Free-track IR 2 DOF?

[swiss]

2.2 does work with 1946

I made an FT hat - I even manged to make it work with TIR3 cam and FT.

Hat, TIRcam and TIRsoftware don't work tho.

As fas is I know FT and BOP doesn't work.

BOP...? I have WOP working with FreeTrack. Had to download a file (link available from the Yu Play 'Wings of Prey' Forum) and drop it into the FT folder.

Not a clue what it does though other than make FT (6 DOF) work with WOP!

Thanks for letting me know that V2.2 will work, mucho appreciated!

BOP - WOP, sorry my bad. I thought it's called "Birds of..."

I'm another freetrack user, it works just fine... with my 3 leds cap . Ah... can somebody post their freetrack settings? I configured mine and works almost perfect... but i wanted compare with other users...

thanks

My settings
Small soft response curves on all rotational axes
Translational axes depend on the sim - with an optical HUD, linear, with ring and bead, small soft.

also (for IL-2):







This might be useful for anyone new to electronics, who is thinking about making their own:

thank you julian265, i'll try your settings

I have Freetrack working in IL1946 with 3 point 6DOF (mod required) and find that having a small reduction in sensitivity on the axis profile curves (as described in the FT user manual) makes a big difference! I am amazed at the difference using head Tracking makes. I used to fly in virtual view but now I am hooked into cockpit view only and re- starting all my favourite campaigns/missions.

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.

Have you not tried Freetrack? It certainly exceeded my expectations. I run in 'Perfect' and no problems whatsoever with performance issues or checking my 6. Never tried the Natural Point Track IR to make a comparison but at the moment I am more than happy with Freetrack and would rather spend the dosh on a Saitek X52 stick!

May I assume that I could buy the TrackIR cap to use with Freetrack?

I really don't want to go through the trouble of building a cap for the game.
