TrackIR and head tracking discussion

Same here, since I bought TrackIR, I can't think of racing (or flying) without it. Hoping to see it implemented soon!

 

same here , assetto corsa support it and this one no , looks like a joke.

 

Hi Dev's. Pleeeaaassseee TrackIR in ACC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Chucking in my +1 to this one!

 

At least we have look-with-wheel back in. Still holding out for TrackIR support though. I would hope that the Devs would tell us if it definitely wasn't coming.

 

We need answers...please

Now, we're playing the waiting game, I guess...

 

Kunos add Head Tracking support as soon as possible please. Every semi-decent racing sim has supported head tracking. Head Tacking is a requirement for many, not "a nice to have feature". I would have not bought into EA had I of known tracking wouldn't be added for Version 1.0.

 

Wow, no TrackIR? Did they say they would implement it before launch or have they not said anything? I thought I read that they were going to add it later in the development of the game. Seems insane to not include it since it's really easy to implement.

Do you think it's possible that there's a marketing restriction or some financial restriction? Do they have to pay NaturalPoint a portion of the profits from the game? Licensed games are always less profitable because of the license being so expensive and restrictive in terms of content. I wonder if the devs are just trying to maximize profits.

 

You could have started by reading the first page of this thread, but still I can say to you that Kunos didn't said it would be supported either before launch or after. Just that it is/was a low priority feature.
And I very much doubt there are any restrictions whatsoever, other than, as said above, be considered a low priority.

As for the rest of your questions/implied considerations, they have nothing to do with TrackIR support and are completely unfounded.

I’m very much interested in having TrackIR in ACC and I think that, for what I read in this thread, many others are also, probably more than initially anticipated, but, even if I would be much happier to be able to use it already in ACC, you putting questions that imply unfounded considerations, just to vent how unhappy you may be, I think that's completely unreasonable.

 

Wow, calm down Luis. I'm just speculating. I never accused anyone of anything and never implied anything. If you knew how easy this implementation was, you too would wonder why it wasn't implemented, even in the last hour before launch. I work in marketing as do members of my family who regularly work with licenses from huge brands and I have first hand knowledge of the very strange restrictions that are often placed and huge expenses involved with licensed products. No need for you to feel the need to stomp on speculation when a promised feature is suddenly not implemented.

 

assetto corsa have trackir.........and srs

 

And? ACC is a completely different code base using a completely different engine.

UE4 doesn’t support TrackIR so ACC doesn’t either. Of course many of us hope they can work around the engines limitation but the devs have much bigger priorities.

 

I experimented with look with wheel today, hoping that it woulda be a TrackIR substitute. It’s not. It confuses me as to where the car is actually pointing plus it started making me queasy. Won’t be trying that again

 

In which case, Kunos have just lost a huge portion of their potential audience / customers by building a racing sim using an engine that doesn't support Track IR.

I imagine a lot of people have/are buying ACC on the assumption it supports TrackIR, since AC and virtually every other racing and flying sim does. I think it is only fair that a note is somehow put on the advertising page to the effect that "this product does not currently support TrackIR and support for Triples is niave".

ATM, it is sad that I cannot recommend ACC to others unless they have VR, very wide monitors, or are happy with unrealistic high FOVs.

 

Freetrack headtracking plugin for Unreal Engine 4

and FERNBUS SIMULATOR(Unreal Engine 4.13) supports track ir and right mirrors!!

 

That is a plugin, therefor it isn't part of the UE4 engine and not the responsibility of the UE4 team. It is pretty easy to find the UE4 devs position on the subject of incorporating it into the engine.

I read that there is licensing required to incorporate TrackIr, it is one of the UE4 devs stumbling blocks so even though I am sure it is technically feasible, it doesn't mean Kunos can just go and do it, commercial considerations (I wonder how many used it in AC regularly) and licensing limitations can also kill it.

Hopefully when the devs are a little less under the gun they can fill us in on the intentions and put it in the FAQ.

 

For me the absence of TrackIR is a big downer. Kartkraft has promised TrackIR implementation and Fernbus already has it so it is not an issue due to the Unreal engine. Looking at the forum, I'd say TrackIR is the most requested feature at the moment.

 

Come on, Lord Kunos, tell us if and when it comes
