I believe I have found my focal length on the internet, but the Logitech site says they cannot give out the sensor width for given webcams. So I was just wondering if it was also a legal issue for someone not starting a thread already for giving sensor width and focal lengths of webcam devices they are using either from documentation or trial & error? Is this issue the problem that is causing the sensitivity issue in FSX? Anyone have any thoughts on this topic? sf4JC

I really need my sensor width figured out, and have no idea how to come up with that on my own. Can this be done mathimatically? if I can even do that?! Just wondering what anyones thoughts are on starting a thread, stating something like... Webcam : in my case, the Logitech QuickCam IM Sensor Width : unknown by me Focal Length : from what I got at Logitech site 4.0mm Did I miss anything?

Example 914.4mm(36inches approx. guess of led movement) div. 240 mult. by 2 = 7.62mm. Focal length would be determined by multiplying sensor size (240pixels =1/4inch=6.35mm default for vx3000) by working distance. I use the distance from camera to leds for distance value.
