msfs2020-go VS aitrack

Not an app per se, but I use my ipad to view VFRmap

Recently sended Volocopter to 300000 feets (with the teleport feature of vfrmap mod, just for the lulz) and while it was going down, I've noticed some crazy horizontal ground speed... something much more than 1000 knots. Sadly, no changes in sound and no sonic booms :/ :)

Probably not really what you are talking about, just discovered recently vfrmap addon for the game (well, just started to play in it like 2 months ago) and love it for ability to actually see cities names and other things around me, so I get much more context where actually I'm. Just in case if there is will be someone like me :)

Not sure on the FPS bug, but I stopped using the ingame VFR map for other reasons (bug where you can't control the plane anymore) and intead use this VFR map So much better than the ingame one, shows airports, streets, towns, can zoom in and out easily, even teleport directly using the map.

I recently completed a scenic tour of the US in the DC Designs F-15. I designed the route around national parks, major US cities, and places I've been before. The speed of this plane enabled me to cover hundreds of miles in 30-60 minute flights, and finish the trip in a reasonable amount of time. The flights were recorded with pilot path recorder and imported into Google Earth. VFRmap was also used for navigation. I took close to 500 screenshots from the trip, but narrowed it down to a few below.

I usually run VFRMap on my second screen. Clicky clicky: https://github.com/lian/msfs2020-go/tree/master/vfrmap

Yes, it's a mod called vfrmap. https://github.com/lian/msfs2020-go/releases

VFR map - Plugin that runs in your browser, much better than the in-game map

Additionally you can use https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack to get good head tracking and you don't need to run it with the same WINE prefix, since it uses UDP to communicate. Just run it casually from your OS (via WINE for example). But OpenTrack still need to run in the same WINE prefix ofc.

Software to setup a camera with head tracking https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack

For rudimentary head tracking, you can use a webcam with AiTrack.

If you have a decently modern phone you can get the smoothtrack app on your phone for $10. You can use that as an input for opentrack. I've been using that for a while, and it seems to be working well. Apparently you can also use a regular webcam in opentrack using aitrack, but I haven't personally used it so I can't vouch for how well it works.

I would use ai track (https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack) instead of a track ir system since it only uses a decent webcam and in my experience is pretty reliable.

OpenTrack plus AITrack is 100% free. If you don't have a webcam, toss in DroidCam for Android/iOS and use your smartphone.

run opentrack https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/releases to get the curves and mapping and aitrack https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack for head tracking. 200% better for me.

I use AITrack to use a webcam to read my face. This means that the only peripheral I need is a webcam, no other headsets or hats.
