Lose all arguments! Cool! Don't be ridiculous, we are discussing suport for other HT solutions besides TIR, and BIS made it suporting Freetrack! And you can't talk A WORD about the subject!

And now this PATHETIC post? LOL!!!

Question for the devs - give it a tick if you want the devs to answer it

Instead of creating original open source webcam tracking software from scratch like Freetrack, a different approach could be taken -- hijack TrackIR head tracking software itself at the camera driver level. Create a driver that makes your any camera look like TrackIR camera and then all rest of work is done for you, tracking algorithm and game support all provided. Naturalpoint's worst nightmare!

Explains why Naturalpoint were so protective of camera drivers when people wanted to make drivers for Mac and Linux. But they have been reverse engineered lately making it even easier for someone to make a driver hijack. If this were the case with Freetrack I could understand complaint of 'unfair' or 'bad' since it would be completely dependent on downloaded TrackIR software. But of course this not the case with Freetrack, being independent and communicates with games directly with whatever means which is common practice for software.

Freetrack isn't completely independent though...

Yes it is, using FreeTrackClient.dll as Freetrack Interface.

But you will never understand this simple thing...

then there shouldn't be any need for the tir interface checkbox

[Wolf_Rider]

WR: FT isn't completely independent though

LoBi: Yes it is, using FreeTrackClient.dll as Freetrack Interface

WR: then there shouldn't be a need for TIR interface checkbox

SR: That's for old games that aren't being developed anymore which can't possibly have Freetrack interface added.

WR: so it isn't independent then

SR: You asked for a need and I gave it to you, that says nothing of dependence.

where exactly did you go wrong, Siguer?
