FaceTrackNoIR
Not the thread jack, just a quick review on a similar free product:
I downloaded FaceTrackNoIR last night and spent a few hours getting it set up. Today I had the opportunity to fly offline combat with it. Here are my impressions:
It has IL-2 support. All that really means is it is recognized by IL-2 and there are ready made sensitivity settings for this sim.
Unfortunately, those settings only really get you in the ballpark. I found that I had to made the "yaw" settings pretty high to be able to look over my shoulders. The 'pitch" settings (look up/down) also had to be set high.
It has taken a LOT of tweaking to get it to run.
And when it runs, it runs WELL. It's s totally different combat experience when the view changes as you move your head.
Unfortunately here again, it loses tack of your face on a regular basis. My view control then defaults to the HAT switch on my stick, which is ok.
But, it is a bit of resource hog. Really, it's just a CPU hog. As it searches again for your face, there is a noticeable slow down in performance.
So now I am betwixt and between. I now feel I NEED such a system for simming, but this one is not quite ready (it is a WiP too LOL). TrackIR may be in my future, I just hate giving my wife any more ammunition to use against me for my gaming geekiness.
