Darkreaver1980 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkreaver1980 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) 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) Edited February 17, 2009 by Darkreaver1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coder1024 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 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?

coder1024 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 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. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=40979 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.
