First i used Creative Webcam Pro

Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 works like a charm.
-Cost about $50 Canadian -30fps @640x480 -I'm using 3mm 1.6V 50mA IR LEDs and didn't need to take out the IR filter. I don't even use a visible light filter for that matter! Just turned off the auto-exposure and put it in outdoors mode. Just need to make sure the blinds are closed in the day time(which they usually are) and it's perfect. 6 degrees of freedom baby!  |

"Dell Laptop Integrated Webcam" on a Dell XPS M1730 laptop:
Works after a lot of tweaking. Auto-Exposure can not be disabled. I did not remove any IR filter. I used white superbright LED's (3point clip) with the tops flattened. Not the best conditions, but it did work using the following: The ambient lightning in the room has to be sufficient for the auto-exposure to run the camera in 25fps, but of course, but without having any "overexposed" pure white parts that freetrack tries to track. In FreeTrack's Camera Properties, turn brightness, gamma, sharpness, color and backlight compensation all the way down. White balance set to 2800 (this is important), contrast to 33. Freetrack now has no problem tracking the LED's @ 25FPS The Z translation is extremely sensitive within Flight Simulator X.. with default settings, I z-translate 10m with the slightest head movement. A major problem within Flight Simulator X was a very, very annoying head tracking delay, which was not apparent in the 3D preview within freetrack. The problem was a lot worse when running FS X fullscreen compared to windowed mode. Changing Global->Interpolation->Webcam FPS to a erroneous value of 50 (actual FPS: 25) solved the problem. I also use 0 in "Extra Frames", not yet sure if that matters. I doubt the above problem is specific to my configuration, and maybe not even specific to FS X ? Maybe that should be put in a FAQ? Program authors: EXCELLENT work! |

Speedlink Square Webcam, 100k Pixel SL-6810 works quite well.
-low prize (~12€ in Germany) -relatively easy to remove IR-filter: First unscrew the lens cylinder. Then remove the glued ring at the front (pluged, not screwed) from the lens cylinder. Finally push out the inner cylinder from the rear, and off goes the IR-filter. -I420 -30 fps up to 640x480 (only when exposure manualy set to 0 and auto exposure enabled *g*) -relative high cpu consumption (dual core cpu recommended if you also want to play a game ) |
