So I play Arma 3 on my Mac and love flying Helis, so I am interested in getting head tracking to work for me, even though options are sadly very limited on Mac. While OpenTrack is kind of available for Mac, I could not get it to build myself and prebuilt applications do not seem to work for Mac. (Available outputs are only FlightGear, UDP over Network, Virtual Joystick (Does not work) and X-Plane). I am not able to get any of those to interact with Arma 3 in any way. Because of this my only real option seems to be making my own custom solution. While I can get the actual head tracking figured out, my main issue is the interaction in Arma. I see three main approaches, however I still have questions on all of them: 1. Try to make some kind of existing head-tracking protocol work with my own custom solution and make it work on Mac. This seems basically impossible, firstly because I cannot find any information on how headtracking-applications actually communicate with Arma and secondly because these solutions are most likely Windows specific. Does anyone here have any pointers as to where I could find more information about head tracking protocols? 2. Make a Arma 3 Mod for a custom head tracking interface. While I do have experience making Missions and Scripting for that purpose, I have no experience in making mods. Are there any resources on or easyish ways to manipulate the payer view? How does interaction to the outside work? 3. Simulate Joysticks. This seems like the easiest solution, the actual Joystick part should be fairly easy. The main question with this is whether it is possible to make joysticks independently control the view of a player, ideally both rotation and translation? I would be very happy if I could get any answers or tips on any single one of my questions. Please also feel free to reply even if your answer might be windows specific. Any help would be welcome.

I think that comment is superfluous. Will indicate only that bugs do not go away even with high level graphics settings. License game from Steam. OS X High Sierra 10.13.2, the performance characteristics are given below. If somebody knows, how to fix this, please post it here.

Hi, I'm running on a MAC OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite I installed the legacy port 1.76 from here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Experimental_Ports Enter access code: Arma3LegacyPorts. This should unlock the legacyports - Legacy Build (1.76 - ports). When I launch in Steam, It doesn't even make it to the splash screen I just get a crash reporter. I have ran this game before on the same machine which was a while back this year, yet now it's unplayable. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, I'm currently trying to get Arma 3 to run on a Macbook Pro (OS X) - this seems to be a controversial subject. I have installed it in Steam and verified the integrity of files but for some reason the game crashes instantly on launch - resulting in a OSX "CrashReporter" window header at the top of the screen and no further info. I have tried looking for Arma 3 logs in the root directory but I don't think it even gets far enough to create an error log. I looked in the system logs and found the following when I try to launch Arma 3: "Failed to connect (view) outlet from (NSApplication) to (NSColorPickerGridView): missing setter or instance variable. WindowsServer: Surface testing disallowed updates for 10 sequential attempts... WindowsServer: Surface test allowed updates after 15 attempts WindowsServer: Surface testing disallowed updates for 10 sequential attempts... WindowsServer: Surface test allowed updates after 13 attempts" Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix this? I understand that a MacBook Pro /OSX isn't a preferred installation, however I can't see why it wouldn't run on here... System Specs: OS: Yosemite 10.10.5 Processor: 2.5Ghz Intel Core i7 Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB / Nvidia GeForce GT750M Minimum Specs: OS: OSX Sierra 10.12.5 Processor: Quad core processor (Intel Core i5 4570S, Intel Core i5 4570R) Memory: 8 GB Graphics: Metal 2.0 compliant GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M or better) 1GB + UPDATE: Just noticed the OS version is too low - will upgrade and see if that fixes it. In the meantime I will post this in case anyone has any better ideas. Thanks in advance
