TrackIR support?

Have not purchased an EA published title since BF3, thought this may be the path back to EA. Got my Origin account out of moth balls (thank you EA support persons) and upgraded to Windows 10 for Star Wars Squadrons. I put my hands up to the stupidity of upgrading and not checking out Dev forums and the hype train etc. but I have been far too disappointed following that route before so stopped that masochistic practice near a decade ago.

BTW don’t like VR, have tried it, don’t like (glasses, uncomfortable, hot, motion sickness, lose keyboard, lose mouse, lose HOTAS, tangle in wires and fall over; blood sweat and tears) so do not come peddling that virtual reality bovine excrement in response to these ramblings.

Was looking forward to this title, it had not even entered my mind that TrackIR would not be supported and I can honestly say that discussions as to implementing HOTAS support being an afterthought are just plain dumb. Lads lassies and others (excepting the two EA support persons), tis not the smell of the countryside on a warm dark night you, the collective EA, is experiencing and it is suggested that the collective EA get their heads out of their arses.

I would like it if the developers and EA would also put their hands up for this stupid lapse in judgement; as was mentioned in an earlier post would you release a game without mouse support? In this day and age I expect TrackIR to be included in sims (flight, space, mech and hell FPS).

It is bad enough that “console ports” are now a marketing sales pitch; I remember when that was considered bad, but to use it as an excuse is well just a lousy excuse and as the consumer I do not accept it. I will be going about getting a refund if there is no patch before the weekend as I am not much interested in a new “retro” “console port” gaming title (I don’t really give a toss about playing with the console kids I suppose) and I will wait for a proper space flight sim or just play Elite D.
