Headtracking information

Thanks Bengan Might be better to try this and get back tomorrow because I have something in just under an hour which will tie me up for quite a while.

Well, I'll be here mate, just howl and I'll answer! :D

Hi Bengan Thanks to yours settings, after one or two little tweaks ETS2 and ATS now seem to be working absolutely fine. As you say it really is a game changer! Very many thanks for your help and advice, I will probably be back again if things start going wrong :D By the way out of interest I also tried out Dirt rally and X plane, neither seemed to work. but I guess they would have to be configured. Not really a problem as ETS2 and ATS are my main go to games. Thank you again for your help. :D

Glad you got it running ok. I can tell you that it will take some time to adjust to it,
reaching for the mouse every now and then, but when the time comes when you just
move your head to look at a certain object or view, just as in a regular car or truck,
then you're home buddy! It will feel totally natural for you then! Any question you have,
in this subject or another, just ask. If I can answer is another question, but I'll always
try! :D

Which version of Dirt Rally? I think today they releases Dirt Rally 2.0, that one works
they say without you having to change anything in your config of opentrack. Dirt Rally
1.0 also works with the same settings as for ETS2 and ATS! We'll solve that too later, if
you wish!

I have the original Dirt Rally. Can't afford the new one :D But that can wait for now I have lots of Truck hauling to catch up on first! :D :D We will have to work on Wombat to try this again, my pc has a much worse spec than his, so if I can run it surely he could?

[BenganJ]

Oh, he can run it, but he said last live, that he has a hardware problem with his USB system,
so that's why the camera will switch off every now and then. Maybe there's a fix for that, we'll
see later. Well, have some nice driving now then! See ya later on! :D

CHECK PM!

Hi Bengan I did go back into Dirt rally and realized as you say that it only works in cabin view. I have X plane 11 rather than 10 don't know if that makes any difference? I did get some lag on Dirt Rally. and stutter and low fps (previously been ok) on X plane. Mind you my PC is now 5 years old and the spec is not looking so good anymore :D

[BenganJ]

Well, as you saw in the videos, I don't have much of a lag or stuttering.
Can you give some of your computer specs here? i don't think it should
be any difference between XPlane 10 and 11, but I can test that too to
verify! Both those games is JUST like ETS2 or ATS, headtracking ONLY
works in "cabin" view, other views it's mouse if possible!

EDIT: Here's a short one on XPlane 11 Demo, no problem there either.
