Freetrack interface use in IL-2:CoD

The immersion is much hígher while playing with a headtracking device. With more player gaining benefit from it the more stable the community will be.

Plus your point just sounds a little selfish.

See, the fine thing about democracies is: People can have different views.


How could anyone be against something the get for free?*
(I don't care about the piracy thing, I'm guilty of that myself)
I was forced into the "no" answer - the whole thing is so rigged I refuse to help him prove his point. Whenever I feel one comes up with the wrong arguments I switch sides, which often results in finding myself fighting on the side of the enemy. Sometimes confusing - but always great fun.

Also:
If OM made a deal with NP and got desperately needed cash for it - great.

*Unfortunately, there is no such thing as free lunch.
Well, in the IL2 community maybe - then again I think this is wrong too.
We get all this updates and mods for free; UP, 4.xx, you name it - yet the servers are struggling for survival because the (majority of the)community is to greedy to donate once in while.
What kind of "community" is that supposed to be?

Sir, given Switzerland's long history of neutrality and your line of reasoning, I put forth the propostion that you should withhold your vote on this matter. Just something to consider. Good day.

Something the swiss are not accustomed to - in single year we have to vote
more often than the average citizen of any other democracy in his whole life.


Btw: We have also a history of selling our sons as mercenaries to whomever pays most. Often this led to swiss fighting against each other for some foreign power.

Well, every poll has its random element and every poll can be spun. Personally, I think removing the portion of the population that has "no opinion" on the matter reduces the likelihood of the poll being spun. However, everyone has their own opinion and should vote (or not vote) accordingly. Carry on mercenary Swiss.

Come on, with this poll lobi tried to create an argument to convince the devs a FT interface is absolutely necessary because it's the wish of the majority of this community.
Interesting idea, but it's just not gonna work with a two options only, love/hate poll.
Why should I play along such a sorry game?
It's much more fun to take the job of the party pooper.

What a dumb poll. You might as well have made a poll like this:
Do you want everyone to be happy? (are you good?)
Do you want some people to be unhappy? (are you evil?)

A better poll would have been:

Given the choise, which head tracking system do you intend on using for CoD?

You would get much better results that way.

The poll is what it is. I see nothing devious in it's intent. Granted, it is not scientific. It is simply another way to communicate to 1C Company that there is a desire by a segment of the CoD market to have Freetrack functionality included in the game. That's all it is! Nothing about majority/minority or it being "absolutely necessary". Fact is, purchasing decisions are driven by these types of things. I think it is reasonable to assume that some of us won't buy CoD if we can't use Freetrack. This poll is an effort to try and avoid that reality. Fact is, I'm not going to go back to flying with a mouse after the hassle of learning to fly using headtracking and I'm not going to buy TrakIR when I have Freetrack system that works just fine for me. I don't even use 6DoF when it is available. I don't like jerking my head back and forth like an ostrich. I use a zoom script for that.

TrackIR owner myself. I voted for supporting/allowing other available head tracking methods. It gives the players with low cashflow a way to enjoy the game on the same level. It also creates a more level playing field. It would also takes away complaints that people who can afford the gadgets, that increase the enjoyment and the immersion, are cheating.
