I recently had a power outage at home and it seems that some kind of power surge screwed up my trackIR 4 camera.
Needless to say i was somewhat irritated to put it mildly (i've had it since Oct 2008 so it's not exactly old). In any case, the LEDs on my trackclip pro still work and i have a webcam (ms lifecam vx-5000), so i thought i might try out freetrack in the meantime and if it's good enough, i might actually keep using it and save some money too.
I understand that i might need to modify the webcam too but it's also used for its original purpose (video calls to relatives abroad with skype), so i wouldn't want to totally remove the IR filter.
What i might do is just place a piece of photographic film on top of it with some adhesive tape or blue-tack whenever i want to fly, so that i can remove it afterwards.
To sum up, i already have a 3-LED assembly and a webcam.
So, my main question is, what are the configuration changes i need to apply to the freetrack software so that it works with the trackclip pro? Also, any special recommendations for the webcam settings (exposure, frame rates, etc)?
You know how it is, once you use head tracking it's very hard to go back, in fact i haven't flown any sim at all since my trackIR camera stopped working. Thanks in advance.
