3: The source of the code is open, so maybe someone can make a Mac version? The FlightGear protocol uses UDP, so maybe we can make it work over LAN too?! Then you could run it on a 'spare' Windows-machine. again: seems the DLL-problem is caused by the faceAPI (see. On that machine it worked! It should work for anyone, but well, it's Windows isn't it? P.S.: I have tried it on a virtual machine with XP, that didn't have the faceAPI installed first. The faceAPI needs a 'WDM-type capturing device', whatever that may mean. If it says "No video-capturing device was found in your system: check if it's connected!", well, then obviously your web cam wasn't found. If FaceTrackNoIR starts, the message in the 'bubble' above the settings should show the name of your web cam. I will check if the missing DLL is on my system: perhaps I forgot to include it in the distribution? But it had one big disadvantage: very high CPU usage (around 17), which is not a good idea along side MSFS. The headtracking is probably one of the best of whole lot. O yeah, I do remember something about registering it (it was a while ago). ViewTracker was the first one and although it’s not free, its quite affordable (12 or so), but luckily there is a free 7-day trial to make sure it works for you. It should not be necessary to install the faceAPI first, but if you do (it's free), it enables you to test if it supports your web cam. This is my old video, where I was trying to send inputs through network and you can see that head tracking setup is very cheap and very useful with under 20 euros webcam Also many people think its unnatural for eye muscles, head and neck, but after long time I realized that, it is very good exercise for both eyes and neck because it is better than holding them in same position for hours.Ĭommercial TrackIR give you 120fps refresh, I am using Freetrack setup with camera that make about 30fps, but Freetrack do interpolation and produce more frames per second. So it should be problem to use with any civilian sim.įreetrack and TrackIR software give you ability to setup movement sensitivity and input curves, so after couple minutes any newcomer should became natural with it. Usually for dogfights in Il2 Sturmovik where you have to make very large and very fast movements from side to side, and watching on your six all time. In Flightgear use button "=" for reset center positionĦ.I am using it intensively for about two years with only one 19 inches wide monitor. beta.1.exeĤ.run TrackFG (must be in same folder with cameralibrary.dll)ĥ. Under general add path to config file(depend where is your Flightgear):Ĭ:/Program Files (x86)/FlightGear 2.4.0/data/Nasal/headtracker.xmlģ.Inslall Optitrack SDK - drivers for camera are included (It should work with standard TrackIR drivers too) Also need if you want to compile code.

It is a view tracking device that allows you to look around the virtual cockpit by moving your head. I’ve used TrackIR from Naturalpoint for a long time. in advanced setting in Flightgear wizzard set: TrackIR with DTG Flight School and the DIY Deluxe Desktop Flight Sim TrackIR 140.00. copy folders from Flightgear files to corespondig directories in Flightgear folderĢ. Interface is based on FacetrackNoIR, so settings in Flightgear are almost same. I ve created basic tracking application for TrackIR cameras based on Optitrack SDK - so it support profesional tracking Cameras from NaturalPoint too.
