  1. Thinking of dipping my toes into the #xr world and picking up some #rayneo 3S glasses since they are cheap-ish. Have a flight to London in Feb that I kinda want to use them for for watching movies.

    Trying to discern if they would work as #TrackIR / #opentrack on the PC as well, but seems to be a mess software wise.

  2. YES! HUGE NEWS! #TrackIR support is slated to come to #LeMansUltimate in the #ELMS update! That means that I will be able to use the head tracking features of my #Tobii 4C in the game! Will it help me spot Hypercars barreling up my tailpipe on the straight? Absoluetely not because they're too fast! But it's gonna be cool nonetheless. :carby:

  3. Dunno if you heard of #BeamEyeTracker before. It's positioning itself next to #Tobii but uses just a webcam and #Opentrack, so probably just #Neuralnet tracker on steroids - but I'd still appreciate if you could chime in for a #Linux build at steamcommunity.com/app/2375780 too as it seems to be read by the dev|s.

  4. This one flew under my radar so far (haha, sorry):

    Rescue the civilians, race the clock, and raze the enemy in MH-Zombie, the world’s only helicopter arcade simulator! Three flight physics modes, three difficulty modes, and a tutorial mode provide a stepped learning curve and wider accessibility to realistic helicopter flight.

    The reason this came to my attention is because it’s one of the few games that [just] implemented #headTracking via UDP e.g. available by #OpenTrack (and various others). This is great because it doesn’t force people to jump the hoops of #TrackIR, which is only supported for Windows and officially limited to their proprietary devices.

    Apparently it’s written for mobile games but runs on PC as well – that seems to include Linux PC which even makes this a #LinuxGaming title! 🤓

    I don’t know about you but for 3 bucks I’ll totally get this for the occasional pew pew fun. Game seems to be a labour of love so sharing is highly appreciated.

  5. I had the chance to play Flight Of Nova (https://flight-of-nova.com/) for the first time today. This was on my wishlist for quite some time now. Dived in blind and had no idea what to expect. 3 tutorial missions later: Oh boy… this is hard. I can see myself sinking many hours in this.

    Anyway, as usual, my focus is on interfacing with my home cockpit (or simpit) and while there is no ship telemetry [yet?] I was able to get it running just fine via Proton and with my DIY headtracker using OpenTrack. Hats off, seldom that I see a game that detects my joystick just fine, has great ingame calibration, offers me a windowed mode and a bunch of ultra width resolutions without having to resort to hacking config files or use gamescope to resize it ❤️

    Head tracking is, as usually, TrackIR only so far (I guess the native Linux PC version does not have UDP in place here but I couldn’t check due Steam refusing to download another version today). Anyway, you can see me fooling around with the buttons and do an A+ crash landing in the end – sunny side up 😆 Not too shabby considering that this was my 3rd landing at all.
