  1. Hi, After the initial success with the 1.6 FTN software and Sony PS3EYE I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the XBOX Kinect. There is a driver of sorts for the Kinect to run with WIN7. What i am wondering is, will the Kinect with its array of sensors provide a more accurate head movement capture? Although we are limited to 32bit for the DCS productions whilst using this sort of technology for now, I can honestly say that using a core i5 processor the performance is above and beyond anything that you could remotely refer to as poor and there for negates the need for 64bit performance when it comes to usage of RAM. Can someone list the all the Pro's for using 64bit over 32bit (DCS SPECIFIC) because I can no longer remember. cheers
  2. Hi, I have just installed FTN on my kids computer to give it try against the TrackiR and before I drop 100+ bucks on a new Tri5. The bonus here was if it did not work to well the camera could be used for the SONY PS3 game consol. At a cost of 39 bucks for the camera and a small donation for the 1.6 release of FTN I have it up and running for fewer than 60 bucks. I am running it with a SONY PS3eye using TrackiRfix in both Black Shark and DCS A10 albeit only with 32bit (x86) mode (Although PC runs 64bit). Although i have a TrackiR and use this on my main PC in 64bit I am seriously considering moving back to using 32bit because this latest release of FTN blew me away. It runs VERY Smooth no jitter and is as good as if not better than the TrackiR in performance and of course having no crap strapped to your head makes it absolutely outstanding. It uses around 130meg RAM and CPU cycles are 10-18% but with the core i5 2500k (Not over clocked yet) and a GTX570 the puter is still pulling 65+ FPS on average with the occasional drop down to 40FPS and a high of 90+ with all settings on max including heat blur. The set up was very simple Down Load CL Eye Driver 4.0.2.1017 and Install Plug in PS3eye Install Latest face Tracking API from Seeing Machines Install Facetrack Noir v130 Patch v130 with 1.5 (copy and paste overwrite) Bug Fix for 1.5 (copy paste overwrite) Patch over 1.6 (copy and paste overwrite) Execute TrackiRFixer for both DCS A10 and Black Shark No hassle no issues and both games worked right off the bat. The only tricky part was calibrating the curves and the transitions to get it just right. This took me about 45 minutes and 3 beers. I say hats off to the gentleman who has put the time and effort into this as free ware. I think it’s totally unfair to have the software blocked from running in the 64bit version just because Natural Point wants to monopolize the game for them. The petition idea is the way to go so I suggest everyone get signing or we will just end up paying Natural Point 300 bucks for the same thing in 12 months time once they get off their butts and build a product. This type of technology has been available to us for some time now and NP should have taken up the challenge.
