TrackIR support?

[Daedalus29]

Hi, I finally finished mapping all my controls, but I cant find the option to activate the TrackIR. Is it integrated yet or do you plan to put it later?

[ThreeGs]

I would like to know this too ?

[Jonny*Combat]

Me three

[Slaintemaith]

Me 90.

[PattyLite]

same....

[KelloHitty]

Me too!

[Ollrick]

No, there is no way to activate it. X3 had that support, now i am asking...
Why does X4 dont support Track IR??????????????????????
Thats a shame....

[RBB]

TrackIR support added in
Public Beta - Version: 2.20 Beta 1 (338019)
Thanks Egosoft !


Old info...
--------------


Update 16-2-19
'X4: Foundations' profile is now listed in the TrackIR software.
Hopefully the next beta patch enables it within the game.


I see a developer has answered a similar question on the Egosoft forum.
Looks like it will be in once they clear some more urgent issues.
See below...

Update 26-1-19
Devs have mentioned that it will be in version 2.5 at the latest...
Update 2.50
TrackIR/Tobii support:
We know lots of people are asking us to support these tools
and while testing may start before it again we aim that 2.50 should bring support at the latest.

Just to re-iterate for those who don't want to read back,
yes head-tracking support is on our list of things to add,
but we are still working on some slightly higher-priority items.
I'll try and post in a few of these request threads when we get closer to having
a beta version with this feature for people to try.

------------
Update at 11-Dec-18: - Added mention of TrackIR possibly in version 1.5 / 2.0.
(But 'no guarantee')
At 45:50 in a dev. interview (11-Dec-18), mentions TrackIR.
"On the list, but can not guarantee when"

Re: Is There No Track IR Support On Release?

We had indeed hoped to get this in for release but it didn't quite make it.
We'll be taking another look at enabling it as soon as we get the chance,
but please bear with us while we deal with more urgent issues.

Re: TrackIR Support is Critical

There is no need for people to keep "+1"ing this. This is a feature we have already said that we plan to work on.
We just didn't have the opportunity to do so before release, and right now we have some higher priority items to deal with.
Rest assured, it's on our radar. :)

The code is still there from XR. It just hasn't been enabled and tested with X4 yet.
Doing that probably won't, in itself, take long; it's just that we can't start that until higher priority items,
such as issues preventing people from playing or preventing them from progressing, have been dealt with.

[lahbaid]

same here... was on the edge to go for the purchase... but not flying without TrackIR (TrackHat in my case)

[LowCountryCat]

Yes, I'm waiting for this as well to purchase.

[GiggleHz]

track ir is awesome and they need it asap

[Vander]

So release it without Track I.R for purchase but substantial amount of people won't purchase it without Track I.R. What could possibly be more critical. Only thing worse than a game breaking bug is not launching/purchasing it at all.

If you saw the state this game is in , you'd thank them for saving you money.
The "urgent issues" are the multitude of bugs (some game breaking) many of which you wont encounter until you are several hours into the game and unable to refund
