The question still remains. Will freetrack work in COD? I refuse to buy trackIR.

@OP:

In my (and my squadmates') experience the "Requires a dark room to work properly most of the time" issue is the other way round, as in, TIR needs to be in dark, and FT doesn't.

I personally haven't had TIR, but my squadmates (with many different TIR versions) have reported that sunlight in the room really wreaks havoc on it. An in my personal experience FT isn't bothered by it at all.

My rig:
M$ VX3000 webcam with IR filter removed + 2 layers of floppy disc covering it from visible light.

Hat with 4 (obsolete configuration but still works with the latest FT version) super bright IR leds (TSAL5100) powered from USB port.

Price:
Webcam 20€
Leds, resistors and wiring 4€

No matter the lighting conditions my setup works perfectly smooth with 30fps.

And yes, I really hope that FT will be supported

Perhaps UBI will actually get something right and block (through DRM) it out? unless of course FT has their own bits and pieces, which don't infringe on anyone elses' copyrights, and have asked professionally for the developers to test and include it.

As I have understood, the FT did use the TIR interface in the past as it was the only way to get the tracking info in the game. Even then they had their own interface, it just wasn't used by any game.

As NP encrypted their interface, the FT community became more loud in their requests for game devs to include the FT interface. And in some happy cases they have done so.

Hmmm. Half of the gamers use FT. I dont believe all those people will rush out to buy TrackIR. It's funny, half of my squadmates are using Trackir and they are having problems. Software is frezzing, that flimsy clip doesn't want to stay in position etc. The other half is happy and problems free. Look what happened with Arma2. Users created a big fuss and now is suported. Suicide for COD will not be the lack of dynamic campaign and bla,bla,bla but tracking support or better, lacking of "some" head tracking support. ~S~

"Wolf Rider", simple as that: FreeTrack software is GNU, freeware. Have SDK inside, you can mess around as you can.

FreeTrack has your original interface that any dev can use, with lots of outputs.

The math involved in getting the 2d image of 3 points in space and output some positional data isn't NP product. NP win nothing with all "lawsuits" they try, but NP obviously give some money that some simmers give to them to make devs block FT interface and others for HT.

You know nothing, Wolf Rider. Stop talking about things you ignore, please.

And 1C, Oleg, Ilya... any word? You can't talk about it?

Why? You will be murdered by NP if so?

Really...

LoBiSoMem... then why at one stage at least, and still does according to reading, does FT pull information out of NP software?
