Freetrack interface use in IL-2:CoD

[Sokol1]

I have a TrackIR4 - cost me ~U$ 270,00! Vote for CoD support for Freetrack and others HeadTrack alternatives too.

This because TIR is not worldwide distributed and he had to import it or buy from someone who imported, paying international mail and more taxes to the government. More the gain of the one who imported if they adquired this way. Here we pay 60% (for imported procuts, except printed material (books, magazines etc), this case 0%) over the product and over the shiping expenses. This is ~ $270. This is called "Zil Zil Zil Zil cost".


P.S.: If Oleg distribute CoD worldwide via download we ll not pay 60% over it, only ~ 3% over the credit card bill. This is the tax over the money going outside the country.

If you don't mind me asking, what country is this you mean?

That's around what they (TIR4 Pro) were down here in OZ (iirc) when they first came out. They go for around AUD/US$150 now. TIR5 can be imported to OZ direct from NP for approximately AUD/US$224 and can be found locally from between AUD/US$220 ~ 350, depending on outlet and if it is the Pro or clip version and includes tax. One thing OZ does as far as overseas buying goes (and duty free) is there is AUD/US$1,000 threshold before tax kicks in. That puts the buyer into possible Grey Market and is a can of worms in itself. Shipping method though can wipeout any tax savings.

Sounds like Brazil.

One of the Pigs is from there and getting any good sim gear is a real challenge.

Thanks for that... yeah 60% import duty + another 18% on top.
The 3% isn't tax though, it's what the Credit Card company charges the vendor for using the system, it is world wide that one.

Freetrack support definitely!

Many sim enthusiasts are very creative with their set-ups, often building parts and constructing their own pits with varying levels of complexity. Freetrack can slot into these builds very nicely.

Dissect a webcam (IR filter removal), construct your tracking points with IR LEDS or a mounted IR light source with reflective tracking and you have something that is absolutely on a par with TrackIR with full 6DOF. The reward is you constructed it yourself, it cost very little and it works perfectly.

I have used Freetrack in IL-2, worked great. I currently use it in WoP and it is implemented perfectly.

I have been using FreeTrack for a long time now and works like a charm. I didn't have to remove the IR filter on my cam either, i just close the blinds and use bright LEDs. It would really be a bad thing not to have support for it in CoD.
