tjhowse Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi, I know this is somewhat of a hot question in some circles, and I've looked through the stickies and found nothing newer than five months old on the subject, but I'm wondering if there's a chance that A-10C will support freetrack nativley either now (in the beta which I'm currently downloading) or once it is released? I was exceedingly impressed with Bohemia Interactive Studios when they added freetrack support to ARMA2, they've got me as a customer forever as a result. I would like to see Eagle Dynamics do the same. Thanks, tjhowse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boberro Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 TrackIR producer which the name can't be said has big pressure force of its regime :) I hope there will be native support without patching files.

cctoide Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Not sure if you used FT with Black Shark, but if you did you probably had to use TIRFixer. Right now it doesn't work with Warthog as it uses a newer DLL. The creator of TIRFixer has been notified and it's being updated to work with Warthog. I don't think ED can do much about FreeTrack; they supported at least one free headtracking application before and had to remove it on request, so I'm pretty sure their hands are tied, unfortunately.

Succellus Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It s pretty normal ED doesn t support freetrack, ED would be pretty pissed if someone would do a rogue software of A10c Warthog for example.

Boberro Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Doesn't FT use own software already? Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

tjhowse Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 I don't think ED can do much about FreeTrack; they supported at least one free headtracking application before and had to remove it on request, so I'm pretty sure their hands are tied, unfortunately.I'm having trouble understanding this. Who requested the removal of the other free headtracking application? It s pretty normal ED doesn t support freetrack, ED would be pretty pissed if someone would do a rogue software of A10c Warthog for example.It's just another input device. It would be akin to a particular flight simulator game only working with a certain brand of joystick. I reiterate: BIS added freetrack support into ARMA2 with a recent patch; what's preventing ED from doing the same? Thanks, tjhowse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 what's preventing ED from doing the same? Thanks, tjhowse. Legal issues with Naturalpoints API IIRC.

Boberro Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 So BIS doesn't have any legal issues? If I remember correctly and if it is true, all NP patents have been rejected and FT uses own API.

cctoide Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 FYI, you can now use the latest version of TIRFixer to patch 32 bit Warthog to support FreeTrack. Note that if you have a 64 bit system the 32 bit files were installed to \bin\x86, those are the ones you need to patch. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjhowse Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Bohemia interactive support both TrackIR and Freetrack. You can select either or both in the controllers menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
