dslyecxi 23 Posted October 13, 2006 Are you sure? I've never tried to use the "*" to move the head position while in multiplayer and observe on a different player's machine. I thought it was purely local in OFP. Perhaps someone could do a quick test of this? Hold alt and move the mouse, and that moves your head around. It's definitely passed across in network games. I see people do it all the time in my group's Flashpoint sessions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundll.exe 12 Posted October 13, 2006 This is a quite good example of head movement in MP (CIA coop) And its helpfull for sure if you can see where others are looking at. Lets say you run in formation and you squadmate is looking left, then you better watch the right to cover all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COBRA EATER 0 Posted October 13, 2006 you can also go to Go Gamer.comfor Track IR. they have some good prices over there also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funkster 0 Posted October 13, 2006 edit2: New Idea. What about having this extra button thing (on the mouse) and be able to manipulate the gun and your head separately? For ex. ability to aim at something and quickly check the surroundings without moving a gun. Funnyguy - Damn good Idea! That is actually a really smart idea - have mouse 3 toggle between free look and normal - then those of us without track IR still would not have to take our hands off the keyboard / mouse.... Of course, this would not be for everyone...So you could map keys as you like in options.' NOTE to BIS: too late I guess, but please make free look a toggle, rather than one key for on, one for off - that would make things alot easier and more flexible. Also, I just voted in this poll, but there should be an option "I would like to get trackIR - but too expensive" or "maybe I might get track IR" rather than I definietly want it or I dont care - they are too extreme..

suma 8 Posted October 13, 2006 NOTE to BIS: too late I guess, but please make free look a toggle, rather than one key for on, one for off - that would make things alot easier and more flexible. In OFP Alt enables mouse freelook temporatily, * toggles it permanently, and ArmA is going to be the same in this respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sniperandy 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Haha... that's why you would have the toggle free look on your 3rd mouse button (me at least). so you have all the freedom you need, much like using track ir. But you loose control of aim and fire while you use free look. that's why track-ir will be so great. And if you don't play with 3rd person enabled you would use this quite a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funnyguy1 0 Posted October 13, 2006 I was reffering the iron sight view, we couldn`t move our character`s head because the sights were 2d, now since they`re 3d it can be done either by the mousewheel or the 3rd button (or any other key assigned for this) + mouse (like this stance-controlling thingy in R6 Raven Shield). I wasn`t talking about the thing that you normally can do with the alt key or '*' key, but about moving your virtual head forward and backward thus ascending the gun to your eye level and fluently switching between the iron sights view and full fov, and that would be an alternative for track-ir imho you can have with only a keyboard and mouse.

bass29 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Hi, just a bump that I bought a TrackIR4 here in Australia a couple of days ago for flight simX and ArmA (when it finally makes it here). For the moment I obviously have neither game, but I've been testing the TIR with rFactor and it's easily one of the best "toys" i've ever bought. I think it's got the potential to redefine how immersive a game like ArmA can be if they get the implementation right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
