SOW and Freetrack, will it be supported?
 
Sorry if this has been already discussed, i couldn't find an answer, so my question is, will be Freetrack supported in SOW?

thanks
Alberto

Until recently, even mentioning the said free headtracking software seemed to be verboten on this site (some legal issue, I believe). It is unlikely to be specifically supported, but given the apparently 'open' design of SoW:BoB compared to IL-2, it may well be possible to use it. Time will tell.

I hope that Natural Point should give OM some money or It should be free

On the topic - I've asked previously, and got nothing but a few users (ie, not 1c reps) complaining about FT and stolen code... Some wouldn't even acknowledge the elephant in the room:
Quite beside the FT and "intellectual property" issue, it's obvious that SoW BoB should accept a generic input for head position, just like it will for sticks/throttles etc.

Here as well as on the Ubi forums? I didn't see that last time I read the rules (or posted about FT) - have they changed?

So you approve of commercial collusion, and little-to-no competition in the head-tracking market? (and everything that goes with it...)

I hope not... freetrack works very well with IL-2 and some other games I have... without paying for a uber-ultra-traking device... just used 3 white leds, a cap and the webcam i already have... everything is perfect and i can't fly without it.
