TrackIR for Linux

[Davo]

I'll add myself to the list .. I am currently looking for options, and just passed by trackIR after seeing something about no support, but lucky I found this thread, just to voice that I am a customer that is now looking at other possible solutions. I agree with the poster marcovd. I gave up trying to push companies into supporting linux, there's other options generally, looks as tho the market is there for someone tho

Thanks for you time.

Still no linux drivers for TrackIR?

Correct; as soon as we have more updated information, in regards to Linux support we will post it in the forums.

Any updates on this now? I would really like Linux support.

I am looking for a head tracking solution on Linux, and TrackIR hardware looks like a solid option. I will definitely buy the TrackIR 5 as soon as native Linux software (not involving Wine) will be available.

Please make TrackIR on Linux a thing.

Reasons:

• Steam.
• More and more game engines are being ported to Linux.
• Many flight sims and games that could/would use TrackIR already exist.
• With Vulkan being released, Linux is the future of gaming.

I think now its the matter of what will arrive first on Linux - TrackIR or Vive.

Hello,

I have impressed upon my dev how much Linux support is requested. Though I don't have anything to announce just yet, please know that I am working on all feature/support requests that come in. Hopefully one day I can give you the answer that you are looking for. Thank you for keeping up on this topic.

Regards,

Thanks Mike,

I understand that getting your software working on Linux is a learning curve unto itself, so I hope the benefits of learning it can more than justify the time invested. Are you able to share what language TrackIR is written in?

Sorry to be a pain, but... any word?
