Jorge.PT 10 Posted May 7, 2009 I would really like to see both coexist, like in ArmA, that's my wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) I'm lazy so I have TrackIR, but I really hope BI will create support for freetrack as well. In the end, it is the same thing, and headtracking has done wonders for my immersion in Armed Assault. Edited May 7, 2009 by sparks50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Deleted the inflammatory comment from the first post. Also moved to ArmA General as it's about what you use, which obviously doesn't cover ArmA2 with it not being out. Edited May 7, 2009 by Placebo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted May 7, 2009 Just ordered TrackIR5 Pro, so... added myself to the list. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fincuan 0 Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Freetrack for me, thank you very much. TrackIr is excellent, there's no way around that, but it's about time NP gets competition. We don't use one single brand of joysticks or keyboards either. This intercommunity bitching is what I don't get. If someone is happy to pay 160€ for the head-tracking, not my problem. If another one wants the same for less, go ahead. The ability to choose is what counts. Edited May 7, 2009 by Fincuan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statikzx 0 Posted May 7, 2009 I too would like to see both (all) supported, preferably by an industry standard API. Being on a fixed income with limited disposable finances, freetrack is my choice. Off the the FT forums to spam the creators into contacting BI ;) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Barron 0 Posted May 7, 2009 Let's see how head-tracking is distributed amongst ArmA players.If you've got one of these, add your vote. If you really want to see how head tracking is distributed amongst Arma players, there should also be a "I don't use head-tracking devices" option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1744 Posted May 8, 2009 It's simple. Freetrack is cheaper, but Trackir is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted May 8, 2009 TrackIR 3 with 6DoF enhancement. It's worth pointing out that Freetrack is piggybacking on the efforts of Naturalpoint's TrackIR software. It's a little bit like asking what do you play, ArmA or ACE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) There should be a standard for head tracking devices software like with keyboards, mouses etc. NP did not invent IR tracking for gaming, they only commercialized it. Edited May 8, 2009 by sparks50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 10 Posted May 8, 2009 Erm I'm the only one out of 62 people who doesn't use head-tracking? I'm doing it wrong...:computer: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bionic 10 Posted May 8, 2009 "In my point of view" this Poll is useless it should have been done before the PR Offensive of Naturalpoint. If i would have had my hands on a copy of ArmA2 and offered a Free Track Setup for less then 50$(50€) this poll would look the other way around but don´t ask for it its not my business i only want to be able to use Free Track in ArmA and ArmA 2. Still good to see that every 3rd headtracking User is a DIY Free Tracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted May 8, 2009 I'm a TrackIR 2 user since many years (yea, a bit old but works perfectly fine in 2 DOF) so my question/concern is.... can we TrackIR 1 & 2 users still use them in ArmA II? /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it work better than free look? I was #50 in the poll for TIR user, but I did try the FreeTrack awhile back. Edited May 8, 2009 by SWAT_BigBear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoRailgunner 0 Posted May 8, 2009 It shows at least how many people use head tracking systems in ArmA ;) Think that everyone like to have a choice between head tracking devices eg using different soundcards, graphics cards etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge.PT 10 Posted May 8, 2009 Added. What's the point of having, "I don't use head tracking", in pool directed to those who use it? Excuse me placebo, but I don't see a point in putting a option to vote, when people who doesn't use any tracking equipment will probably never even look at this thread. That was not the intent of the original poster and it's well explicit in the title of the pool. If there is someone who should change the pool it's him and no other person, along with the title.

Hyp3rdyn3 10 Posted May 8, 2009 I'm a TrackIR 2 user since many years (yea, a bit old but works perfectly fine in 2 DOF) so my question/concern is.... can we TrackIR 1 & 2 users still use them in ArmA II?/KC From what I understand, the new encrypted interface is not compatible with TrackIR 1 & 2. So you will need at least a TrackIR 3 for ArmA2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlabasterSlim 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Voted. TIR4 here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JellBro 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Hi all, Don't use headtracking (yet), but got interested by the Dslyecxi video. ...and therefore reading this thread for info/feedback (thus finding this thread useful). Not a fan of waving the creditcard over the internet, so if i'll be buying it, it would be in a store in the Netherlands, would be nice to have the discount also though. Sometime after Arma 2 release i'll probably have to check another radiobutton in this poll :) Cheers, Jelle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

binkster 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Maybe another option to plan on using head tracking. I dont have one now but I plan on getting TIR when ArmA2 comes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted May 8, 2009 Maybe another option to plan on using head tracking. I dont have one now but I plan on getting TIR when ArmA2 comes out. I would say then simply vote for the device your planning to buy. @ Mods, maybe a option for like "I'm (still) uncertain which kind of device i will use/buy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
