I am wondering if anyone using FSX has been able to use FaceTrackNoIR 1.4.I am able to use my Logitech C120 webcam and tried connecting to FSX with the SimConnect.ini but with no luck.I use Windows 7 64 bit.For anyone that is interested this is the place to go http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htmIt does the same sort of thing that TrackIR does but is FREE.Hope somebody can help but maybe it is not the correct type of Webcam I am using.regardsRichard

WOW, this looks good! There are videos from FSX so I guess it's supposed to work. Before I try this I'd like to hear from somebody who already tried this and is also using EZCA. I don't want to mess up something.

It works, yes, but wait for the update, which fixes a few things for FSX / FS2004, EZCA included...http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/news/news.htm

I was just about to buy TrackIR... well, if this really works that means that 200€ stays with me, almost unbelievable. I'll wait for EZCA implementation, though. Thanks for the info!

I had just started thinking about getting TrackIR as well, looks like I might end up looking for a cheapo webcam instead .. ..G

Richard,When you open FaceTrackNoIR, then select simconnect.ini under Files -> Open and then press the Start button in the Tracker Source group, does the camera image have a yellow wire outlining your eyes, nose and mouth? If so, then I think your webcam is working OK. I initially found it difficult to avoid losing the wire outline, and while this was happening I couldn't connect to FSX. I changed the position of the webcam (placed it under the screen and pointing upwards slightly, instead of resting on the top of the screen), and then adjusted the room lighting until the wire outline was consistently present, and since then I have found that it connects reliably to FSX.Dugald

Yes I do get the yellow wire outlining (so thats says that the cam is being picked OK does'nt it) but does not work with FSX for me anyway. What a shame.I have no idea what all the settings are so have not touched them.I shall try moving the webcam around to see if it works.Thank you for your help.regardsRichard

Looks like you need a reasonably light room for the webcam to work properly and sense the head movement. I've been experimenting with FaceNoir vs TrackIR. The jury is out so far but the convenience of using a cam is appealing - am sick of getting tied up by cables hanging off my headset!

I wonder if faster, more expensive webcams perform better. Anyone using an old, preferably crappy :( , webcam? And how´s it performing?Bjorn

I have the same question. I assume a HD level webcam will perform better? Or not?Bob.. :)

I just tried this with my PS3 eye cam. Works great on FSX although the stock settings are too sensitive. Will be playing more tomorrow.....(looking forward to the update too!)

Managed to get this working with an old DV video camera on a firewire port (I don't have a webcam) - seemed a little flakey to connect for the first time, then connected without changing any of the settings. As per the post above the stock settings seem a bit too sensitive - but it does work, even if it will take getting used to.The only real problem I have with it at this stage is that if you disable the facetracker via the hotkey you cannot use the normal methods of looking around the cockpit, which is a bit of pain trying to hit those switches.........G

Does this work with cheap webcam or do I need something more decent?

I finally picked up a webcam and tried this program out. It definitely has potential. The one problem I notice is that I have a little lag time between my movements and what happens on the screen. Does anyone have any settings that they like and would be willing to share?

I have been playing with the sliders but I'm not really sure it's having much effect.....probably a PBKM situation though!
