Headtracking support

Yeah, true, definitely nothing for walking. :D

But switching it on/off when you sit down / go up or switching in/out into a camera shouldn't really be a issue at all for a capable developer as Keen.

Totally missed that, thanks for pointing me on it. Pinned your answer so its easier to see.

No worries pal, hopefully they consider it! :)

1.000.000 players.... 1% = 10.000 players. Yeah, that are nothing.

And give me source that show numbers how many percent have a head-tracking capable device. Hint: even a solid webcam can do headtracking.

Was head tracking promised for part 1?

This game would be one of the ultimate flight games if head tracking and full controller/joystick/hotas support was offered!

And the only reason players don't use trackir is because they don't necessarily understand how it would change the experience. It wouldn't just be for flying! I used it in Arma when I played it, as an example and without it I would feel blind.

I don't have a source. I base my words on the fact that this is a highly specialized device used primarily in simulators.

Типа, чел, это бесполезная функция, для очень редко используемого устройства, которая заменяется просто компьютерной мышкой. Игра в настолько ранней стадии, что твоя идея просто замусоривает предложку.

Yeah, a webcam is a really highly specialized device. And I have sources for that:

@Michael: No, it was a other time, head tracking back then was a much smaller niche than today where a lot more solutions exist and you even can now use a webcam setup for it (if you have the right lighting it works good). So it was not promised there, but there is a community made plugin that builds headtracking into SE1 over opentrack (if I remember correct) which supports all kind of tracking hardware (even some more strange one like a WiiMote). Above is also a link with a webcam setup which also should work with the SE1 plugin because it uses opentrack as well.

I missed SE1 plugins completely, so all that stuff is also new to me. I have a Tobii EyeTracker which also support Head Tracking beside Eye Tracking and is supported by opentrack, so I want to try it out with SE1 as well now. Used it for StarCitizen and Elite Dangerous in the past which have bot native support for Tobii. Never used opentrack myself before.

If would need to describe head tracking to someone, I would say it extend your monitor, your field of view. And it feels much more naturally as looking around with your mouse. And SE has already a free look feature when you sit in your cockpit when you hold the Alt key. So there is not much left to bind that to headtracking.

if you have no source you have no facts only your feelings , and it isnt just used in sims it is also used in

Gaming

• 
  Flight simulators
  Head tracking allows pilots to control the aircraft by turning their heads, similar to a real cockpit.
  
• 
  Racing games Head tracking gives drivers a natural sense of perspective when navigating the track
  
• 
  First-person shooters Head tracking allows players to scan their surroundings with their heads, enhancing immersion.
  
• 
  Spatial audio Head tracking enhances the sense of immersion by allowing users to experience sound in three dimensions.
  Unfortunately, there's no definitive data on the exact percentage of gamers who use head tracking. It's a niche peripheral, primarily popular among enthusiasts of specific genres.The amount of people using headtracking is growing however ,and can be done with many webcams and free software like aitrack ,opentrack ,face noir , For most users, OpenTrack combined with AITrack is likely the best free option. It provides accurate tracking, is highly customizable, and has a supportive community.
  

I agree. Rubbish offer. Why not VR right away for First person mode? :)

VR is more popular with users than Head tracking.

Why not both? Both is good. ;)

And yeah, I as technique nerd have beside a Tobii Eye Tracker of course also VR headset inclusive a Lighthouse Setup and a lot of other gadgets (Tundra trackers, Kinect 2.0, WiiMote etc).

Wouldn't VR already require 6DoF head-tracking by default anyway?

Supporting head-tracking seems like a natural step toward VR, or at the very least, a simpler implementation of it.

Since VR already requires 6DoF tracking, implementing the protocols already necessary for major VR headsets—like OpenVR/SteamVR (which, by the way, DelanClip can also use)—means that adding a couple of extra protocols for head-tracking, like FreeTrack or TrackIR API, would be minimal effort in comparison.

If anything, adding head-tracking first is easier than full VR, and it future-proofs the game for potential VR integration down the line.

Well, SE1 has full controller support and the VR controllers are not much different from a normal controller. So that is not really the issue here.
