Going to investigate – apparently FSO can use fifo pipes too and this example may help me get ship telemetry going for my #simpit.
Demo: FreeSpace 2 Open with head tracking from Viture Pro XR glasses IMU data – on Linux PC
Until now I used OpenTrack with my DIY IR tracker or the Neuralnet tracker. I knew that my XR glasses feature IMU data though and the xr_driver of the Breezy Desktop project allows to access the data via IPC on Linux PC. So I did what Linux user do: I wrote a script to access the IMU data and forwarded it via UDP to OpenTrack:

This reminded me that I also wrote a proof of concept to implement the FaceTrackNoIR (or OpenTrack) protocol into FreeSpace 2 Open on Linux PC ( https://makertube.net/w/7VtfAjW7EiAUS5aiPwG7if ) so I gave it a spin to test the data bridge. That was smooth sailing!
The mod is Diaspora: Shattered Armistice, still awesome today: http://diaspora.hard-light.net/ (Warning: This may fuel a desire to re-watch the BSG series again 😀).
The bridge code can be found at https://github.com/bekopharm/xr_to_opentrack (pending changes).
It works with the Breezy GNOME xr_driver: https://github.com/wheaney/breezy-desktop (but the Vulkan one works probably too but that’s untested). It should also be compatible with other glasses that have IMU for Breezy available.
Update: hodasemi wrote a Rust connector based on the idea that works without Breezy: https://github.com/hodasemi/xr_to_opentrack_rs – comes with a systemd service file so it can run in the background. Once installed the only step left to do is fire up OpenTrack 🤘

CegorachBin mittelschwer von #Knossos (#Freespace2-Launcher) irritiert
Habe jetzt ca. 4-5x ein sinnvolles Steuerschema für den Thrustmaster Hotas festgelegt…
Wenn man Änderungen speichert, muss man sogar einen Preset-Namen vergeben?
Keine Ahnung wie man ein Preset lädt!
Einige Mods erkennen den #Joystick überhaupt nicht? Obwohl gleiche Engine/Binaries?
Und dann war da noch "Gespielt, Beendet, Neugestartet -> Fortschritt/Einstellungen weg!"
Yay!

Christophe JammetI've been thinking alot about #vintagegames lately. I think I'm going to dive back into the ones that captured my imagination as a child/teenager. #freespace2 , for example, was an absolute delight of space combat that still is a GOAT to this day, thanks to its large and dedicated #modder community at #hardlightproductions

Pretty rad 👍
Diaspora Mission 1 in Virtual Reality (Battlestar Galactica Fan-Game on FSOpen; Oculus Quest 1 Link)
VelinionPlaying #starfield is just enough of a nostalgia tug for the Space Sim genre that I'm thinking about digging my fight stick out of storage and playing through #freespace2 - less artifacts, much more satisfying dogfights and way more depth (which it should have since space combat is all it does).
Ian CorbySomeone years ago took the Freespace 2 soundtrack, and mixed in relevant in-game dialog, and made this masterpiece.
50 minutes long but if you are a fan, very worth it.

Freespace 2 Soundtrack Mashup (3)
I was sent a link to some music files from the soundtrack composer of Freespace 2, and hearing it brought back a world of feels.
What a great game.
From the time when X-wings duelled TIE Fighters and Wing Commanders fought, then were allied with, the Kilrathi. It was a great era of space flight Sims on the PC.
