Great to see how it works

Very nice, Thanks for taking the time to show everyone how this works.

Just wish I could make it a little more detailed. I tried to do one of launch but every time I'm recording, the audio gets ahead and FPS drops to near 0!

Thanks you Dev team

The TrackIR mode works with FreeTrack 2.1

The advanged of the Freetrack is that the software is free, all you have to provide is a decent Webcam, that does allow you to disable auto-exposure. I'm using a Mircosoft VX1000. The other part you have to do is to make you own LED headset. My head cost £12 to make, this includes 3 IR Emitters, 3 Resistors, some wire, a USB A connector and a cheap headset.

Here is a picture of the headset. This was taken just before I completed soldering resistors and USB connector.
