Hi,

I did not find in this forum. For little money (LED and a piece of wire) You can enjoy additional functionality. It works - checked :-)

Hello mactok,

Interesting indeed, for some people, I am sure.

I use a TrackIR device myself, and can confirm that such a head tracking feature is really enjoyable.

I'm not sure how 'tight' this one will be and how it performs. I do see naturalpoint's stuff is no longer supported.


Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forum!!

Regards,
Fred

Hi again,

Very nice, and very cheap!   :lol:

Have you tried TrackIR too, can you compare the speed and smoothness? Is it very fast too? I reckon that also depends on what you use in combination, right? The webcam, etc.

But that is a real good alternative for people that don't want to spend so much on a trackIR!!  :thumbs:


Fred.

P.S. I am a great fan of the IL2 series aswell!  :)

Hello

FreeTrack is configurable. I have HP nx7400 with C2D 1,6 GHz, 1 MB Ram, Intel 945GM Chipset and Logitech webcam. This is not a speed and performance demon. But the games are working well. There are no problems.

Hi Maciej,

Sound like a really good solution indeed then!  :)

And yeah, I used to be on Hyperlobby a lot, but that's years ago.. and since I am involved here, I hardly play IL2 online anymore, apart from LAN with my mates, every now and then.
