Honestly after reading many reviews and watching videos of both products in action, I recommend DelanClip unless you have a very serious simulation rig. Both products work very similarly by tracking inferred light beamed from an object attached to your headset. The difference in performance is hardly noticeable. Instructions on how to setup the software/equipment can be found on both sites...

Step 2 - Joystick to Mouse Emulation (Optional)
Both TrackIR and FreeTrack allow for 6Dof. If for some reason however you are still having issues it may be due to the fact that NR2003 only allows joystick input for cockpit viewing...Peter Dikant created a program named "Tir2Joy" that works with Deon van der Westhuysen's "PPjoy". PPjoy creates a virtual joystick, and Tir2Joy maps the mouse movements to this device. Download
1) Install PPJoy and start the program. (search your start menu for "Configure Joysticks" if you cant find the program". Click Add > Add > Done. This is a one-time process
2) Run the head tracking software, then start Tir2Joy each time you race. You can see that the program is working correctly if the data changes as your mouse moves.
