Hello Community

Could you please tell me, what kind of head motion tracker hardware is for the DCS recommended? I just need 2-3 names, so that I can choose better.
I would like to buy one.

Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Best regards
Csaba

For head tracking I've used open track for years with a PS3 camera and a home made led clip, cost was about a tenner in parts. Because my Sennheiser headset gave up the ghost and I've moved to some Jabra earbuds I no longer have anything on my head to mount the clip to.

In it's replacement I've set up the old Kinect 360 as a head tracker and it works pretty well. Not so good in low light and I could do with being a foot or so further way from it but it does what it says on the tin.

For VR, another reverb G2 although playing pancake now after a good VR setup is painful. Much prefer the 1:1 head movement in VR compared to the curves that you have to apply in trackir/opentrack.

You also might want to look into this head tracking option.  I tried it and it works just as well as the PS3 camera I was originally using.  The added benefit is that it cost under $30 for everything and does not require you to wear any IR transmitters on your head.

So back to this topic, because I bought the DelanClip. Additional info: I fly the MIG-21.

I calibrated everything, it works everything fine, but there is a strange behavior: if I turn my head to the right, I see very good back. I dont see the wing, but very good the edge of the window.

But if I turn my head to the left, I see unfortunately the ejection seat.... I dont see anything from that what is behind me. So I just see the seat...

I use the OpenTrack and I see there very clearly, that:

- there is no big change in the movement of the X axis if I turn my head to the right ( I can look nicely back.)
- but there is 2x big change in the X axis if I turn my head to the left >>> I think this causes, that I just see the seat and cannot look out of the window.

I wanted to make an offset on the X axis, but I dont find such an option.
Has somebody any hint?
