Welcome to Zombocom! I mean, welcome to the release of 3.6.16 final! This is based on revision 9518. Enjoy!
Previous 3.6.14 Release ThreadImportant!!As always, you need OpenAL installed. Linux and OS X come with it but Windows users will need to get Creative's
OpenAL installer.
Important!!Also, since the internal code linking for TrackIR was revised, an external DLL is now required for FSO to use TrackIR functions.
The following DLL is simply unpacked in to you main FreeSpace2 root dir.
TrackIR is only supported on Windows.
