my trackir5 is dying...how is freetrack?

S!

Been a happy Freetrack user for ~4 years with no problems. Squad mates with TrackIRs report problems with light sources such as lamps and the Sun. With properly done FT these are no problem.

Paying ~30 euros for a webcam + few IR leds and putting in 2 hours of work beat paying hundreds of euros/dollars for a device with similar or lesser capability

The only issue I have using FT with CloD is that I have to Launch it after CloD has loaded. Sometimes, if I launch FT first it locks up after the game has loaded. I thought it was an issue with the PS3 eyecam but it does exactly the same with a standard Webcam. The problem only occurs with ClOD and I can only assume that there is some sort of conflict with FT loaded into memory before CloD. Reverse the boot up and its fine.......

Strange. I always started FT first and never had that problem either with a Logitech Fusion or the PS3 Eye.

I have a similar minor glitch. When I launch FT and select the CloD profile, and then launch CloD, it goes to the IL-2 1946 profile for some reason. Pretty minor though

I uploaded the track with FT working with cheap camera vx-1000 and cheap IR LEDs( sanded down).
This is for guys who are capable of bending some wire and have some little experience with soldering iron ( it can be done even w/o soldering iron but with different camera A4tech pk-333mb, MSI Starcam 370i...)
and don't want to pay 200$ for TrackIR which is in my opinion obsolete from the point when dual core processors arrived.

Sorry I'm too lazy to put it on YT , just unzip it and put the track in your
