March 6, 20251 yr This really looks interesting. It offers turning your webcam into an eye tracker for a lot of games, including of course, MSFS. https://secure.simmarket.com/beam-eye-tracker-steam-version.phtml It's coming soon at SimMarket.

March 6, 20251 yr Old news, using Beam Eye Tracker for over a year now (sporadically). It works, but it is pretty much a fiddling around with settings until you get an acceptable result. TrackIR was waaaay easier to setup. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
March 6, 20251 yr Cheap. Easy to set. Follows both head movement and/or eye movement. Works well in dark environment (monitor lighting is sufficient).
March 6, 20251 yr Been using it for months. Just make sure you have sufficient lighting before configuration- makes a world of difference. Mario Di Lauro
March 6, 20251 yr Yeah that's not new it's been on Steam for ages, was decent when I tried the demo.

March 6, 20251 yr Well, I've been using EdTracker Pro since my TrackIR broke some 5 yrs ago, but I seldom use it with X-Plane or MSFS - it was mostly used with DCS and IL-2. The only big limitation of EdTracker Pro is that it isn't 6DOF, so, there's no longitudinal axis movement (getting closer / farther away from a given object). 1) I wonder if this Beam Eye Tracker does it? 2) Wonder if it works ok with X-Plane 12 ? EDIT: Regarding 1) the answer is YES!

March 6, 20251 yr I've been using it for about a year now and it works as described but fine tuning takes some time. And a second screen is needed to tweak it while flying. Sometimes I get frustrated with it and just turn it off and use my hat switch to pan around.

March 6, 20251 yr I've been using Tobii for around 2 years and it works well... but... Just of pure curiosity I bought El Gato Facecam Mk2 webcam and Beam Eye Tracker few days ago to compare them.
