DCS accepts any inputs for head pose, will SoW:BoB?
 
To avoid the need to run patches on DCS: A-10C etc, I use freetrack and PPJoy to send 6DoF head pose information to the sim, it was easy and works perfectly.

I'm really hoping the same competition and consumer-friendly method will be used in SoW:BoB, rather than the TIR only interface that we have in IL-2.

Any official comment yet?

I personally would like a direct support for freetrack without install something else like ppjoy or other software emulation. People can choose if buy TIR or DIY a head tracking.

It's not just because of the choice of TIR or DIY. There are a lot of tracking systems out there and many don't even work based on LED's (gyros for example).

So yeah, I'm all for support of any tracking technology, not just TrackIR/Freetrack. It should be a priority for any simulator to actually encourage immersiveness of the simulation - otherwise it's just a marketed/marketing toy.

Yes, head tracking input should be universal, just like joystick input.

Head pose input is the universal input and should be the one used.

Bump! Any response from 1C? :)

Bump #2 and really like the proposition of Madfish and Letum.

Maybe SoW can be revolutionary also in the vast support of diverse 6DOF Head Tracking technology. Will be great!
