DCSFlightpanels VS FOXTracker

Not that hard actually, using mine for some time now. Get DCSFlightpanels and assing the keyboard bindings that you have in DCS to the swicthes.

See https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/DCSFlightpanels I don’t have this one just the ones for radio and autopilot. Together with DCSFlightpanels they work really good. I don‘t think you kam use them on their own (at least the two that I have) because they are not detected as Joystick or keyboard etc.

You can go one step further with DCS Flightpanels, which is made to integrate the various Logitech/Saitek panels into DCS (i.e. Radio showing the functions and frequencies selected in the aircraft).

There's a thing for that. https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/DCSFlightpanels

You'll need some kind of emulator as it isn't recognized as a plug and play joystick in the game. That's my only gripe with it - you have to assign a function in the game to a key and then assign one of the switches on the panel to be that key. I tried a bunch and the best and most simple one by far is https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/DCSFlightpanels.

You can download DCSFlightPanels for free, and it allows you to map the switches to keystrokes.

The switches work through DCS Flightpanel Which works like a DCS version of Spad.neXt

It’s not too difficult - just used the software DCS Flightpanels https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/DCSFlightpanels to set the switches to keybinds and then set them in DCS.

I see you're using AITrack. I had some issue with it in terms of tracking and I switched to FoxTracker. It works in the same fashion, check the settings though to switch the direct game control off.

I've been using FOXTracker for a while. I like it, and it works with opentrack just fine, but I do notice it uses around 300 MB of memory. Seeing how DCS is pretty memory intensive and sometimes crashes due to memory maxing out, I was wondering if FaceTrackNoIR was less memory intensive so as to leave me more wiggle room.

I'm using FOXtracker, it works with opentrack or can be used by itself. In my personal opinion, after using both for a while, FOXtracker is smoother and more accurate than AItrack. I was thinking in build a DIY TrackIR clip, but FOXtracker works so fine that I think is not necessary.

There's another head tracking solution called FoxTrack that utilize a webcam to perform head tracking. A PS3 webcam is recommended since it's cheap and has 60 fps.

Use HFR camera ($5 ps3eye) for a smoother experience https://github.com/xuhao1/FOXTracker
