Hi I just Build my own Kit with 3 infrared leds with 27 degrees of angle.
Its a 3 point clip and a Labtec 2200 web cam wich i removed the filter

I flat the Leds to increase the angle but im still having some promlems getting 3 green lights, after a few minutes playing with the setting I can mantain almost 3 green lights except when turning my head right down or left down... anyway im still getting a nice game experience.

My Problem is when activating the Zoom option. I downloaded the latest version (i think) and when starting FSX and I turn left, it zooms in and when I turn Right it zooms out. I tried another game, Battle of Britain II and the same happened (a little bit less zooming)

I was also having problems with acsesing my camera setting so I downloaded the 2.1 version. Now I have full acces to my camera settings but still the same Zooming In/out.

Is this a problem with my 3 point clip, should I try building a 3 point cap?? is it better??  The measures of my clip are ass follows.. (as shown in the setup page, numbers from top to last)
63mm
54mm
84mm
85mm
and Im at a distance approx 1 meter to my camera

I also had that with my first clip.

Maybe this will help: http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=1856&page=3#12668

It's about the distance of the middle led of your clip to the pivot (the center point of your head).

adjust the values in the model tab, some values can be negative! Try to adjust while you have move your head and watch the skull.
