NOTE
The bug in X-Plane V10 was fixed around beta 7, so this plugin now works properly.

There is a misinterpretation that this is a Track IR plugin first and foremost.
It is not and if it was it would be called TrackIR something or other.
This plugin was designed to allow the pilot head to be positioned in a 3D cockpit.
That is why there is a plugin for Windows. Linux and OSX.

Because I had a Track IR 4 device I added support for windows as that is my main Flight Sim OS.
This was straightforward as I had the Natural Point SDK, which only supports windows.
So this plugin only has Track IR support on windows.
Please do not email me about Track IR for Linux or OSX.
Thanks.

NOTE
I have had a couple of emails asking when this plugin will work in XPlane V9.
This plugin already works in XPlane V9.
However do not use Ctrl 'O' to enable the plugin as this will cause a conflict with XPlanes' native 3D cockpit.
You may see the cockpit shuddering if you use Ctrl 'O'
Always use the PilotView Plugin Enable and Disable.
