Is it possible to run freetrack on my laptop and the game in my pc having the two pcs on a lan?
i will ask some other question so i dont need to open a new topic: which is the max num and setup of leds i could used? is there a particular led or light better for this purpose? im thinking about using those with white light, i just tried it with a laser pen, those small and red, it worked pretty good but i want all the axis and stuff

Yep, running FT via LAN is possible by using glovepie. More info here:
http://forum.free-track.net//index.php?showtopic=507 As for the number of LEDS, i'd recommend one of the 3-point models - they both allow 6 degrees of freedom, so the one you choose is up to your personal preference. I don't play with headphones on too much, so i chose the cap model. And if you want really good tracking, use infrared LEDs and visible light filter (preferably removed IR filter too, but that's not mandatory if LEDs are bright enough) on the camera - this setup works in every lighting conditions, maybe except direct sunlight illuminating the camera. Please consult software and hardware FAQ treads for more info. |

i tried glovepie
ran this on the laptop
and in my pc running rfactor and live for speed: // this script reads input from a remote TrackIR and sends to game i replaced the ips, in the glovepie running on my Game PC i have the responde in the debug box, as the pic: these numbers change when i make the head in freetrack (running on my laptop) move but nothing happens in the game, did i miss something when seting up this? thnkx |

Hello,
I used this script, followed the instructions etc. But I cant get it to work. As soom as I hit RUN on my game PC, I get 5 of the script lines in red, acusing some error. The error is: function or keyname expected, instead of "FakeTrackIR.x" idem >>> y idem >>> z idem >>> pitch and so on... how to solve it? Thanks! |
