View Full Version : TrackIR - Think about this....

There is a topic that the NaturalPoint beta testers talked about for a long while back when we were dealing with IL-2 and getting enhanced mode into IL2-FB.

For those of you that use a TrackIR for virtual flight and have flown in real life, you can see one issue that is real annoying. You cannot "lean" your body to see around canopy frames and struts.

With the technology that we have today, this would be a simple thing to impliment. Instead of looking left to right only, you can also 'lean' left to right.

This will solve many reality issues and make the TrackIR and the view system in FO so much more realistic.

The nay sayers will say "Youre strapped in to tight to lean" but then they have never flown or flown in a fighter aircraft before. :)

Devs, if you like the idea, you have my email address.

Well said Terry, and i can vouch for that being a R/L pilot. If that could be implemented it would be great for realism and immersion.

It is very simple to impliment actually.

In fact, MS FS2004 already has the "ability" to do this, but they have not set it up to happen.

It is just a matter of finding developers that are willing to do it. All you need is a few extra view commands and a few extra key presses. :)

Had a good response from Buckshot regarding the issue. When they get to that point in the code, we will take a look at getting this in there.

Heres to hoping.... :drink:
