FalconBMS not responding to my head motions???

[Salt]

So I finally got my LED head gear, camera, etc all hooked up. Freetrack showing a nice black screen with three round dots. I have to make some modifications and adjustments but its working.

My problem is that when I enter the game, its not seeing it. I move my head an nothing happens.

While waiting for my camera to show up in the mail, I had downloaded FaceTrackNoIR and was using it with just pure face tracking and it was working. It wasn’t smooth but it definitively was working.

Now I can’t get either piece of software to work within Falcon not matter if I use just face tracking or the led hat.

What did I mess up?

Have you set it up in the settings in BMS?

@razo:

Yes. just as shown in the screen grab above.

FacetrackNoIR was working with pure face tracking. Now nothing works.

Hm, this is just a wild guess (I can’t check my local setup right now), but if I remember correctly FTNoIR runs a fake “TrackIR.exe” process per default that some (usually really old) sims check for before the code enables head tracking. Maybe FreeTrack has a similar feature? MIght be worth a try.

EDIT: You could also try sticking with FTNoIR for now using its point tracker plugin.

It is now working using FaceTrackNoIR and the point tracker plug as suggested. In fact, I think I might like the facetrack better.
Thanks!

Glad you got it working, Salt. I may be mistaken but I think the majority of non-TrackIR users here favours FTNoIR over Freetrack, so chances are you might get better “support” from the FTNoIR community

All the best, Uwe

I do like the interface much better. Its giving me problems though as i can’t get my curves to save to the any.ini file. Tried making my own “MySettings.ini” but it won’t save any of my settings (curves). Then I tried saving my curves to the default.ini file and it will save my yaw curve but not the pitch up or pitch down.

EDIT: I figured it out. FaceTrackNoIR has to be run in administrator mode. Saves ini files fine now.
