It would be like using the Track IR on PC. You always look at the screen but if you move your head a bit to the side it will change the view to follow your head. It takes a little getting used to and depending on the quality of the technology it can be an amazingly immersive experience or a jerky, glitchy and nauseating ride.

I think what we all need, is a total immersive all around game. What we need, is to modify those old WW2 trainer planes that would just move around and such. Like this link trainer.


Then when we modify it enough to have screens all around, and capable of working with 360 and PS3 etc. we can all be completely "in the cockpit" and could look around for real. LOL

Um, go look up Track IR videos on youtube. Everyone seems to diss head tracking starting with this statement without actually understanding how it works.

I think Wayfindre was joking. If not, It's like using a mouse except with your head. (little movement = greater movement on screen)

The hat switch is a representation of your head, therefore when you move around your hat switch while flying, you are moving your head's avatar in the game. I bet its hard for you to talk and chew bubble gun at the same time too.

Actually YES real pilots DO use a hat switch. Albiet its a simpler design, and used for a selector on the stick and has nothing to do with moving their head.

Why would a hat switch in a real life move your head?
And when did I say real pilots don't use a hat switch?

P.S Read/think then type please.

I was referring to what TexRoadkill said. My post was not at you.

Dude seriously. We all understand what the HAT switch is used for and they were a technological breakthrough back in 1984. I personally think they suck and could be better utilized with some AI.

Your input has been greatly appreciated but there is no need for you to continue to point out the obvious. Would you like to tell us why we don't need a cell phone when there are perfectly good rotary phones on a land line?

Thats silly, why would i argue a stupid point like that only you would think of such a dumb example.
