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

Unfortunately the answers to this poll are so biased, it's ridiculous.

A simple Yes or No would have been better than introducing the poll-authors bias.

I think I'd like my 2¢ here in this thread.

I voted no.
For a few reasons, but I'll focus on one that gets overlooked.

I've been strapped in an aerobatic plane (a Citabria, to be precise). I couldn't lean forward if I wanted to. So, my head was "stuck to a stick, thank you very much." I had some limited "wiggle room" but not much.

So, 6DOF is a gimmick in a WW2 game, since you'd be strapped so damn tight into your plane you wouldn't be able to do what you guys would like to do with 6DOF enabled.

And you don't get to have it both ways. If you loosened your straps (virtually) to have enabled that freedom, you would need to face the consequences of a severe g-loaded maneuver not being properly strapped in.

Wanna add that?

I have a TrackIR. I've had a TrackIR since 2003 or 2004.
But in my opinion, to model 6DOF in a way that would be realistic in the paradigm of being strapped into a cockpit wouldn't make many if any of you happy.

I've been strapped in a AT-6 a WW2 trainer with period proper chute and straps, and done hard maneuvers, I had more than enough wiggle room with my head.

I will admit, hold your head still against G to look through a gunsite would be difficult though.

OH and Oleg is including 6dof in COD so even he thinks its an addition to the simulation.

Nuff said I'd say on that.

Voted Yes. I'm glider pilot. It's cramped. I can still move my head in all direction. Just not lean too much forward, but I can look around the mountings at least.
