Just how popular is 6DOF

There is the Wiimote/freetrack/IR trackclip solution as well Joe, if you have a Wii its near cost free, and 100fps.

Wiimote has hardware ir tracking of up to 4 points.

Two gotchas though, you need a compatible bluetooth dongle and stack ( under XP/Vista this can be a PITA, under Windows 7 the default bluetooth stack works a dream ). The other gotcha is, Naturalpoint embedded protection into their API for a while now, and whilst workarounds exist for games written to support the later versions of their API’s, it can be a bit of a black art. This is not a problem in IL2 however.

I have come across a method of using an early TIR unit in conjunction with Freetrack to enable 6DOF/ multiple point tracking but haven’t been able to remember the URL ( and it was a few system rebuilds ago so not in history )

Dang it, I’ve kept saying I can get by without it, I have something that works and don’t want to spend money (tight Scot).

But you all should work for the sales team. So, can anyone advise where’s the best place to buy one, and what version?

Try ebay, worked for me

Im new with track IR and 6DOF and have to say I would not like to fly with out it as when I got it my flying and my DF ability went up considerably along with my air kill rate.
