Funny how some really excellent threads get overlooked. If you have WOP/IL1946 (or any game that benefits from Track IR), and haven't spotted the thread in the Yu Play WOP forum, you can DIY 6DOF Track IR for peanuts using FREETRACK (yep...FREE!) software and a webcam! If you haven't heard of this and would like TRack IR for your PC sims then well worth the read.......http://http://forum.yuplay.com/index.php?showtopic=486 (http://forum.yuplay.com/index.php?showtopic=486)

I was going to ask my missus to buy me one for a birthday present but hopefully I will have one up and running tomorrow, in which case she can buy me......erm......SOW or the WOP sequel...or may be both.........YES!

I hope for future console flight sims we can use the PS3 move controllers, curious how that would work. By the way, you are right no need to spend 100 plus dollars on something that takes an hour to build and around 15 bucks. I just dont like it much because you need your head still most of the time.

* sorry, for subject change, anyone buying R.U.S.E. for PS3?

I might dislike it too, based on what you found EDAL. A cheap way of assessing one but I'm hoping that being able to set a deadzone might just make it more tolerant to my drunkan head.....:grin: I am so used to having the Analog POV on Xbox Sticks that I now find it awkward using the Digital POV fitted on PC sticks. I often wonder if the PC stick POV functions on PS3 BOP the same as it does with Xbox Sticks.

BTW....what's R.U.S.E?

Basically its a strategy game due out on the PC/Consoles. Looks good thus far. To answer, i'll be getting it for sure.
