It's a bad idea to use a normal webcam as-is .. you need to remove their IR-filters first .. here they sell the webcam already modified: https://delanengineering.com/shop/PS3-Camera-IR-Filter-Removed-p50254011 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also use open track with the aruco tracker which is a printed code u attach to a hat or your headphones and it tracks the marker instead of your face.

Rudel_chw Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Actually facetracknoir tracks your face, not an IR clip, so it doesn’t need any modifications to the camera Tracking the face is too imprecise for reliable use with DCS .. I do use Facetracknoir, but with an IR clip: and on this video you can see the tracking precision and smoothnes: LKWApaTw9Ak true .. using the face may be cheaper, but it isnt really practical.

It works fine for me. I’ve been using it for years. You just have to set it up right. Not saying a clip isn’t more accurate- just saying it works fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
