Win a TrackIR 4:PRO!

NaturalPoint has donated a TrackIR 4:PRO to be given away in a contest being held by Bohemia Interactive to promote their upcoming title Armed Assault and their 100th edition of FlashNews. The theme of the competition is: What is the best RPG launcher attack position?

Armed Assault, brought to you by the creators of Operation Flashpoint, is an incredibly realistic TrackIR Enhanced combat simulation.

Featured TrackIR Title

Wings Over Europe: Cold War Gone Hot
Wings Over Europe: Cold War Gone Hot is a jet combat game set in the hypothetical 'Cold War Gone Hot' scenarios over Europe from 1960's to 1980's. Flyable aircraft include the F-100 Super Sabre, F-105 Thunderchief, F-4 Phantom II, F-15 Eagle, A-10 Thunderbolt II, British Hunter, and the exciting vertical take-off and landing of the Harrier "jump jet."

This popular flight sim from Third Wire Productions, developed by Tsuyoshi "TK" Kawahito, is an evolution of Strike Fighters: Project 1, which was the very first TrackIR Enhanced game. Wings Over Vietnam is another TrackIR-enabled title in the series, using the Strike Fighters engine. Don't miss these amazingly fun titles!
