No support for TrackIR !?

[Keyholebud 51]

I am not sure, but I use Open track with my DIY head tracking unit. it connects via simconnect to FSX"SE. I'm betting it will work, if they have a simconnect with the new Sim. Didn't the say something about simconnect?

I was thinking the same thing. I have set up a lot of software to use tracking, without it Officially being supported.

Thanks.

I'll try and remember that next time I'm flying my PA-28 Warrior II 😉

 

Pfffff... FS2020 allows you to control the weather and fly anywhere in the world—probably better graphics as well.😁
 

By the way, how well does track Ir work in your plane?

Somebody just got owned.

It really doesn't matter if trackIR is supported out of the box or not. They have said there will be an SDK. If you know what a quaternion is then it's something you could implement yourself within a few hours; so nothing to worry about here.

K sincerely doubt if Trackir won't be active at release?

I appreciate your answer, really, but I just looked for quaternion on wiki and I found this is an hypercomplex number, thanks 🙂

How does that help me to use TrackIR?

Yes, this would be somewhat of a deal breaker.  Not everyone wants a VR headset

 Quaternion are tools which help to represent rotation in 3D. To see how it could help tuning TIR is beyond my humble abilities though, I don't have a Field medal   . Then again, Asobo got itself a Ph.D. in roof reconstruction, so who knows what kind of diploma will be required to run the sim ?

I use TIR for all my Flight Sims.  I hope they incorporate it into FS2020 soon.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use a kinect?

Microsoft has discontinued the Kinect.

Their AR product HoloLens 2 might be an interesting peripheral for the new MSFS, but it's aimed more at enterprise and research markets with a price tag of $3,500.

Boo hisss.

Still resurrections all the rage these days, even intel getting in on the action, why stop at Flight.

Clever niche marketing announced by EZDOK developers saying that if FS2020 does not incorporate TIR functionality, that EZDOK v4 (for FS2020) will support it as a standard feature.

People tend to miss the fact that FSX or FS2004 did not support Trackir like other games, which use proprietary Naturalpoint libraries. Microsoft merely exposed SDK which allowed cabin view to be moved, and the rest was done by Naturalpoint in their software. The same SDK functions that EZDOK is using in FSX by the way.
