Amazing Discovery!

[Darkreaver1980]

You can now get TrackIR for just 14,99 US$.

 

All you need is a cap and some paper + a black pen or better a printer!

 

www.cachya.com it uses a programm to track your cap with a symbol on it. I already tryd Track IR at a friend and wanted to buy one but its damn expensive, 190US$!

 

Today i tryd the cute little programm from cachya and it works just as great as track ir. ok, i needed allmost 3 hours (no kidding) to set it up perflecty but now it works flawless...its just amazing...i. can look in all directions/zoom, pan my view...and lots more!

 

Try out the demo if you dont believe me

 

Sorry if write like its the best programm ever but it IS great! :D

yes, but you need lots of stuff to do it and its hard to setup + cost way more money

Has anyone tried this yet and what are the frame rates it is giving?

Humm only cost me $12 for the free track already had the webcam. ANd only took me about 1 hour to set it up for BS. And just for your info the 12v batery I used lasted over a year befor dying off. :D

I get 35 FPS without cachya und 30-31 fps with cachya, so its pretty light on resources.

 

I only get 8-15 fps in freetrack while i get 30-50 fps with cachya (webcam fps)

 

The biggest advantage is that you DONT need to buy anything for cachya...all you need is a paper + black pen. With freetrack, you have to build your device with IR LED and i cant do that stuff.

 

Again, you get an perfect working 6DOF in any game just by making a simple papersign.

 

If you have questions or want help setting it up than contact me via MSN or ICQ (on profile page)

They have a beta...?

I just bought cachya and spent some time configuring it and I have to say I'm extremely impressed so far. I tried freetrack and fiddling with wiring up my own LED assembly and all, it ended up being a royal pain and I never did get it working. With cachya, I printed out the tracking image, put it on a cap and it was almost immediately working. Then I spent some time tweaking things of course, but still cachya seems like a FAR better solution than freetrack and certainly a lot better than paying $150 for TrackIR.

 

Anyway, having said all that, I have cachya working fine in the cachya app with the preview window and the sample 3D test. But now I'm wondering, what exactly do I do to make this work in DCS Black Shark? If this is obvious, I apologize for being a noob :) But I'm not sure what the missing piece is to actually let me feed the 6DOF data from cachya into DCS Black Shark.

 

Any tips?

I think I have the info I need to get cachya working with DCS Black Shark. See the below thread if you're stuck as well.

The basic idea is to enable the virtual joystick in cachya and then configure the view control in DCS to use the axis from that virtual joystick.
