Hey, it is me again.
I guess you have seen quite a few screenshoots from TDU (look at my links...there are always new screenshots added)

Now I have found a link for TDU videos:
They give at least an impression, what TDU will look like.
Getting TrackIR support in that game, will probably BOOST the request for TrackIR.
TDU will be a sure shot, a hotseller, no doubt (don't worry, seems that it will not be too arcade but more simulation style, although it seems, that no damage model is included due to license restrictions).

I heard it through the grapevine, that TrackIR is going to be included in Test Drive unlimited...

well well well....in every rumor there is a little bit of truth...

Thumbs up or down?

We're still working on this, Sir, and made some good contacts at E3.
However, I would not say this is a done deal yet.
We'll report back when we have more news.

[Bran]

Nevertheless great news...I guess you all are doing a great job over there.

...and calling me Sir makes me somehow feel...old.

Hey hey hey...look what I have found out in a german thread concerning TDU:

"TrackIR will be supported".

It is a statement from someone who (verifiable) has direct contact to the developers and who answered my request to ask his "100%-sure-source" concerning TrackIR.

I know, that this statement is not official and therefor nothing more than gossip, but I at least wanted to let you know.

cheers

Very cool,
can you send me a link to this thread?
It would be excellent if the developers themselves wanted to put support in!

But again, this is not confirmed on our end,
because we have not yet established contact with the developers.

So, we're working on it, and will report back when we have anything to report.

Problem is of course, that it is in german.
A short digest:
I (BREN) am discussing with Vykos69 about, what sort of equipment could be supported.
Above guy is a team member of Ocrana Racing...(esports profs)...and they have a french member, who is a programmer of TDU from eden-studios.
Vykos69 answered, that a lot of input devices will be supported, stuff like Act-Labs pedals, GPL USB shifter etc...AND TrackIR.

(I always guessed, that they must have used TrackIR, when looking at certain screenshots and videos)

Take a closer look to the new AC cobra video on the TDU website.
There is a very promising view...the driver looking right over his shoulder. Looks to me, if that was done by using a TrackIR device.

FYI...there are constantly new videos and screenshots on the official site.

This is a MUST BUY for me, no doubt!

Looks really good
