Hi All.

I found a great (tiny) program for FSX called Banking Camera...basically, when you fire it up..and go into VC on any aircraft...your view follows your bank..in a similar way to trackIR...but without having to wear the silly contraption...as you level out...your view is directly forward.
It clearly works by using the joysticks movement to turn the aircraft..and adjusts the eyepoint accordingly...making the HAT redundant.
I can see no reason why this could not be incorporated into WOFF?...as many people would find it extremely useful.

Here is a video of it working in FSX

Actually..forget it. You need simconnect...which is FSX only

Hi Widow, nice to see you posting. There is one other issue which would not be addressed and that is the need to look around 360 deg when flying straight and level.

Nice feature , but it has nothing to do with the use of a TIR, or very little if I understand correctly.

BTW, there still is one Axis with TrackIR, that is not yet in WOFF... I don't know, how this Axis is called in English (well, I'd even have Problems describing that in German LOL)
I hope, you know, which Axis I mean.
I it somehow possible to integrate that?

One problem tracking enemies rather large part of air combat. FSX has no combat.

Yes...but if you don't have TrackIR...you use the Hat. This just replaces the Hat, with a trackIR type of view, so you can see where you're going..rather than staring dead ahead as you turn smile

It sounds great for a civilian sim, or if oyu have no TrackIR - better than not having anything, but Trackir is v cool you can do all that and still look for enemies in a split second smile.

yeah unfortunately "I can see no reason why this could not be incorporated into WOFF?.." I can see many wink
One is the programming time required, testing, and then how many would buy it, or WOFF, based on that not many so probably won't happen at the moment - especially given TrackIR does it all and is what we recommend.
I understand it may make you feel more involved etc, but at this point I really doubt it's worth the dev time to do anything on it, even if it is possible.
