) yet Gurb? I enjoy them offline hence I am always wearing my headset.
