Hi, apologies if this has been answered before-I couldn't locate any answers myself.

I was wondering if it is possible to use the Freetrack software, my Sanwa Supply 30fps webcam and a purchased TrackIR Trackclip Pro to use with FSX?

I have no idea about electronics/construction of freetrack tracking device, but I am prepared to pay 50-60 bucks for the Trackclip Pro if it will work with Freetrack software.

Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks

BC

Hi there,

Just a FYI, I am using M$ VX-1000 webcam, freetrack software and an "official" trackIR pro clip.

It works beautifully, and though it costs a little more than making your own 3-led clip, it is still a fairly affordable mix (compared with getting the track-ir pro "webcam"), and perhaps best of all, it has a usb connection so no need for recharging batteries etc. =]


~edit~
I should have searched, but then, so should you. =]

Thanks very much for your reply and info! I did do a search, obviously I screwed something up! Sorry but thanks again for the help!

I've ordered my webcam (I also am going with the vx-1000) and track clip, can't wait to have a crack at it now!

Thanks Ceud.  I just ordered the VX-1000 and the Track Clip Pro.  Did you modify the webcam like in Viper3two's video?

I actually used tankbusters guide for IR filter removal and replaced with 2 small pieces of film negative.

I presume those are the modifications you are talking about?

I have not made any further modifications to the webcam, though I do have to reset the auto-exposure settings each time I start up Free-Track.
