FreeTrack Forum

Can you guys help me please and tell me if there are any 6DOF flight sim demos. I am trying to get a wiimote with track ir clip pro working and want to test out a game demo. I need to try out a demo first to see if my setup works!

Many thanks in advance

Certainly Microsoft Flight Simulator X has 6dof.  It's quite an experience- I've never tickled my flying fancy like this without flying real airplanes before.  Get it (along with a fast computer and quality flight controls) get in, and go flying. The better the interface in addition to head-tracking, the fuller the immersion- so higher-end controls (I use the Saitek x52 Pro, which comes with an FSX demo version BTW) are worth it.  Wiimote is the best tracking (IMO) available now in personal flight-simming, because it's fast and CPU/Graphics card friendly.  There's just no such thing as too much graphics power, and no processing to spare, because the potential in the FSX software (in combination with evolving add-ons) is stupendous- can't be maxed out without phenomenal hardware.

If you really want to learn about flying, FSX is a rich and fun learning environment.  Moving around and interacting in the virtual cockpits available there -especially the best and faithfully-rendered ones- is vivid, like flight simulation never was before head-tracking.  I know that I find it so... and I'm an 8k-hour CFIIMEIG (in other words I fly a lot IRL).  I've trained in FAA-certified Level-D simulators, and I'm highly impressed with the potential of FSX with good hardware running it, and good interfaces accessing it.

This discovery has found me in awe of this dawning VR age.  Everyday people are going to have unprecedented access to interactive learning in the near future (in all sorts of specialized fields) and I fully expect that it's going to change everything.  Get inside FSX with FreeTrack, for a preview.

Also, FSX is cheap and widely distributed.  If you're into aviation already, get the "Deluxe" version for more missions/lessons and mission building-  I wish I had done so initially.   Enjoy!

hello vavavoom

You can try Aces High 2 : http://www.hitechcreations.com

It's 6DOF trackir enabled and free to download

(you only need to pay if you want to fly online in the arena)
