Hey guys, I recently picked up A-10C on the steam sale and it has been an awesome experience. After browsing the forums, I decided to try out FaceTrackNoIR. I got it to work too so im sure some of you will appreciate this little guide/info.
Here is the DL link for FaceTrackNoIR so you dont have to go back to the OP. :thumbup:

For Steam users:
Download FaceTrackNoIR from the website if you haven't done so already. Also get the update and follow the included instructions to install. You can also download the EWMA fix if you need it.
Next, Download the Eagle Dynamics API interface DLL 64Bit if you have 64bit Windows. You want to extract this to the DCS A-10C bin folder that is in the steam folder. That will look something like this if you have Windows 7 64bit.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dcs a-10c warthog\bin
If you go back and look in the bin folder, you should see the Headtracker folder. Then you will want to copy the provided A-10C ini file to the FaceTrack folder that contains the default profiles that came with FaceTrack.
Hopefully that clears up installation for the guys using the Steam version. If you jump into A-10C and facetrack is not working (no camera control at all), you will need to also download the headtracking demo from seeingMachines. It is free and easy to register and DL the demo. It seems that the facetrack install can leave out some needed runtime libraries that the demo will then install for you.

Other Notes:
If you have a 64bit OS, Steam should have downloaded the 64bit version of A-10C.
Sorry about the long post, but I hope it helps. If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them. I'm still new at this stuff, but I have had some success so far (and some failures). I'm still working on setting up a profile that I like, and so far I have found it to be too sensitive to my head movements. Some tweaking of the settings and curves should fix this.
I would also love to see some of the profiles that you guys have setup for FaceTrack.
