Star Wars Galaxies space Expansion

[droz]

In case anyone is interested, the space expansion for SWG, known as Jump to Lightspeed, has native TrackIR support.

yes,
and it is very exciting.

one of the cooler things about this implementation is how you're free to still use your mouse to navigate conversation trees, or open your maps, or any of the billions of other menus - while still flying via joystick, and looking around with TrackIR.

plus : WHAT A GAME!

We're currently talking with lucasarts and SOE to make sure we don't step on the toes of any giant's licensing regulations.
Hopefully we'll have it all figured out soon and be announcing it around the website.

I'm very excited it happened.

I was in the JTL beta and was probably one of the biggest lobbyers for this feature into the game. It's almost like they snuck it in there. hehe. I didn't even know untill a week after I bought the expansion.

Okay, I can see that it's mainly for use in space and that it supports enhanced mode but what's the best setup with the SWG options?

Also, my x-axis is reversed, i.e. I look right but I look left in game?
