Anyone use Freetrack here? - fabianfred - 25.09.2009

I have just got it to work with my Win7 install.
What do i have to do to use it in il2?
Are there changes to the conf.ini or what.... and which version of the 6DOF mod do i use or should I turn it off?...using single point ATM

Using FreeTrack 2.2 with a custom made three-point TrackIR device on WinXp 64. I just installed FreeTrack , callibrated the device to my preferences and launched Il-2 - nothing to change, it automatically found the game.
Works with and without 6DoF (though I definately prefer the experience with the mod on). Hope this help!

I just got my FreeTrack running about a month ago. I did the same as Messer, I didn;t have to change anything in IL-2, is just worked. I use it with AAA UI1.1 mods. I do not think you get 6DOF with single point. With single point it will only give you side to side movement, I believe. You need 3 point for 6DOF. Maybe the 6DOF mod in IL-2 needs to have freetrack set for 6DOF?

One piece of advice for when you get it working in IL-2: the freetrack becomes the default "joystick" and your flight joystick will not work at first. So you need to manually re-assign all your joystick commands in the HOTAS settings (located bottom of the command list).

I just changed TrackIRuse=0 to 1 in conf.ini
It is Ok but jerky
How do I keep a full range of movement and smooth it down?
and make a dead zone in the centred position.

Perhaps i should try to have il2 and Freetrack running on different cores of my CPU.... but don't know how to achieve that..

Hi. Are you using the last software version ?

The moviment behavior depends on your webcam model.
I'll send to you my profile. I has some adjustments to birng movoments smooth and wide. I hope it works for you.
Pls send me your e-mail in PVT .

regards,

Fabian, to make less jerky try to set point view of led with GREEN FPS and JPS counter stable 28-30 fps ,to obtain this you HAVE TO DO:
1- SET AUTO EXPOSURE to NO (UNTIK the little square on the camera) AND value of exposure to 0-1 (very low)
2- put your CAMERA BRIGHTNESS very low + CONTRAST HIGH
3 - put a photo negative piece on the camera lens and if possible remove IR filter
4- move the threshold slide to left-right a bit with the hat on your head till you have STABLE the all three little point of your hat

- to have dead zone set a initial range of cuves almost 90

Fabian,

I use the single point also and find it more than adequate for playing IL2. If you send me your email I will send you my profile. I am using 2.1 and find it very smooth I think you will find you do not need a deadzone once you get used to it. BTW webcam is a microsoft 3000 and I used a kids led nitelight and swapped led for ir led, with my setup I have webcam mounted on headset and 110V nitelie mounted above monitor. I did remove the ir filter from camera and made a vivible light filter from an old floppy disc and other recommended changes posted at freetrack sight. I consistently get 28 to 30fps .

Here is a copy of my IL2 profile, you will most likely have to open one of the profile fgp files and delete and then add this and I said this is for 2.1 which works better for me than 2.2. If you need 2.1 I can email that to you also.
