When I try to use freetrack on ArmA and on Il-2 1946, it does not move smoothly, it skips and jumps for some reason. How do I get it where when I move my head it doesnt skip from one place to another?

And your points always appear properly when you move your head ? i mean when you look a them through the FT window.

it says 30 fps.  rarely I will have low jitters but most of the time it seems to be between 20-30.  I wonder if it could be cap construction, I dont have the right numbers for it in the thingy.

Ok, then it doesn't look like it comes from the video flux...

It makes me think of NAN errors... Do you think that can be your issue ?

I'm using 3 point cap tracking and sometimes tracking fails for some axes and 'NAN' appears in the data readout, FreeTrack may also crash.

The model's front points cannot be allowed to move behind the middle point, relative to the camera plane. This could happen for downward pitching and extreme yawing. To avoid this, make your model deeper, with the middle point further back than the distance between the two front points.

Also make sure that only the tracking points are being tracked at all times and that there is only one tracking cross per point.
