Well... with webcam head tracking, this immersive enjoyment is a small "price of 2 pizza" investment away.

The only real reason I use mods is to enable 6DoF on my trackir. I've never quite understood the reasoning for not having it enabled within the stock game whilst having the 'hooks' for trackir anyway. It would be wonderful if TD could enable this in the next official patch.

Oh look, registered over three years ago and at last a subject I feel sufficiently worth posting about here!

6DoF

Its simply unrealistic as its in its present form, you cannot move around that much in a fighter aircraft when strapped in, you are not wearing an inertia belting system in these aircraft you simply cannot move as given by 6DoF.
Any forward movement for gun sights was done by seat adjustment not the pilot leaning forwards.

Zooming forwards and unplucking your eyeballs from your skull and placing them on the canopy, rotating your head almost 180 degrees is worse than the present viewing system.

Ans if we had a switch to either enable or disable the option in the setup......that would be okay then

It would be down to an individuals personal preference whether they wanted it active or not. I see no problem with giving the user an option to have 6DoF if they want to enable it? As BC has said, if the movement was modified to TD/1C standards, the pilot could still lean left or right, forward or backwards....if THEY chose to.

It's an optional switch, that's all that is being asked for, no-more, no-less?

Cheers, MP

Whilst I accept that observation (no pun intended...), it's interesting to note that 4.10 included 'zoom' on a slider. I don't know about other users, but I don't like using excessive zoom (either in 6DOF or 2 DOF with Zoom) and limit the response in the Zaxis - both magnify 'headshake'. The counter argument is that there are many unrealistic 'viewing' features in IL2 (and most games/sims) but 'swivelling ones head' 180 degrees is just one in a very long list and can also be accomplishedd with normal POV, mouse lookaround, and...... in 4.10 2DOF.

I know....

Let's get the current plane-set's gaps and holes filled so 6DOF can happen without glitches. A lot of work, yes, but then you release it as....

IL-2 : Anniversary Edition



It will bring the game up to date, future-proof it for a while and bring in some revenue for TD or 1C:Maddox.

You obviously haven't researched your own head movement abilities. Try moving your head to the sides and see past your monitor. I bet you can, I can with my 24", sitting roughly 80cm away, and a normal 24" monitor is about the same width as a front canopy frame. The cockpits weren't that big either. See, because pilots are strapped in, they needed to move their heads quite a bit. Hence the term "rubber neck".
