enforced cockpit puts at huge disadvantage those who lack trackir

[raaaid]

well having an adavantage is not cheating

but to enforce my trust in the fairness of the universe im just happen to be using the last beta from facetracnoir

i dont think its any different to trackir and im doing with an 8 years old cheap gift webcam

some thoughts on trackir flaws ive found so far:

the roll axe is redundant and should be assigned if desired to zoom, rolling the head 180º makes you see this text upside down so theres no need to axign it an axe, its redudndant

when you look back and you translate your real head right the virtual pilot translates left, i think translation axes should be taken from the position your currently looking at

theres an inherent unreality in 6dof, if you translate to the front youll notice whats on the screen is not real for everything becoming apparently bigger, when you move front 6dof should shrink everything in the screen to keep the reality illyusion

edit:

finally now ill be able to fly hotas instead of using the mouse

hotas for me stands for hands on trim and stick, since the part that wears out the most of a pilot glove is that in conctact with the trim

In your first post you say you're a mouse-user but now you use facetrack - which is the correct version in your current reality? I'm not really sure why you equate fairness in the universe with facetrack... I also could have sworn you said a while back that you were unemployed. Now you work 22 hours per week?

Given that you don't have TrackIR I'd love to know how you found your "flaws".

I have no idea what on earth you mean about the roll axis. I have never seen a webpage rotate in relation to my TrackIR movements. There is also a thing called "settings" or "preferences".

When I look back over the tail of my SE5a and move my head to one side, the virtual head moves to that side relative to the direction I'm looking. E.g. if I look back and then move my head right then my virtual head also moves right relative to the direction I am looking; the head moves to the port side of the cockpit and this is correct.

In 6DOF if you have zoom enabled and move closer to the device then everything gets bigger. I have never heard of getting closer to something and it looks smaller. The scale may not be perfect and so on in game but it doesn't get smaller.

So, either you're posting rubbish to get a reaction (worthy of a ban that just won't happen) or you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Again.

yeah like this to achieve a better virtual reality:

like its very strange this thread has encouraged me to try a webcam head tracker that so far works great, facetracknoir, i do recomend it a lot
