Hi guys

I have the XWA Upgrade pack and the new dll etc. Going to sort out the 60fps fix too.

Interested in this feature though.There is a nice video on youtube that I can't post a link to. It is the XWA Upgrade '20 years in the making' video. The XWAU section is later in the video.

What I really like is that while targeting the enemy ships, the 'head-look' sort of 'floats' around, following the target as the crosshair gets closer to the target. It looks super realistic and gives a great sense of motion as the pilot's head follows the ship around, rather than the head unrealistically locked to the crosshair.

Now here is my question:
-- is this some setting in the original game, or in an upgrade mod, such that when an enemy is targeted one can choose to let the head-look to freely track the target, up to reasonable limits (i.e. don't turn the pilot's head all the way round if the target is behind)
-- or is it some kind of actual IR head-tracking technology that the guy making the video has, and what we are watching is his real head movement?


Thanks!

IIRC some people did manage to make TrackIR work with XWA, though you'd better ask on the XWA upgrade forum.
There is a "padlock view" in-game that locks you PoV to the selected target, it's probably what you were seeing in the video.

That sounds right. I’ll try that g. Thanks
