Ah gotcha. I'm no master pilot, and quite frankly I suck at dogfights (hope to improve with new gear!). The graphics in WoP look really good, which is why I was wondering about it. I beefed up my system with 2 gtx 460's in SLI back in september and have been itching to get a sim with some major eye candy. I love IL2, don't get me wrong, but I also love sexy visuals.

As for head tracking I've been using FacetrackNoIR. I've got it working reasonably well but it's still slightly slower and not super precise. I get a lot of drifting or bobbing when I look around. I could probably fine tune it more but documentation is scarce and I don't understand what the different settings do really. It's all experimentation If I can't get it down pat I'll probably whip out the charge for Track IR and hope the fiance doesn't notice. I still havn't figured out how I'm going to explain the full CH Hotas setup yet hehe...
