I don't have a webcam on my FSX machine but realised I can try it on this setup. I have FSX on this PC too, so that I can use progs that come with installers, then move them across to the FSX setup, with no risk of its Registry being contaminated.


At first the No Track prog wouldn't boot up, saying there was a .dll missing. Looking through the unzipped downloads I spotted there is a second prog to be installed.

With that done it booted up and, with the upgrade having been installed, FSX was one of the file options. After that I realised the START button must be there for some reason, so pushed it and the webcam's blue light came on. Moving my head produced a view of the VC Cockpit; pity because the THTG setup on the FSX machine means Tom, John and I are confined, in my case choose, to using 2D panels.

Perhaps it will adjust for THTG but, with just one monitor, the first slight snag is that the view, as I stare at the monitor, is what I would see looking over my right shoulder. Not flyable but I must be missing something?

    If you have a webcam setup, this will pan the screen by recognising
    face movement.


    Seems cheap for £10
