April 3, 20242 yr Has anyone seen an ad for a new eye/head tracker for the sim? It popped up in my Facebook, but now I cant find it. It uses any type of camara you may have on your monitor already and is very inexpensive. Anyone have a link to it? Thanks
April 3, 20242 yr Is there a chance you mean Tobii Eye Tracker 5 but I won't consider it new, so maybe you mean something else?

April 3, 20242 yr If you have a webcam gathering dust somewhere, this might interest you: Have not tried it so I can't say for certain that it works well but it looks quite interesting.

April 3, 20242 yr I was using a webcam with the freeware apps AITrack and OpenTrack. It was OK but I was never totally happy with it - calibration seemed to drift and I found myself constantly having to hit the re-center button. This morning I came across a Beam Eye Tracker video by OverkillSimulations and decided to give it a try. Works like a charm and well worth the 30 bucks IMO.

April 3, 20242 yr Anybody else tried this thing. Spent a fortune on TrackIR but I to find myself hitting the re center button. Bean eye tracker. Seems a little hard to believe it works better then trackIR or Tobii Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
April 3, 20242 yr I'm going to give it a try. My TrackIR is almost 14 years old and nothing lasts forever. I've tried Tobii twice and just didn't care for it so I returned it. Let's see what this can do.
April 4, 20242 yr I used a TrackIR for a while a few years ago and gave up on it. Recently I also tried the Tobii and ended up sending it back for a refund. So far, and its only been a day, I'm liking the Beam Eye Tracker a lot and really looking forward to hearing what others think.

April 4, 20242 yr I tried Beam eye tracker with another (driving) sim, out of the box and with no tweaking it seems to work fine, I believe it can only get better with a deep dive into it and Opentrack's settings to do some fine tuning. The fact that the are giving out a free 2 hour or 14 day demo is absolute marketing genius, if you have a webcam then there's literally no reason to not give it a go if you are at all interested. Unrelated - that Overkill guy on youtube certainly lives up to his name - I got 8+ minutes into that video before he even started getting down to the nuts and bolts of what I thought the video was meant to be about. Dude - get to the point already. 😵 Edited April 4, 20242 yr by verbal i9-13900K | 6400MHz DDR5 (32GB) | GeForce RTX 4090 24GB MSFS 2024 | PMDG 777-300ER | FBW A380X | Fenix A320 | ini A350
April 4, 20242 yr There seems to be an issue with MSFS at the moment (SU15 beta) where the centered eye position drifts; I have to keep re-centering it. (Press F12 twice - Tobii 5). Not sure if it is happening with all eye trackers like the TrackIR also. No major drama, but it never happened before. I think the eye position is drifting up a little each time you come back from external view. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

April 4, 20242 yr Tried it yesterday. It is much better the other freeway solution. very smooth and sensitive. The range at which I can turn my head is better that TrackIR. But... the small latency makes me nauseous. Maybe that I would have to get used to it. But, if you don't have a Trackir, $30 is a no brainer as it is now.

I tried it with my 720 and it was a bit laggy so have the 4K cam coming today... Edited April 4, 20242 yr by psolk Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
April 4, 20242 yr Looks pretty good and something to finally replace my TrackIR. If anyone uses it on a large screen TV, lmk how it works. Eric
