I was over at a mates house and he was showing me some ww1 flight sim game and trackIR and I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. I seriously couldn't believe it.. man it was just so natural to look around with your head like that... amazing technology. You guys should really look at trying to get it onto consoles.. they all have tracking tech built in now...

Anyway

On your homepage is a list of games.. dose this mean that ONLY those games work on it.. or is that "native support" as in these games are designed and work fully.. but you can use the trackIR in other games.

Basically what I am wondering is there a way to use this with first person shooters? Either by simply taking over control of the mouse (though your faq says it dosn't do that) or even better allow head movment independently of the gun.. so you can aim and shoot with teh mouse but look around with trackIR...


Dose anything like that exist.. is there ways to get it working on other games not in that list by using assignments.. like assigning left arrow to look left in trackIR.. stuff like that...

The game I am currently most keen for this to work on is Shattered Horizons. Though other FPS would be awesome as well.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jynks,

Those games rotating on the front page are just a few that we are highlighting. The comprehensive list of titles with official support is over 100 long, and can be found here:

There are a few FPS on there, though we have more in mind, if we can convince the developers to integrate our code. For the time being, my top recommendation would be Arma 2. It's pretty hardcore, and is certainly the most tactical FPS that I've encountered. But, it has a fantastic community with tremendous modding support. More than probably any game I've played, it can really be whatever you want it to. Large scale multiplayer PVP, single player RPG style campaign, 5 player coop, etc. It's pretty much all there if you look. Incidentally, their integration of TrackIR is pretty dang good, with some very cool leaning controls in addition to what you described.
