Getting started with Facetracknoir or Freetrack

[v81]

Hi ppl,

 

Have read around a little regarding the subject, and whilst i have found many posts i am still yet to find a post that gets me started.

I did have one of them installed, Freetrack i think it was, and it appeared to be working in the app, but in BS2 the display just seemed to scroll up non stop.

 

Can anyone point me to a beginners how to for free / low cost head tracking?

I have a PS3 eyecam installed and working, am yet to remove the IR filter.

I also have a HD logitech camera, but not sure of its frame rate.

 

Do any DCS config files need to be edited.

Are any plugins needed?

 

Thanks.

Hi. Did you search and read this: Consideration - Freetrack vs. FaceTrack NoIR and more

 

It's better search threads and continue on existing threads for getting the topics together.

Yes, I've read through that thread and whilst it contains vague information relevant to someone tuning their setup, I found it more of a comparison of the merits of each alternative than an actual how to.

 

I didn't want to derail it and thought an actual how to on free/low cost tracking deserved it's own thread.

 

Once I have something working I might throw some comments into the other thread.
