Ok, that straightened out my crashing Username455. Still hasn't straightened out the problem with A-10C hanging when I try to go to the option screen. Anybody know the fix for that?

Good News Bad News So, good news, bad news. The face tracking software works, and tracks. However I am now having problems with DCS A-10c. The program loads fine, into the main screen. It however immediately crashes whenever I try to go fly, like say in Instant Action. If I try to go to options, it hangs on the loading screen, and will not go to the options screen.

Thanks for the clearing up. It hasn't been 2 months, but more like half a day. I've been flying in DCS A-10 for about 2 months. Big difference. I'll take a shot at your suggestion, and let you know how it goes. :) Running an Intel i5 dual core, and yes I checked the known issues. Didn't help me much.

Confused So, after reading 30 pages of this thread, my head is abuzz with all the things mentioned, and I can no longer make sense of what has become an incomprehensible mess. Today, I bought a Microsoft LifeCam HD 5000 (great cam btw!) which is listed on FaceTrackNoIR's website as being compatible with their software. I made sure to get the latest firmware and software updates for the cam. I then downloaded the FaceTrackNoIR 1.3 version. Installed it. Downloaded the other updates, and installed them. I also grabbed the 64-bit API for A-10c and followed the directions for it. I go to fire up FaceTrack, and it is a no go. I get the very unfriendly waterfall message, and the subsequent message after, included in attachments. So, I decide to see if the demo from the Seeing Machines site works, but it provided the same unfriendly messages. Supposedly, the FaceTrack program should be working first go, especially with the DCS A-10 API installed, first blush. This is apparently an ugly lie, or I missed something. I decided to start over, and wiped all the previous progress out. I downloaded FaceTrack ver 1.3 and installed that only (with admin rights). Installed fine. However it still provided the previous message. This leads me to believe I'm an idiot, even though I never have this much trouble installing anything. The manual is less than helpful. There is no troubleshooting for this issue on the site. The information I found within the thread I have since lost, and was dealing with things before the API release. So, can somebody give a step-by-step rundown of the current, up-to-date, process? Starting from zero, with nothing but the original camera software installed. Must be for Win 7 64 Bit Home Premium. I'm tired of trying to sort the useful information from all the calcophony of noise. I was hoping to go this route to make my time flying in DCS A-10c better, and more enjoyable, and I've held off doing anything more than lurking on these forums for the last two months. At this time, I'm stuck. My head hurts, and I can hardly tell up from down in all the mess. :helpsmilie:
