That was a commercial package, I think originally from Aerosoft. However, some of Peter Kruesi's other works can be found on various packages now available from archive.org. For example, see the 3 Apollo Collections available from archive.org, the 3rd one is here: https://archive.org/details/apollo-collection-3-great-airlines

This, and the previous 2 Apollo Collections are available from archive.org: https://archive.org/details/apollo-collection-3-great-airlines

Although I don't have TrackIR - apparently it does have 6DOF - as stated on its page at: https://www.trackir.com/games/ Back in the FreeTrack days, a kludge to have 6DOF in FS9 was to copy the "TIRViews.dll" file from the TrackIR installation and place it into the FreeTrack installation directory. http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=2679 Unfortunately, FreeTrack does not work for me on Windows 10 - it installs but crashes as soon as you try to use it. So there only seems to be one option to have the full range of movement in FS9 and that is to buy TrackIR.

I suspect we're not talking about the same thing. As far as I can ascertain Opentrack in FS9 (even with FSUIPC), cannot give you 6DOF (6-Degree of Freedoms): yaw, pitch, roll, and the axes: x, y & z. It may be that you are seeing yaw for example, which is a rotation of your view left and right, rather than what I'm talking about - the actual movement of your head left and right. This would mean, for example, that you could move your head (and body) to the left to the point that you were looking out and past your left window - actually having your head outside and looking at the side of the aircraft. Or raising your head to see over the panel of the aircraft - similar to having your seat raised - as distinct from just rotating your head upwards, say to view your overhead panels. The issue has been discussed previously, and the conclusion seems to be that 6DOF is not possible with Opentrack in FS9. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/625867-opentrack/ https://forum.simflight.com/topic/51353-setting-eyepoint-for-6dof-head-tracking/ https://forum.simflight.com/topic/97062-head-tracking-not-working-in-full-6-degrees-of-freedom/ However, anything is possible, so if somehow you've got Opentrack to work with 6DOF in FS9 - there would be many who would love to know how you were able to do this.

Thanks, dihedral2. Can you explain your setup? Are you using a smartphone as the camera? Using the PS3-eye camera, doesn't allow Opentrack to use the z-axis (the vertical up/down movement).

Boeing B-314 Virtual Cockpit For those wanting to have the B-314 Clipper with a Virtual Cockpit, there is an FSX converted version with a VC by Erwin Welker. By applying a patch, you can revert it to an FS9 version with a VC! Erwin's version can be downloaded here: https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/202514-fsxp3d-v3-boeing-314-clipper The FS9 patch can be downloaded here: https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Boeing314Clipper.zip Boeing B-314 Sound A sound package for the B-314 Clipper was made by Aaron Swindle from Skysong Soundworks (sb314_sound.ZIP though I can't remember where I got it from). The sound package was included in the FS2002 of the Sikorsky S-42A: https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/48931-fs2002-pan-am-sikorsky-s-42a/ and was also included in Michale Pooks' mod of the Clipper: https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=FSX_B314Clipper_Panel_and_Sound_Update.zip Paul

It works, but it is limited (compared to using it in FSX). You can view from side to side, but it doesn't allow you to raise your head up or down eg. if you want to look over your panel more when landing.

Interestingly, there was a FS98 program called "Landing Lights Utility" by Siggy Schwartz that retrofitted landing lights to FS5 aircraft converted to FS98. A light definition file (a simple text instruction) was used for each aircraft.

The link to download the package has changed. You can now find it here: https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/205496-fs2004-the-natural-world-2019/

Additionally, there is a FS2000 Upgrade patch from Wilco for Airport 2000 Volume 1: you can download it from Simviation: https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=a2v1_fs2000.zip If you experience a WORLD.VIS error when installing the Wilco Airport 2000 Volume 2 under FS2000, there is a fix issued by Wilco. You can download it from Simviation: https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=FS2000_Airport_2000_Error_Fix.zip I've also attached it here. To my knowledge, Wilco never issued FS2002 update patches for Airport Volumes 1 & 2, only for Volume 3. Also, regarding the Airport Volume 3 FS2002 Update patch, note that the patch will not allow the adventures from the FS2000 version to run under Flight Simulator 2002.
