opentrack VS dcs_on_linux

I want to buy something like TrackIR (I don't know much about equivalent products). My friend told me about a DIY tracker that I could use (opentrack).

Out of curiosity, do you have a formed opinion on Opentrack for 6DOF support? It would be cool to have a little input plugin from your software for the XREAL into Opentrack! I usually play Il-2 1946 and other flight sims on a docked Steam Deck, and opentrack + android phone with AI recognition is a god send.

I'm attempting to install on Nobara 37 and saw #1558.

Per https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/issues/1453 , it looks as though bookworm is affected by the badly-thought-out https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/d974f064b5a269fe8bd009d1430d17218aaf07b7

Use this tutorial: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki/PS3-Eye-open-driver-instructions

Download the latest release of Opentrack. Install it, and when it launches change Input to "UDP over newtork" and Output to "freetrack 2.0 Enhanced".

FreePIE + OpenTrack.

I think you’ve got the wrong sub. But I thank you. I’ve learnt a load figuring out your acronyms! For anyone not following trackir is this https://www.trackir.com/trackir5/ (which looks remarkably similar to a head mouse extreme which you can’t buy). It’s head tracking. Not eyegaze.

I can make opentrack to work, but not with SDK_WINE=ON which is needed to use it through Lutris. https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux is describing it better if you scroll down to ''headtracking with Opentrack''.

I'm using DCS on Linux (Fedora) and it works quite well. You can install it from Lutris with Proton Wine. I think You need to make some file link described there https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux . There is need to set desktop visible in Lutris settings, because without login window will be under splash. Later switch to Wine 8 and joystick will work with all buttons.

I have no problem running the stand alone version in a wine prefix using Lutris. (The steps described at github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux are needed). Try running the steam version of the sim using steam or the stand alone version using wine.

It's been usable on Linux via wine/proton for a while, although getting some peripherals working can be difficult. Good luck. Interested people may find this useful, https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux

if that doesn't work for you, check out this comprehensive guide on DCS on linux: https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux

This is the guide I used to make the game work: https://github.com/TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux

I do; I've contributed heavily to that guide as I come across problems and fixes, but aside from some tessellation issues it works flawlessly.
