homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Battle of Britain + Battle of Britain II FaceTrackNoir?

Anyone tried this with Bob2?
It's a TrackIR equivalent that uses face tracking rather than headgear.
Whilst it works well with other sims, with Bob2 the viewpoint immediately swivels to looking vertically down at the pilot seat.
No head movement is recognised.
Possibly Bob2 is interpreting the centre position as max-left + max-down - blocking the webcam causes the view to revert to centre so its 'working'.

Same results in 2.09 and 2.11.

I'll post at A2A when I can login - using what should be the correct password but immediately rejected with too many logins etc etc.
Have asked for new password, but cant get at it until tonight.

Cheers,

Not my case, I can have a 75 % satisfaction with it ...just that I cannot correctly stabilize the centre view without having too much inertia due to a too large deadzone.

Here's my profile based off settings I found at the riseofflight.com forum (theres quite a nice guide with screenshots over there):

Thanks guys.
Turns out the problem was solved by a patch to FTN 1.5 that is on the website.
Described as curing flickering, it actually makes it work for BoB 2.
Using your profile Mac,

Found out last night that you can adjust the sensitivity - helps with preventing moving your actual head too much to get large movements of your virtual head:

[Tracking]
Smooth=1
sensYaw=152
sensPitch=58
sensRoll=148
sensX=110
sensY=177
sensZ=242
NeutralZone=3
invertYaw=false
invertPitch=true
invertRoll=true
invertX=true
invertY=false
invertZ=false
useEWMA=true
redYaw=50
redPitch=50
redRoll=50
redX=80
redY=80
redZ=80
minSmooth=15
powCurve=10
maxSmooth=50

Thanks,

the profile you provided to is quite functionnal .The center position is quite fixed now but the little lag when I get out from it is a bit annoying when scanning the sky every 10 seconds.

What I havent figured out yet is how to centre the view if I've moved around in my seat. With trackir I simply looked deadcentre and pressed a key. The centre function doesnt seem to work the same way with facetrack. Any Ideas?

Options - keyboard shortcuts-

then, to have a steadier forward view, you have to increase the deadzone as in the profile you provided us, the deadzone is set at 0.
