Trackir
I know usually this old device is not used in new games, but I think this would be a great tool to make quick looks unbuttoned and have a better situation awareness as with trackir we can look and manage gun at the same time.

Thanks.

It's not used in a ton of games. It's used in very specific simulator games, and is a great tool. But let's not pretend it's used that often. Flight sims, Truck sims, and some driving sims are about all it's used in. (I used it in DCS until I swapped to VR).

In SteelBeasts it is used and is a great help for spoting soon enemies unbuttoned and great situation awareness

It's used in a lot of games, new and old. That listing of TrackIR-enhanced games isn't all inclusive, either, as I use TrackIR with Tiny Combat Arena (that's not on their list and it's a relatively new [and early release] game). ANY game that supports head-tracking can be used with TrackIR.

I'll pass on using it with GHPC, though. It's not going to give me any advantage over keyboard and mouse - I can already look and use the gun at the same time without head-tracking. I consider GHPC a middle-ground sim and that's it's niche...I'm not gonna try to treat it as Steel Beasts (which I already own).

Headtracking is available in the majority of games where it makes sense for it to be used -I.e., simulation games of various sorts. It doesn't make much sense in most other games, especially ones played from a 3rd person perspective.

I would love to see TrackIR in this game as I use it in other tank, mil, flight sim, racing games.

It would be a nice addition, especially for having a quick scan around.

Edit- I retract my statement. Having played the game for a few hours I can't see the point of track ir. You'd only use it when turned out.

Add Tobii eye/head tracking.. blows away TIR and is hard to play games like this without anymore.

OKAY...I guess you don't play MilSims, like ARMA then.
Space? Star Citizen? Squadrons?
Nevermind. TrackIR is STANDARD in basically ANY FlightSim, RacingSim and MilSim...

Tried both, Tobii is really nice, but eye tracking is a bit "nervous" and the head tracking a little sluggish compared to TrackIR. They are both great, but i DEFINITELY prefer TrackIR.

For GHPC? Would be beneficial, but not a must. I would use it though.

You left the door open to adding Tobii support.. LOL *joking* It's too bad though you are not considering adding head and eye tracking support though. It is game changing in a way that's hard to describe.

Totally agree. Track IR is available in War Thunder and really adds to simulation in that viewing is unbuttoned. I can't see how it's not being considered. It's a MUST for sims. PLEASE reconsider.
