It's a known issue...pony up and donate for the v1.6 ;) http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/manual/knownissues.htm Ever heard of Kinect :music_whistling:

There is a bit of lag...I don't think there is a way to prevent it :(

Thanks for chiming in, I'm glad to hear it worked for you!

Before you start, I suggest you ensure your system is pretty fresh. I ran into major hold ups due to device driver & codec conflicts that existed on my system prior to starting. Part of troubleshooting lead me to reinstall Windows (which was long overdue anyhow). If you system has any issues, I'd suggest you figure those out before proceeding. My system specs (for the record): Intel i7 2600K @ 5.1GHz Asus Maximus IV Extreme P67 2x4GB G.Skill DDR3-1866 120GB Vertex 3 SSD & 500GB Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drive 3x GTX 580 in tri-SLI 2560x1600 Samsung 305T+ Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1 nVidia Forceware drivers 280.26 Logitech Webcam 9000Pro Saitek Cyborg Evo Force FFB joystick (FFB not working yet :joystick:) Download and install the faceAPI portion of the SeeingMachines headtracking Demo (after the 1st portion of installation when faceAPI finished, you can cancel the rest) Download and install the FaceTrackNoIR v130 program. Download the FaceTrackNoIR v150 update and extract the files to the FaceTrackNoIR directory overwriting the original files (I made a small donation to the FaceTrackNoIR author and he sent me the v160 update, I do not know if the v150 will work with my setup or not). Download the ED API interface x64 dll package and extracted the headtracker folder (with contents) into the game's "bin" directory. Next, start the FaceTrackNoIR program, and load the DCS_A10C.ini file (its in the headtracker folder you placed in the bin directory). Then select "faceAPI" under "Tracker Source" and select "Freetrack" under "Game protocol". Now press the "Start" button under the faceAPI option...your webcam image should be displayed on the left side and within a few seconds it should detect your face and highlight the tracked area in yellow as shown below. Next I spent a couple hours ALT-TAB'ing in and out of the game adjusting my curves until I found myself pretty happy with the following settings. Make sure you have decent lighting illuminating your face...indirect lighting is best, I made a video of my current settings so you can see it in action.

Hey TraumaBait. I've had all the same issues you've had including the problems with A-10C after getting face tracking working. The problem was with the "headtraker" folder I was supposed to add to the bin directory. I placed the files in it, but not the headtracker folder itself. After placing the files & headtracker folder into the bin directory and loaded the A-10C.ini file in facetrackernoir, everything started working just fine. I'm going to create a new thread with my steps A, B, C ;) (done)
