Could 6-DoF ever be available in 4.2 if players could forgive small Graphics issues

[|450|Leady]

6DOF doesn't require trackir. I've got a version that works via the mouse. Kind of negates the argument that 6DOF is only for the rich or gives an unfair advantage to those willing to spend lots eh?

I voted 'yes'. But I want to add: "...only, if its done in a different way as in modification."

IMHO we don't need full movement. A little 6DOF, just to look around struts would be well enough. I also think this would minimize possible complications.

but I'm not voting since this thread is probably meant for those with tracking devices..

Because the world has moved on and we know it isn't flat any more.

An option to have it on gives choice and you don't have to use those servers if you don't want to (but do you remember the mod/Vanilla server numbers before 4.10 came out?). While the graphics won't always be perfect the immersion will be improved and that has far more value than having your head stuck in a frame with perfect graphics just because the view is so limited. There are other things in Vanilla IL-2 that aren't perfect anyway.

I would think the mods guys would have no problem working with TD given what they have achieved already.

I'm voting, but.....
1. Its pointless, you could never get a proper poll through a thread
2. The players have already voted, just think back to the pre-4.10 server numbers and what they will be again when the mods community catches up with 4.10. I believe the single most preferred mod is 6dof.

Dispoite i voted "no", would it be possible to implement 4DOF where the zoom of player head controls the in game zoom? ( wich is available in a rotatary already fro m4.10)

This would require no neew cockpits, and give not others unffair advantage.

Myonly issue with 6DOF- ze mod, is that it simply does not work properly with rolling and panning around, when i use it i tned ot switch this off and keep my head on the pole.

Currently there are many switches available for options to be turned on and off in the game and I wonder if it would be possible to add a switch enabling 6-DoF, thereby giving the user the option of whether they want to choose the 6-DoF option and maybe put up with a few minor Graphic issues, or whether they leave the switch off and then keep the POV as it currently is?

I'm only putting out there the consideration that 6-DoF is possible, but there may be the occasional Graphics issue that I can appreciate the absolute purists will want, but some of us actually enjoy the experience of flying an aircraft and to have a choice for the User of the Sim to switch it on or off would be IMHO a welcome offering in a future patch?

That really is some noble thinking Mysticpuma, but I think most people would recognise straight up that the cries of "developer's dodgy graphics" would ring loud after a while "developer releases half baked product", etc, etc




no vote recorded

Pointless argument regards adavantage/merits, anyone who wants 6DOF just adds it anyway.

I don't think that adding features with known, correctable bugs without any intention of fixing said bugs is a professional thing to do.

I'm glad 1C avoids doing that kind of thing. We would have a poor game if they did that often.

ding! I think as mentioned some textures just wouldn't show up- you'd have an unobstructed view in addition to the advantage already.

p.s. trackers hate padlock, it evens the score!

Hmm.

Imagine Olegs horror at all the you-tube vid's of his sims cockpits with 6DoF showing glitched panels and invisible bitz and pieces all over the place.

I don't think it should be an option or anything as it wasn't designed for 6DoF in the first place.
