"Jules: Can the six head control axes be assigned to by *any* game controller axis, rather than being limited to TrackIR?

Currently you can only control your head with the keyboard, mouse, or a head-tracking device.
Improvements to our in-game camera are high on our list, including smooth panning, axis support, “realistic” shaky-cam, etc."

hmmm. Sounds like IL-2 to me - 2 DoF for anyone without TIR. Given that the head position axes are axes (!), I'm a bit suspicious about the future "axis support".

Well there has been a mod to allow 6 DoF support in IL-2 for years. Anyway even if they have to implement it a little later 2 DoF is plenty for normal situations. Just have to set a key to center the gunsight on German planes is all.

Relief to see they didn't swallow NaturalPoint's interface 'upgrade' offer like Bohemia Interactive and Eagle Dynamics, screwing their customers in process.

IIRC the Russian version of one of the DCS sims worked fine with FT, but the US/UK etc version didn't. We'll just have to wait and see.

According to the English manual (linked in another thread and hopefully appropriate for our version release) does state 'headtracking with webcam and software' support. Double whammy of no epi filter option and no FT for the rest of us would be .....

from one of the russian threads:

"Fritrek works, but are lacking in smooth zooms, although it could not have found yet"

and

"Joystick mouse emulation software, RRjoy works"

LOL - CloD manual, pag. 68:

More advanced players may consider using a head-tracking device or webcam software for an even more lifelike view control.

Freetrack using the old, unencrypted trackir interface works with CLOD.
