I really like the concept and have bought the application. What i think should really be incorporated to make it more useful is for the program to come with its own frame rate limiter. As sure all are aware ,The inbuilt FSX frame rate limiter is rather buggy and drops performance significantly when you finally have some performance to spare! and the limiter is turned on. Also if you can add a more aggressive graphics drop mode that starts dropping things even further when the frame rate is dropped below the minimum set. As in a mode to prioritize frame rates over graphics in an extreme way. It was already stated by the developer that the program is able to do so but was decided to be left out.

Dear All, What i have in mind is to have two good quality airports within 200-300 nm from each other with a scenic route between them .I will confine my sim world between these two airports with this kind of distance fit for most aircraft types,either from or to. I have Flytampa Dubai which is amazing in every sense since it has it's own city ! but unfortunately there are no airports nearby on par in terms of quality or performance. I would happily take suggestion of new airport couples that fits the criteria,scenic route is a big plus!

sounds really interesting! i downloaded V 1.5 (couldn't find the beta 1.6, or i guess it needs some donation) but couldn't get it to work.. i set the game protocol to Fake trackir (to get it to work with ezca) ..it managed to get a hold and track my face, but output in fsx seemed stationary (i can tell the program is connected to ezca as the screen positioned it self in a strange skewed view behind the default 737's captain's seat) but never seemed to translate my movement ...also the cam FPS seems rather low, couldn't get it past 10 FPS.. if i use simconnect output there seems some kind of conflict with EZCA..I know it's EZCA compatible (says so on the features list) ,but can't get it working... yet..looks like I have some researching to do :) Marwan

Hello Ryanyeah i know it's not something new, but lots of people miss out on such nice things..so hopefully it'll get the attention of someone who never heard of it.. or perhaps heard but never tried...my point is.. the aura around this thing should have been bigger :) i've been browsing avsim almost daily for the past year and a half.. never did it seem to me that freetrack was used as a wide spread.. reference was always made to TrackIR.. but rarely to it's freeware alternative..

Amazing how simple it is isn't it !

it's a freeware program,in the same sense of Trackir clip pro , using a camera and three lights.. the program can track your head movements and translate them to FSX (or fs2004) Via simconnect.. or trackir interface emulation. http://www.free-track.net/english/ I knew about this program years ago.. managed to build the device once, but never really used it more than once due to my low build quality back then.. it was simply un-reliable...and i couldn't manage to get my head around setting it up... some days ago i decided to re-build the device using some new techniques i learned...soldering is the most prominent of them all, now i made a solid device that could take some beating.. powered by a usb cable.. with infrared LEDs ... actually it was extremely easy.. only 3 hours of work, and about 5 dollars worth of material (Leds ,resistors & Cables,already had the solder and webcam) i was pleased to know that it integrates seamlessly with EZCA , as it emulates trackIR's output .. and the result is a wonderful experience... this is a very quick video i made during testing : bottom line, it's really worth it...

can you please elaborate on how to use it with ENB?i didn;t quiet get the translation, but it seems it uses it's own module apart from the ENB one

you can open EZCA configurator.exe... you'll find an "options" Tab in the top left corner ,then press "registery components", this should re register ezca in exe.xml... also press " configure fsx" afterwards Marwan

Just copy the section labelled [contact points] from Airbus X's CFG file over to the wilco's CFG , over-write wilco's entries.Best Regards

Amazing all purpose program , routing,fuel planning(it also loads the suggested fuel to your aircraft!),weather forecasting and engine,option to choose aircraft state (easy cold and dark) even pilot performance assessment .. also i've noticed that it uses aircrafts in your inventory to populate the route with AI traffic (may be not the best option in the world, frame rate wise i mean, but you have total control over that aspect)<br />i also like how the flight briefing can be found in the Fsx knee board,with every thing you need for your flight... this means that no juggling between programs is required..which is fantastic especially if you like running FSX in full screen..Its all what you need for a preflight...lovely concept indeed... will be buying a license soon..EDIT: it seems that fuel calculations are off ,a 525 nm flight from EGFF to LFBP in a 757-200 (CS) required 68000 LBs (as per the programs calculations) wich is 90% of the full fuel load of the 757 ,<br />of course these calculations are highly incorrect..they exceed the calculations of the aircrafts FMC by 48000 (only 20000 LBs is needed for that trip, accounting for 10,000 LBs of reserve) so maybe fuel calculation is not one of its shining points...EDIT2: i was reading the generated flight briefing report and these lines came to my attention :"Fuel Calculation: Disabled; registered copy only395 KTAS = Approximately 245 KIAS @ 29000 ft"so it seem that the calculatins are actually disabled,thats why they felt so inaccurate :D
