Trackir Alternative

[Bandit]

I just had this site pointed out to me. It is for some software that allows you to use a webcam like the TrackIR product.

I don't know if it's any good but thought I'd share it with you all.
Freelook tool

I don't have a webcam so if anybody has tried it let us know if it's any good.

I have downloaded it and made some progress setting it up with IL2, I'll let you know how it goes. I am unsure that it's fully FS compatible though.

Looks very interesting, may be a viable alternative if it works with FS

another option, had this one working from the install, and it doesnt need a marker, it follows your head

Will be setting up this option, already have a good video cam that will act as the camera, have you had it running in FS2004?

After doing a google search found that there are several options out there similar to these.

Had hit & miss go with fs2004, as it doesnt support mouse look like fsx.

prolly have another go in a week or so when i finish shift cover

To make these programs work in FS2004, try using F1 view from www.flight1.com, this will allow mouse movement in virtual cockpit. Take a look at this link on the Voz forums for more discussion.

Would a really cheap web cam work for this? Like a really really cheap one:p

Web cam can be used, visit the site and you will find details for the camera specs.
