    Does anyone know how and have the time to help me out?
    I worked on it for about 25 minutes which ended up with me breaking things afterwards in frustration..... (thats another story)
    If anyone knows how to set this up, I finally got a working webcam and would like to get it running before I become too damned old and slow to play this game.

    Thanks

    It's called FreeTrackNoIR

    I gave you the link to a YouTube video last night Ajax, did it help at all?

    This is it right here


    This guy walks you through the whole thing step by step.

    Download
    http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/information_links/download.htm

    and

    http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06-support/support-download-software-and-manuals.html

    You than copy the .dll file from TrackIR to your FreeTrackNoIR directory just like he says in the video.

    From there on its pretty easy. He will walk you through the curves and how to set them up, once you mess around with them for a bit, you will be able to figure it out and adjust curves to your liking later when you start flying.

    When everything is set and done, make sure that you start your FreeTrackIR before you start War Thunder.
    You also going to need a good amount of light on your face so the camera tracks it correctly.

    I hope this helps.

    I just pulled the trigger for a PS3 Eye since it's one of the few cheap webcams that operates at 120 fps, and it designed more for gaming, movement tracking, and stuff. And being a cheap ass it's gonna cost me only $22 from Amazon with the mounting clip. I'll let y'all know how it turns out when I get it next week.
