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 🤘

Bin 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!

I'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

Apparently #FreeSpace2 Open got a #VR feature and FekLeyrTarg demos it using #Diaspora 🤔

Pretty rad 👍
Playing #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).
Someone 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.

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.

Now that I think about it, the GTD Aquitaine having a crew of 10,000 doesn't seem *too* off the mark. It's got twice the air wing of a Ford-class carrier, which has a crew of 4,500, *and* a Hecate-class destroyer is bogglingly more massive. 337 metre length for the Ford versus 2174 m for the Hecate. *Dang*. #Freespace2
And here's the Hercules Mk II

I pulled out the Sathanas 3D model now: https://www.printables.com/model/313957-freespace-2-sathanas
Just one thing. It's HUGE.
Enjoy

Next model up, Ravana!
Does anyone remember FreeSpace 2? I took my time to pull out some 3D models from the latest MediaVPs and converted them to STL and uploaded them on printables.
First one is the Perseus, more to come!
