This Made Me a Better Sim Pilot – Tobii Eye Tracker 5 in MSFS 2024

Visual flying in helicopters demands precision—and in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, your viewpoint is everything. If VR isn’t quite your thing (or your budget), eye tracking might offer the immersion you’re after. In this video, I test the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 and, though it's not perfect, I'm surprised to find it's making me a better helicopter sim pilot! You'll see how Tobii enhances situational awareness, aids with smooth landings, and adapts to head and eye movements—without a VR headset.
