You still need to hold down CTRL.

You can set up a fake TrackerIR with a webcam, some filter, and a diode, and then use mouse emulation.

You can make it (for example) that a 20 degree turn in real life=90 degrees in the game.

As for adding it. While it is a nice thing to have, I dont think too many people in this community have it. If it is put in, keep it in SP.

SWEEEEEEEET! If we include the helmet-mounted sights that allow you to lock onto enemies just by looking at them, that will make my day.

If it is put in, keep it in MP.

So if you want to shout for TIR support you need to ask them. But do not get your hopes up. The TIR developers tried to have them implement it to no avail.

TIR would also just benefit the Pilots in a limited way since you needed to do too much work for implementing it for infantry at this point. Also the pilot's view limits within the cockpit are so limited in vBF2 that it would be really irritating to use TIR. This could be changed by a mod AFIK but as stated in the 1st paragraph no mod team can do anything about this problem...

EDIT: Seems someone hacked together a 6DOF tech demo in BF2 recently. The main problem with that is the trouble it seems to give PB. So we may have reached a dead end again.
