Here's a video of TwilightWalker, Kael, and me on the DFC server. I mostly focused on flying helicopters so these are some of the funnier ways I crashed. Unfortunately fraps wasn't set up properly to capture my mic, so you can't hear my beautiful voice.

Out of curiosity, which head-tracking program are you using?  Also, how can I join the fun?

My graphical problems still ensue...

[Thendash]

@kg333: I'm using trackIR v5, it's pretty expensive for the average user but I love flight and racing sims so it get's a lot of use and was totally worth it. If I play without it, I still try to move my head to look around.

@Nilocy: What problems are you having and what graphics card do you have?

If you're interested in a Trackir I suggest checking out Dslyecxi's discount thingyjig here

It's not a huge discount but it's a discount nontheless

Alternatively, Freetrack

Actually, Freetrack is what I use (thought it'd make a good project), and l love it to death.  I catch myself moving my head on games without tracking support too...I really wish there were more games that supported it in some form.  Mechwarrior with headtracking would be epic.

I've been meaning to do a freetrack with my spare Playstation Eye - they're good because they do 120 fps at a pretty good resolution I just gotta get off my ass and remove the IR filter.

Uh.
I love it when people say that.
Did you even test it?

My PSEye (and most of my video cameras, incidentally) picks up on IR LEDs just fine.

Well, I finally got ARMA 2 OA working.


Now why does everything look so damned blurry?

[KaelGotDwarves]

turn off post processing completely and turn down headbob in the options.

[Ozyton]

Also, make sure your rendering resolution is equal or greater than your screen/window resolution.

I would use freetrack myself but I am paranoid of screwing something up.

Don't do this if you're computer isn't TOP OF THE LINE BUILT 30 SECONDS AGO USING THE BEST QUALITY EVERYTHING.
Having a lower resolution makes the game run faster. It's the only way it runs bearably at all for me. It's set reasonably, so it's only slightly blurry.

Also, can someone tell me (through posting or PM, I don't care) the DFC ArmA2 server information (Password, mods/addons, ip etc)?
Also also, I have a mic, but I don't want to use it because I'm a delicious minor.
Also also also, I have to stop using also so much.

[warhammer651]

I am apparently COMPLETELY UNABLE to access ANY multiplayer games Kael hosts that aren't Terraria.


What. the. fuck?

[kg333]

There's not really much to screw up...I picked up a webcam off Amazon for $20, another $5 worth of parts from Digikey, and went to town.  If you're at all handy, it's worth a shot.  Worst comes to worst, you're out a couple nice lunches.

@Jay: Incidentally, although removing the IR filter isn't strictly necessary, as you point out, I found I got much smoother tracking after removing the IR filter and installing a visible light filter (floppy disc innards).  The improved signal-to-noise is worth it, IMO.

Me, Twilight, and Kael played some tonight on a new Warfare map. I streamed it all and it's archived here if anybody would like to check out the fun that you're all missing by not joining us!
