Additional Information

The more I think about this, the more I am dumbfounded as to how a major (even in bold) feature listed, does not work at all. It is almost like nobody tested it and assumed it just works. Is there a TrackIR used during development?

I noticed the same thing, but the reason might be that for now TrackIR hasn't updated it's game list yet. Until now Reforger has been using Arma3 profile, but if there now is full support I would expect that it will require a specific Arma Reforger profile (so TrackIR will recognize Reforger as different game) which isn't there yet. You can of course use your Arma 3 profile once the game is recognized.

Yes I think you are correct. The status light for TrackIR Enhanced game title is lit in the previous version using Arma3 but it is not lit up in the latests version, indicating it does not detect TrackIR support. I am spoiled with track IR and cant make myself look with the mouse anymore so I have to sit this one out and go back to the release version for now.

Hello everyone.
TrackIR has to update the software on their end. Everything should be in order for the 1.2.1 stable!

I just contacted Natural Point "Track IR" and they stated it is NOT on their end. They stated BI has to use the submission form.. the one I linked.. for them to be able to add the game.

Don't shoot the messenger. I am just telling you what Natural Point said. They seem unaware of any form of Reforger, experimental or stable, being listed as supported games.
