I am not sure how well headtracking would work in a console but as someone who flies full real on CloD and IL1946 it is a fundamental part of my set up. You have to use it and fly in pit view to understand and appreciate why many flyers consider it essential. Its not just the added immersion, you have to continually monitor your instruments and scan the skies around you intuitively and easily.
Headtracking is really for Cockpit view flyers. I doubt many who fly in open view would find it usefull (if not a disadvantage) without the cockpit and gunsight to act as a reference for centring ones head in combat.
I would welcome any attempt to give enthusiasts a choice but, given that Headtracking relies on a software interface that users are able to customise and set up to suit themselves, I wonder how well it would work in a console environment? The developer has to come up with a uniform profile to suit everyone. How many degrees of movement would it support and could a console cope with the calculations regards the polygons that render the cockpit for a wide range of viewing angles?
If it were possible, then I hope MP will have a cockpit only difficulty option as, even with headtracking, someone flying with an open view will always have a visual advantage.
If the tecnology is there and the implementation feasibe, then it should be included.
