CFS2

[chucknorris]

HI, I noticed that quite a few people asked If there were plans to make trackir function in Combat flight simulator 2 back in 2005. A fella by the name Rick stated that there was some sort of plan to have the trackir function in the game but that they were looking at a busy year and more then likely would not get to it at that time. My question is... Is this plan for real or should the CFS2 community simply give up hope that it will ever materialize?
Thanks!

Hi ChuckNorris,
We have no plans to support CFS2 at the moment (I'm afraid Rick no longer works here).

It's tricky to get support into older games, as the developers usually aren't working any more additions. (FSX have talked a bit about maybe putting out a new CFS4 as an addition to FSX, if the community will embrace it. So they're definitely not looking back at CFS2).

However, if the community starts developing new additions to older games, we're happy to work with them to get TrackIR support in. At the moment, i have no contacts like this for CFS2.

Apologies. But if this changes, we'll post here in the forums.

Thanks warren that definately answers my question and yes I would give loving embrace to a CFS4 no doubt about it!

How hard is it to make a patch to get CFS2 working with track ir ?

I'm not sure, as i've never modded the game. Does it have mod tools available to the public?

If this is possible, I'm sure we'd be happy to support a team looking into it, and help promote their work to the community.
