Faq says nothing and the forums come up with nada. Will
Track IR be supported devs?

Unknown.

Officially PGI has not confirmed or denied this. The people at Naturalpoint have stated that PGI does have their SDK, but they themselves do not announce whether a game is supported for TrackIR until the developer chooses to do so.

There have been MULTIPLE threads requesting TrackIR support. Even a forum member was a jerk and made this promo that made it sound like PGI officially supported TrackIR. That guy was a real jerk.

If you're still a free-to-play sceptc, be assured that MWO's buisness model is doing nothing to undermine its technical quality. Multiplayer only, MWO has its own visual style, is PC-exclusive, and will support DirectX 11, joystics, and the third party head-tracking device, Track IR

Yeah, it definitely would be nice to have official confirmation. I did send email about it shortly before MWO was announced.

I think there are likely more important issues that they will attempt to implement and resolve before heading in the direction of the nice to haves.

I'd certainly say there is a good chance it will come after launch. I don't think it's a priority right now. I certainly hope to see support for TrackIR, I'd love to get one.

This is definately a want. i scoffed at it initially and then tried an older version at a friends house. Ordered a new one the next day. This thing ruins you for games that support it heh.

[MadBoris]

If the game is good than this would be a greatly desired feature.

I would like to look left/right out windows, look at my on board readouts.

[Whiskey87]

I have trouble playing games without it now, it's THAT awesome.

[FactorlanP]

Crossing my fingers for TrackIR support too. It enhances the immersion factor enormously.

I wonder who that was?
