On reflection, I'm not sure I could use any sort of tracker, with my setup. Apart from the three THTG scenery monitors I have two beneath them, displaying the instrument panel and my moving map display. Add to that the fact that five of my GF units are now built into a pedestal, to the right of the rudder pedals, and I spend a lot of time moving my head. I guess this would result in an almost continuously moving outside view. First try last night had me wondering whether it might, anyway bring on motion sickness?
FSX with a paper bag alongside; there's posh! Gerry Winskill On 14/01/2011 21:27, Phil Reynolds wrote:
Had a quick look earlier using FS9 before relatives turned up, so literally installed and started up with the default settings. In the few minutes I had the results were encouraging with movement fairly fluid and fairly accurate. It did occasionally mess up and look straight down which resulted in an automatic reset (the software resets the FS view to straight forward and recommences scanning your face). In sure with some tweaking of settings I'll be able to get things better, I'll report back when I have more time to do so...

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? Gerry Winskill On 14/01/2011 10:04, Phil Reynolds wrote: Looks really good. I'll be testing this tonight with my webcam, thanks for the heads-up (and down, left, right, etc !!!)
