**EDIT**
Those of you having trouble with it in DCS... Go to settings then Controls. Look for the TrackIR column (you might need to move over to the right depending on how many peripherals you have) there's a small down arrow in the tab, click it and make sure it's NOT disabled! Worked automatically for me but it seems some of you are having issues.

Not got round to trying this out yet, had to order a camera from Amazon. Threw my old one out a while ago. Knew i should have hung on to it 😊. Anyway, much appreciated and thanks for sharing part 2 also👍

I’m using the original Xbox Kinect for a webcam and it’s working great! Thank you so much for taking your time out of your day to make this video! I was lost until I found this! Literally copied your settings minus resolution, if I drop the camera resolution below 1900x1080 it crashed and my zoom isn’t as smooth as your but overall super happy about these results!

Great vids thanks. Hard to set up with telephone so tried the camera, and with your help it works well.

Everything is so jittery for me. No use what to do

Im having a bit of trouble with the diagonal movement when cornering... the combination of the two movements is tricky.

[skullreaper]

for me the red ball is too far ahead, how do i change that

[ErnestIsGaming]

Hey man what kind of webcam are you using? Do you think the frames of the webcam is essential for smoother tracking? Is 30fps not enough for competitive dogfighting?

[terrysharpe]

Great video, question? How do I get the software to be open while I’m in DCS sitting in the cockpit so I can make the final tweets? Thanks in advance

[Dcscockpit]

It works OK, but struggles turning to the side and looking up

[gaster]

i just want to use it as a mouse input how can i do that?

[DomAnt]

Hi, Thanks for the video ! Could you please tell me how to have the hud information when you turn the head on right and left side ?
Thks

[Dazza_Doo]

Much better!
If you was going to buy TrackIR why not Tobii ? is there some differences ?
Cheers

So everything works good for me except the "zoom" portion. when I'm sitting normally at my desk it puts me really far up in the cock pit and i cant see anything and i gotta lean back a lot. Ive tried moving my distance in AITrack it didn't work. Only fix i can find is just sitting a good half foot farther back. Any ideas on what to do? And one last thing i think its because of how high up my webcam is but looking straight on is making me look up a a little bit and its fine for a minute but anything longer my neck aches. Any ideas on a fix for that one aswell. Sorry for such a long reply.

i can´t open it says i have to download something from microsoft store

[BackTheBike]

I've just followed your superb instructions to install on XPlane 12, thanks It works, but the image shakes and trembles badly.
I have decent lighting and am using a decent spec Logitech webcam.
Any thoughts?

Hello, quick question, can you just upload the ini file with the settings that you use ?
