Could 6-DoF ever be available in 4.2 if players could forgive small Graphics issues

Currently there are many switches available for options to be turned on and off in the game and I wonder if it would be possible to add a switch enabling 6-DoF, thereby giving the user the option of whether they want to choose the 6-DoF option and maybe put up with a few minor Graphic issues, or whether they leave the switch off and then keep the POV as it currently is?

I'm only putting out there the consideration that 6-DoF is possible, but there may be the occasional Graphics issue that I can appreciate the absolute purists will want, but some of us actually enjoy the experience of flying an aircraft and to have a choice for the User of the Sim to switch it on or off would be IMHO a welcome offering in a future patch?

Look here as-well to see Bearcat's post at the Ubi Forums;

I just signed up for the 1c Forms after 10 years of playing IL2 just to vote for this. When all the work was done for free from Natural Point and all you needed to do is lock down the head movement in the game.... why again did it take a MOD.. " hack " to make this work and its never been official added to the game? I have 6DoF in my Racing games and they are not 1/3 as great as IL2.

I don't know. Just guessing: because the game is old, so old, that in the beginning it wasn't planed to support 6DoF (as this was new hitech back then) and Olegs pretension was, that it now would need a huge rework of all old content at a point, when he rather wanted to switch to the next project instead. So it never happend officially. Yet.

EDIT: Welcome!

Hell, CoD:IL-2 will have 6DoF, and 6DoF is achieveable with some mods already so I don't really care really. I vote that DT downgrade the orginal IL-2 to NES 8bit quality. I bet the nay sayers would just thrive in a 8 bit environment. Heck, remove all support for stick use and limit the game to a two button control interface with a d-pad only and make it platform based. That should satisfy the 15%.

Caspar, that is one of the most exciting things I have read in this whole thread..."Yet".

My fingers are crossed that at-least TD could offer us a switch in the settings will give the user the option to enable it.....

You may not have said much, but my wife once said "It may be small.......but it excites me!" Lol, cheers, MP

Same here... INMO it would be great.. even if it was made tighter.. as in not quite the same range of 6DoF as the mods.. but it needs to be in there. As I previously stated... for me a lot of this makes sense .. adding 6DoF and some of the other functional mods.. and maybe a few variants of AC.. because at the end of the day this sim is going into it's golden years.. but it will still be getting new users I think for at least the next 1-3 years.. and then it will gradually die down.. but the final official version of this sim needs to be definitive.. and it can be just that.. and they wouldn't even have to rework a lot of the pits.. This is is a great product thathas captured the minds and more importantly time and money of grown men... for some a decade.. that says a lot.. and as much as I have to admit... I like a lot of the mods.. and I believe that they have shown us what it possible.. but this is still Oleg's sim.. He created it with 1C and it should be defined by them.. as long as some of the for lack of a better term "goodness" that is in mods is not in the official version when it could easily be.. (my thinking is ... if an unauthorized group can do it then the authors should be able to "do it+".. I don't expect to see every single mod in this sim.. and they shouldn't be... but it wouldn't take every mod to make more people choose the stock sim over the modded one... or at least use it more than they do now..

I hope that some of the points raised in this thread become food for thought to Oleg & TD .... This is till the best WWII combat flight sim on the market.. and truth be told even after CoD is released it will still be contending with it's older brother IL2... and the two of them have nothing runnign a close second.. there are others in the race.. but pound fore pound they don't even come close..
