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

Oh it's more than possible to add it in.

The thing is Oleg doesn't want it in. Mostly artistic reasons because of unfinished polys and such but in some planes I think you can see through parts of the cockpit for an unfair advantage I guess.

I pretty much stick to offline anyway until CoD comes out so I use 4.09 with the 6DOF mod.

Would be nice if it went official but I can't see that happening.

See, that's my point, it would be a user choice whether it was turned on, rather than just saying....it is possible (we know it is), but sorry you don't have a choice.

Just asking if we could have a choice really in the difficult switch menu perhaps? Just a switch on or off to enable it?

voted no.

Without a massive changes in a lot of stuff in the game 6 dof is unreliable. Even on modpacks very few, next to noone as 100% functioanl 6dof, and we all now the poly counts on those pits, who look awsome, are behond TD limitations.

I think this is why I made the suggestion that a switch in the Graphics/Difficulty would allow each individual their own choice as to whether they want the option. Strangely, if the poll has a higher 'Yes' rating it would indicate it would be welcome, but even if it is 50/50 that's exactly what a switch option woukd give, either half would switch it on and half would switch it off.

Now we gona see how many, who have a tracking device. Or dont know how to set it up It´s only natural to vote yes, if you have one and know how to use it. I dont think the grafik is a big issus compair to whatyou get from 6DOF in my own humble opinion. Thats why I ALLWAYS fly with mods and would not dream of going back to the stock ones. It feels so wrong to having a frame blocking your view and cant move your head.

And it's natural that when you don't have a tracking device you vote no, why on earth would I give my opponent an even bigger advantage ( than he already has ) by making him able to cover almost every angle with his vision, even glitched vision which make him or her look in unnatural positions what in RL wasn't even possible.

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

Glitched? Some people must have a different version to me, my 6DOF is perfectly OK.

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.

XXXXXXXXXXXI'm not voting because...XXXXXXXXXXXXX
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.

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!
