First, I didn't mean as sounding negative with my comment. I am very very excited and happy for all the work TD is and have been putting out for IL2! :)

I very much understand point no 1. There are alot of glitches in the 3D models from a 6DOF point of view.. Just look back over the tail of a Ki-61 Hei with modded 6DOF.. there is none! ;)
I don't understand point no 2. You must mean ".. is available for all players"? It can't be that you won't release 6DOF capability until all and every one has head tracking as standard equipment.. ! If though that is the intention, then we are already off on the wrong foot; not all have head tracking gear, not all has HOTAS controls, not all has PC hardware to maintain a smooth game play at all levels and detail of grafix.. etc.. It's up to the "user" to make use of features IMO.

This update made my day. Congrats, TD!

Does it mean that you can rework (not repaint) the cockpits models of some early planes like Bf-109 and P-47 which have ugly interiors in the future?

No no... More like there needs to be a way to achieve 6DoF features with mouse for example. This shouldn't be the hard part IMHO.

@Lacrits: Hello, I didn't take it as negative comment, no worries. Just wanted to answer briefly.

Some graphical glitches are minor, some are more serious as you have pointed out. Some may not give you a visual advantage, some may.

As for the second point, in my opinion 6DoF view (in any sim not just IL-2) should be available to everyone through some alternative hardware control - either TrackIR, mouse, keyboard. It should not be only limited to TrackIR 6DoF device. In other words, in case someone doesn't have TIR, he should be able to make the same head movements (though not as easily and comfortably as with TIR) through another input device.

EDIT: Viikate was faster. :)

Seeing that you replaced the ETC50 rack on the Bf109 appropriately, what are the chances that you extend this effort to further racks, which are lacking in accuracy as well?

Additionally, will you consider adding a rack to the Fw190D series?

i personally would put the labour needed to implement 6DOF in this game in other things....................

Great update DT! Thanks for your hard work.

let me guess, a flyable Bf110C is off limits for IL2 because of SoW , like Spit I, flyable Blenheim, "real" MTO maps, Channel map....................................
even as the Bf110 units, small in numbers, were so important 1941-42 in their groundattack role at the easternfront

Nice work guys, I can't wait.
