#Flightgear trackir code#
It can emulate a pointing device, so it would at least be able to provide basic head tracking, but if it can emulate an actual directinput device with the whole six degrees of freedom then it's just a matter of creating a joystick file for it and the accessory nasal code functions to move the camera.

I believe it should be possible to use Freetrack on Windows (, free, but not GPL) but they don't list Flightgear in their supported titles. I believe it might even be possible to fork linux-track to remove dependencies on the X-Plane SDK, since it is only really needed to communicate with X-Plane itself. I have experimented with head tracking in Flightgear using a wiimote, Linux-track and a homemade four points IR clip, and the tracking was fast and effective. However, linux-track makes use of the X-Plane SDK, which might not be entirely compatible with the GPL, because it was originally only meant to add TrackIR support to X-plane under Linux. with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry.įlightgear does already support head tracking, of sorts, via the linux-track project ( ) med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen > Flightgear, but also other means of head movement tracking. > I am very interested in everyone's opinions, not just for Kinect with After all, head tracking is one of the most > development is willing to consider using the Kinect for the head > Which makes me wonder if anyone in the Flightgear core I dunno these guys, but they too discuss this,Īnd I'm gone flying on the fjord ice. or hacked in from FG compatible GPLv2-and-later code: can be done externally with a webcamera and GPLv3 code: but how is it more powerful?
