Head tracking

[Stumble]

First off, yes I'm cheap. And no, I wont bring myself to get Track IR or VR when my homemade system works perfectly fine. Yeah this way of seeing things might be a flaw of mine, but we just have to live with that

 

I have a 3 point cap head tracker using IR lights and a PS3 eye camera. I use FaceTrackNoIR with the free track plugin. This worked perfectly fine on RoF and the majority of other games (Euro Truck Sim, Project cars, iRacing, Dirt Rally etc). However, it does not work so well with any BoX game. I cant look down at my instruments without the whole game going crazy, then locking me into a backwards facing view even though all my settings seem to be right. I also cant look up more then about 60 degrees, but this is a separate problem discussed here:

I then tried Open Track, but I really don't like the UI and it's very hard to set it up right. That's what I think at least, because i never managed to get it to work any good.

 

As you can expect, this is very very frustrating. Especially since a big part of flying in these WW1 kites is looking around you to see the full picture of whats going on.

 

Basically, I want to know if and what you guys are using, and perhaps the settings you run. I might steal em and see if it helps.

Opentrack old build , works great from ROF to Il2GB. Do not have any issue , imo not hard to set up. Delanclip and PS3 eye with removed ir filter.

Maybe I just need to give Open Track another go... If you could share the config that would be great thanks Also, the the config within the game itself too.

And anytime, I'm off to bed now anyways so no rush.

 

Thanks for the help!

@Stumble Here´s my config. While it works perfectly for me, you might wanna edit it, make sure you do the calibration in any case!

Edit: you need to put it in your documents folder -> opentrack

If it's any consolation, Track IR isn't a huge amount of fun to use either.

How exactly are you meant to do the calibration? Do I just move my head around to the maximum positions and it'll automatically do it for me?

Pretty much yes, read the instruction, make sure you have all the measurement's of your lights put in the boxes. the distance you are from the camera then do your calibrations.
