I think I posted this about a year and half ago, but it sure would be nice if this was implemented.
From what I understand, it isn't that hard to put it in, but then again, I am not a developer.

Do you think this will be in the game one day?

Here is a video from Jumpgate using it and this game came out in 2001

And we've been online since early 2002. It's not really how old a given game is, but rather how they allocate ongoing development resources.

The naturalpoint thing looks interesting, but no it isn't a huge priority for us right now. I would rather spend time on game development in the near term. If we get some free time to implement it, and some hardware for testing, we'll check it out.

But I'm not about to burn time on that at the expense of broader gameplay advancement in the near term.

Thanks for the reply Incarnate, I understand.

I know it isn't a priority. Just hope one day it might get in. I use it all the time in other simulators and it really makes you feel like you are in the cockpit and it enhances your awareness of objects around you, especially when you are in combat.

That would be awesome.
