Can not get FaceTrackNoIR working with A-10!

[sgibson]

Hi,

 

I read and tried so much on this topic but I simply can not get it working.

 

What I tried so far:

 

• Downloaded and installed FaceTrackNoIR 1.5
  
• Downloaded Eagle Dynamics API DLL 64bit and placed it under DCS A-10C\bin\headtracker\HeadTracker.dll
  

 

FaceTrackNoIR Settings:

 

• Load Profile DCS_A10C.ini
  
• Tracker Source=Face API
  
• Game Protocol=Freetrack (also tried it with Fake TrackIR)
  

 

I start the game but the head tracking simply does not work. FaceTrackNoIR recognizes my head movements but in-game it does not work.

 

The DLL generates, as describe in the documentation, following file: C:\FTNoIR_ED_HeadTrackerLog.txt

 

initHeadTracker was called!
FileMapping was created :-).
requestHeadTrackerData was called (bYaw,bPitch,bRoll,bX,bY,bZ) = (1,1,1,1,1,1).

 

I also verified following setting in input.lua:

 

NewInput.setHeadTrackerDllPath('./bin/headtracker/headtracker.dll')

 

Has anyone an idea what else I could try or look into?

Hi sgibson,

 

It sounds like you installed everything fine. The logfile is written by the code in the DLL, so the DCS-part seems fine.

 

In FaceTrackNoIR, do you see your face, with yellow outlines and do the input-values (left bottom of window) change? If so, everything should be fine (indeed, you need 'faceAPI' as Tracker source and FreeTrack as 'Game protocol').

 

Someone in the other thread mentioned pressing ALT-c, to change from mouse-mode to headtracker-mode in DCS. Could you try?

 

Also, some users have advised to run both FaceTrackNoIR and DCS 'As Administrator'.

 

As for your other post: no, there is no debug-mode in FaceTrackNoIR (yet). It might be a nice addition (I discovered that while making the DLL for DCS :D)

Yes, Facetracking works!

Tried that one too. Actually also read somewhere to try CTRL + ALT + X and CTRL + ALT + Z

 

Also, some users have advised to run both FaceTrackNoIR and DCS 'As Administrator'.

 

Tried that too - no luck!

 

 

I though about reinstalling everything ... maybe that helps :lol:

Just for the record if someone reads this thread - IT WORKS NOW!!

 

I uninstalled everything (FreeTrack, FaceTrackNOIR and A-10) and reinstalled everything again.

 

As mentioned in several other Threads. It found it only works if both FaceTrackIR and A-10 are stared as Administrator (Run As Administrator) - even if the user is an Administrator for some reason.

I can't even get the C:\FTNoIR_ED_HeadTrackerLog.txt to show up :(
