After building a freetrack system I was also seasick trying to use it at first. The defaults are functional but not human centric.
I dont know how the track IR interface works, but I have heard that both it and freetrack are very similar. You have curves that you can adjust to create a deadzone. I have mine set up to snap and hold my view into the neutral or forward view when my head is close to center.
My curve chart reads 0-50 (in "inches?") on the left and 0-180 degrees on the bottom of the graph. From 0 to 2 degrees my curve is very steep with a rounding out up to around 3-5in and then linear path out to 50" and 180 degrees. I have this set for all axis in both rotation and translation. I was able to copy and paste the curves by right clicking on a curve setting that I liked.
Ref attached jpg file.
Once you have your curves set, you will need to tweak sensitivity and smoothing. I set my yaw to 1.5 and use 1 for the pitch. Roll is nice once you get used to it; dial it way back, mine is set to (.5). Smoothing set to 140 for all.
XYZ axis for 6DOF are set to 1,2,1 respectively. Smoothing is 150.
