Usage of turend TrackIR

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a TrackIR that is turned by 180°
2. Don't find an option to use it this way.
3. Be frustrated. ;)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

111129 on Mac OS X 10.7.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Words can not describe how awesome your program is and how thankful I am that 
you made it. I will donate 15€ soon. Theres one small issue that i'm having:

My TrackIR 4 has no foot (it fell off before I bought it, got it for 20€ in 
eBay), so I taped it to the frame of my monitor. Because of the cable, this 
setup requires that the TrackIR is turned by 180°. (see picture) The 
TrackIR-Software for Windows features an option to use a TrackIR that is turned 
by 90° steps. I can't find an option in Linux Track to use the program this 
way. I don't know anything about programming, so I have no idea how complicated 
it is to implement this. Considering the build quality of the plastic parts in 
all Natural Point products, I think think there are a lot of people who use 
this or similar setups. Implementing an option to use it with Linux Track would 
really make me and all those people happy! :)

A quick update - the thing proved to be a little more fun, than expected, so 
please be patient - I want to make pretty sure I'm not screwing the rotated 
translations feature, before I go for a release...
Thanks for your patience,

Michal

Hello,
the new package is out - can you please verify that it works for you?
In the first pane, there is a Camera Orientation combo - just select there 
upside-down and you shoult be good to go...
Kind regards,

Michal
