My trackir 3 pro with vector is some great hardware and all, but come on NaturalPoint.....Put down the future plans for the trackir 5 and pick up the phone and call the game developers and get them to make patches for their games! Why do you guys only care about the flight sims and driving games? Is WWII online the only FPS game that is supported? Do you guys make the patches or do the game companies? Or both? I know you have Half-life 2 in the works, but I've already played that twice and don't care to play it again even with trackir.
The possibilities of this fine hardware can extend beyond flight and driving sims. EVERY FPS game needs the trackir. It could even be implemented into future RTS's.
I have a HOTAS Cougar and I fly with trackir. I have a Logitech MOMO and I drive with trackir. But I need to be able to go on a FPS killing spree with full situational awareness with trackir.
I need to also add that since I've had my trackir (about 8 months), there haven't been hardly any new games added to the enhanced list. And most of the ones that have been added are just add-ons or sequels of already enhanced games and not really anything new.
Please NatualPoint! MAKE THIS WORK WITH MORE GAMES!!
MAKE THIS WORK WITH MORE GAMES!!
Re: MAKE THIS WORK WITH MORE GAMES!!
We do what we can to try to get into many types of games. Not just Flight Sim or Racing Sim... It's up to the game developer in most cases to decide if they want to include support.
You would help in the cause to request TrackIR support from your favorite game developers directly instead of here.

Thanks for nothing.

Very polite 'sh25ep'.
An inspiration to us all in the gentle art of good manners.
A very polite question followed with a well thought out and considered response to Ricks reply.

Re: MAKE THIS WORK WITH MORE GAMES!!
It was a simple request and instead of him saying "we'll get right on that" he basically said "do it yourself". I didn't pay all this money for trackir just so I would have to call up game developers and make it work. That's not my job. That's naturalpoint's job.
Furthermore, here's a quote from the game page: "Visit our forums and tell us which other games you'd like to see enhanced!"
Well, that's pretty much what I did and I get the "do it yourself" response.
FURTHERMORE, it says right on the home page that trackir is "ideal for:: driving, flight, strategic FPS" with a screenshot of games supposedly supporting trackir. Yet the screenshot of the game that is the FPS looks like half-life 2.(?) If it is, then that's not right for them to put that there because trackir doesn't support that game yet! AND, it's misleading because any person not knowing any better would assume that there are more than just one FPS to play with trackir. Remember, WWII Online is the ONLY FPS game that works with trackir!
NaturalPoint, I don't appreciate your misleading marketing ploys. Things like that do you no justice and only hurts you in the long run.
Toad, sarcasm is not polite.

Demands such as 'MAKE THIS WORK WITH MORE GAMES!!' are not a polite request.
'Please could you try and make this product work with more games' in lower case is polite and is more likely to get a productive response.

Please. Ask. But don't expect it as a given right just because you've bought a TIR that everyone at NP is going hack, crack and reverse engineer a developers software just to give you what you want.
The voice of gamers on game forums asking for support with a given device goes a long way nowadays. If the demand is there, a good developer or distributor will get in touch with NP and offer help and advice with the code.

Yep. Trackir is ideal for driving, flying and strategic FPS games. It did not state any or all of the games are supported. Are you honestly trying to tell me you bought a hardware device solely on what the front page of the web site said and didn't get as far as pressing the 'Enhanced games' button, looking at the FAQ or reading the forums?
quote: Toad, sarcasm is not polite. No its not polite. I tend to treat people as they deserve nowadays and let them make the choice.
Your first post on this thread was plain demanding, rude and easy to ignore.
The reply to Rick just naffed me off as this is one of the best support for hardware forums I've been to.
Before shooting off at the mouth take time to look through a forum.
