So how, where do we go to get Wings of War 6DOF support?? Is it in 4.027?

http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/03- ... f-War.html

Nice picture but no explanation of how we get it?
Do we have to buy it again or what?

or did someone mess up and this announcement should be Wings of Victory?

Hello all,
I jumped the gun by a day or two with the newsletter. Apologies.

An online update to enable support for Wings of War in TrackIR 4.1.027 is now available via the online update.

Thank you very much. A problem that came up but not sure if it is because of the TrackIR update. When playing WOW with TrackIR the guns fire tracers for awhile then the tracers quit but the gun sound continues. When this happens there are no bullets, just sound.

By the way TrackIR 6dof in this game is the smoothest yet! Great job!

Was that a tumbleweed that just blew past?

Thanks Warren!

I just installed the automatic update through TrackIR software, quickly tweaked some of my curves and jumped straight in...Bloody hell! Absolutely fantastic! I did not realise how immersive this TrackIR 6DOF could be when implemented so well in a sim...Smooth as silk and totally natural (leaning forwards to Zoom, shifting left/right to lean towards edges of cockpit etc) to pick up.
This brings on a whole new dimension to flying; especially in a WW1 cockpit, and makes you feel that YOU are really sitting in it.

Naturapoint, my hat of to you.

Good show and thank you!

Did you guns work all the time?

I agree this is the smoothest I have ever seen Track IR work. Why can it be so smooth and natural in this game and so jerky, jumpy, and unnatural in most others? Find out why and we really will have something great.

EDIT Ok just tried it, works wonderfully, only problem like the others have reported my gun stops working shortly after starting.

I'm using the flyby1 patch as per my website that allows more realistic play (no bonuses etc etc) I wonder if others are too?
Could there be clash or is anyone trying this on a clean WoW ?

The patch is probably the problem, we will look into this.
