Servers are down at the moment. So looks like the update is coming. about time RoF got some love

Glad to hear it, I wonder if the game will get any enhancements from the work done on the engine for BoS. On thing I liked was the ability to map your head tracking to an axis which you can't do in RoF. I wrote a small article on my CH Hangar site about using a home made device called EDtracker that gives you TrackIR-like capability on a device that costs around £10 to build yet doesn't require a camera.

The girl with the hammer and torpedo bra is at it again...

I don't think this update will go beyond adding Ilya Muromets and East Front map to RoF. The other things like FM's etc. are likely coming out later on, though I could be wrong. I was wrong, and gladly so.

As far as mapping TIR to an axis in RoF, you can do this. Vander has a post about how to make the Z-axis/lean forward tie into the 'binocular' zoom function. Makes it very natural and improves situational awareness ability. Maybe this isn't what you mean?

No I think you misunderstood what I was getting at. The device I speak of is the EDTracker, I wrote an article here: http://www.ch-hangar.com/edtracker/ (couldn't link earlier I was on my mobile) It basically uses an off the shelf gyroscope/accelerometer similar to what you might find in a mobile phone these days and through a controller chip it mimics a three axis joystick. So you fasten this device to your head (its the size of a matchbox) - in my case to the headband of my Corsair headphones and when you move your head the gyroscope/accelerometer moves the X/Y and Z axis. You can then map this to head movement in games that support such a feature and away you go - TrackIR like functionality with no need for a camera (not 6DOF though) for £10 (£27 if you buy a pre-made device from the indie mod team who created it).

BoS supports it, as I said in the article BoS has good joystick mapping options, the article contains a list of a growing number of games that support head tracking via an axis, I was surprised RoF didn't support it and hoped maybe it was something they could port over from the enhancements made to the DN engine for BoS.

Well we got an update. And we also got confirmation that the Camel really was one of the worst performing scouts produced during the later stages of the war. Why the British continued to produce this 'plank' in such large numbers is a mystery lost to history. I do think that 777 could have capitalized on this change by offering former Tripe and Camel players the Snipe.
