Yes it is, using FreeTrackClient.dll as Freetrack Interface.

But you will never understand this simple thing...

[Wolf_Rider]

then there shouldn't be any need for the tir interface checkbox

[sigur_ros]

That's for old games that aren't being developed anymore which can't possibly have Freetrack interface added.

[Wolf_Rider]

so it isn't independent then... thank you

[sigur_ros]

You asked for a need and I gave it to you, that says nothing of dependence.

Do we have an answer from the devs on whether FT will be supported in CoD? Don't have time to wade through 44 pages of what seems mostly bollocks...

WR: FT isn't completely independent though

LoBi: Yes it is, using FreeTrackClient.dll as Freetrack Interface

WR: then there shouldn't be a need for TIR interface checkbox

SR: That's for old games that aren't being developed anymore which can't possibly have Freetrack interface added.

SR: You asked for a need and I gave it to you, that says nothing of dependence.

where exactly did you go wrong, Siguer?

W_R are you stupid or are you kidding? they already told you FT is indipendent, if you want you can just remove the checkbox and rebuild the software, the source code is available...

[Wolf_Rider]

as you would have read albx, removing access to NP would make it independent - yes
It would also show good faith... I suppose if someonone did as you suggested in removing and rebuilding, how long before someone else later on would reinstate and rebuild? It may also explain why there hasn't been any updated software for 2 and bit years

this is why the softwares are open source!! i can do what i want with it, also include a button that make me a coffe or scratch my back!!
To be more serious, i don't think you are stupid W-R, but you should understand that FT is a valide alternative at a more expensive TrackIR. Who, like me, like to build his own device, and is satisfied when something he did works very good, then you should use FT, different is who don't have time or don't like to build 3 simple leds then should buy TrackIR. BUT!!! do you think is right that a software should use ONLY 1 head tracking device, considering also that there are others and LEGAL? don't you think it is forcing people to buy Trackir? What if one day a car maker decide that you should use only 1 kind of gas for your car, or only 1 kind of tires? do you still feel free?
I hope I have been clear at what i said, english is not my native language, sorry...
