Scooby Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Could somebody give me a step by step guide as to how to get FreeTrack v2.2 working with DCS A-10C v1.0.0.9 on a Vista 32bit install. I have followed a number of posts in these forums with no success. I have copied the "headtracker" bin files into my DCS bin dir and have run the TrackIRFixer, but not sure if it is working. It just sits there saying... "Seaching for running TrackIR games" Then when I load the game it says... "Detected DCS: A-10C (32bit)(dcs.exe)" FreeTrack is working nicely and have had it tracking in another flight sim that supports TrackIR. What am I doing wrong? Please help. :helpsmilie:
spikenet Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I can tell you how I got it working in facetrackernoir. I put the 32bit dcs files in hte bin folder inside the headtracker folder (create it if it doesnt exist) then just use the freetrack protocol in your tracking program. You shouldnd need to run TrackIRFixer.
Scooby Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks for the response Spikenet. Could you elaborate on which 32bit dcs files I need. I have created a "headtracker" folder inside my DCS A-10C\bin folder ie DCS A-10C\bin\headtracker What files do I need to put in this folder? I have put the "Eagle Dynamics API interface DLL's" from the facetracknoir website in my bin\headtracker folder. Is there anything I need to do in the DCS A-10C options menu from within the game? Thanks
spikenet Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 yes the ac10 files from facetracknoir website. Sounds like you are putting them in the right place. Nothing else needs doing apart from setup your freetrack software. try starting a couple of instant missions, maybe it needs to initialize the headtracker.dll ?? cheers
Boulund Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Try running everything as administrator?

Scooby Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 OK, here are the files in my DCS A-10C\bin\headtracker folder... HeadTrackerDll.ccp HeadTrackerDll.h HeadTrackerDll.vcproj I am running everything as Administrator Still not working.
Scooby Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Great News I now have it working. Turns out I had the wrong files in my \bin\headtracker folder. DOH! All sorted. Thanks for the help guys : )
Scooby Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Here are the files to put in your DCS A-10C\bin\headtracker folder if anyone else is having problems. I can confirm that these works with both FaceTrackNoIR and FreeTrack. :thumbup:32bit_headtracker_ED.zip
