If you were really searching for "iWorthog", this is the reason why there were no results. The correct name is "iWarthog" ;)

I'm not entirely sure, but I think this is connected to the VSync option being off in the sim options. Can anyone confirm/disprove this idea?

I finally bought one this weekend am and thrilled. Have fun with it! :thumbup:

In Addition to what Boulund already wrote, you can follow this popular thread to receive further instructions about the wiring of three IR-diodes : http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=1856 This is probably the easiest way to assemble the Point Model, which I followed a few days ago with little experience in soldering. The parts set me back 8€ (not including the solder machine or wires). After getting the hang of the FreeTrack software, it works really stable. I'm using a Logitech C270. Although the camera alone - without modification - works very well, I attached with an extra IR-Filter I had for my photo camera to remove the visible light , this adds additional robustness to the tracking.

@Fishbot: In the menu, you can set several hotkeys (tracker toggle, view center, reset, axes inhibitor) - You need to enable them first (and set a hotkey). I have set mine to ctrl+alt+a for view reset, shift+alt+a for tracker toggle. @Username455: I really only followed the readme: 1) extracted the contents to bin/ of DCS folder 2) fired up FTNOIR, loaded DCS.ini profile from the bin folder 3) confirmed that tracking works, the dropdown menu on the right should read FreeTrack 4) Started DCS -> quick mission Once the mission had loaded, the head tracker was on and running smoothly. I quit and reloaded the mission, then played through it and landed after success - with no crashes at all.

I used the version of V4Friend in 64Bit and experienced no crashes at all. (Windows 7 Professional 64Bit, DCS-A10c 1.1.0.8 ).

Do you have any suggestions on webcams for FreeTrack? Many models on their page are no longer available and I would like to try it out, but am unsure which webcam is compatible.

This works great! I had to slightly alter the curves setup and removed the roll rotation (not needed for me), and it works smoothly and stable under 64bit!! :) Already donated to your project about 1,5 weeks ago and If it continues to work that good, I shall donate some more.

I had a short look into the SDK examples and as Mnemonic (and the website) states Head tracking/rotation is currently not supported. I'm waiting for a new, improved version of the SDK. It would however be possible to incorporate the Kinect Depth Sensor with the existing regular video (= webcam) head tracking options such as FaceTrackNOIR. It would at least improve depth movement. Note that the Kinect requires a minimal distance of 50cm for the IR sensor to receive data from the emitter rays.
