It has plenty of input sources which include Oculus, Valve VR, IR Cameras, Point trackers andвЂ¦ Aruco Paper Tracker! OpenTrack is the only one of this list which doesnвЂ™t include facetracking option.

Unfortunately, like viewtracker, it consumed a lot of CPU as wellвЂ¦ and I still needed a 2nd program to do the rest of the work. The facetracking algorithm was very good (I think viewtracker-good), but it tended to be more jumpy if I looked sideways too much. Unfortunately, the facetracking was not as good for me, or maybe it was the light againвЂ¦.ДЄITrack is a tool exclusively to track your face and send data via UDP to another program. It then communicates via UDP to FaceTrackNoIR which translates the data to 3d movement. This is where I decided to try FacePoseApp.ДЇacePoseApp is installed in your smartphone and uses the smartphone camera to track the face, so your CPU is spared of the work. The other issue is that it tends to crash a lot. I noticed that the facetracking algorithm didnвЂ™t play well in darker lighting or too bright, which is a problem in the place where IвЂ™m sitting. The facetracking was pretty good for a free product and CPU usage about half of ViewTracker. It gives you plenty of flexibility in configuring different sources and outputs (you can even combine 2 sources at the same time). But it had one big disadvantage: very high CPU usage (around 17%), which is not a good idea along side FS2020.ДЇaceTrackNoIR seems to be one of the most famous free alternatives. The headtracking is probably one of the best of whole lot.

ViewTracker was the first one and although itвЂ™s not free, its quite affordable (12$ or so), but luckily there is a free 7-day trial to make sure it works for you. Most of these options allow you to use different input sources. So I spent the last week just trying out different alternatives and decided to write a short blog post to summarize my findings, in case they are useful for people who might want to try this as well. Of course everyone knows TrackIR, which uses a special camera and gear to detect head movements with great precision regardless of lighting conditions.Д«ut I was not prepared to spend 200$+ on one, especially considering I never tried it before. I finally thought it would be a good time to try it. It gets boring really fast if you constantly need to use the mouse to look around.Д®nter head-tracking. The downside of it, especially when using tail draggers, is that its really heard to do a flight purely by VFR when youвЂ™re limited to a relatively small screen. IвЂ™m loving the bush trips, and hope more will come soon!

So Flight Simulator 2020 is perfect because thereвЂ™s loads of detail and everything looks great!

My favorite way to play Flight Simulator(s) is by doing sightseeing, VFR trips.
