    I was refering to FreeTrack http://www.free-track.net/english/, not FaceTrackNoIR. The latter does not need a clip, but from what I have read it is far less precize and troublesome, then FreeTrack which needs a clip (preferably with IR LEDs, but it will also work with normal LEDs or some kind of reflective material), but after set up properly works very well in flight sims and racing sims.

    Gotcha, I vaguely remember having heard about this one, thanks for the link. I can only imagine but I would assume it has got to work better than the one I mention, simply because it has LED's to follow.

    Well after a little research I found a rather neat little option which is just use your smart phone for free if you have an android device with a gyroscope in it, I did come across options for iphone users along the way, however i can confirm this android version works a treat!

    I totally agree! Coming from Race07 (and GTR2) this is a must-option for me and the reason that I have not bought any RaceRoomExperience content so far.

    The dude in that video is hilarious.. Didnt know this existed but i find this a very very good option to have. Gonna try and find a way to try this as well.. i saw a video of someone with a webcam on his tv/monitor which did work nice as well but it was on another AC.. Could you make a video showing your way of headtracking? There's only one and boy is it funny.. :D But very effective!

    Or you could just use RealHeadMotion. Will post a video soon. It isn't lust for looking ahead. When racing side by side in a curve, you can better see the opponent. I purposefully raced behind the AI to show the effect. Yes, I do know the car was geared wrong. No, I don't care. It's just a video. LOL

    Personally I can't race with look to apex effects.
    I find it disorientating when the game turns the virtual head without me myself is moving.. .
    But as with everything else, options is always good.

    Was really weird for me at first. I don't notice it now. But I'm not trying to sell people on it. I'm just helping a bro.

    It just does I think.... Swagg helped me, using the AC RHM and freepie.

    Tbh I'm struggling with it, cause it feels like I'm turning more than I am but I'm gonna stick with it.

    I've set some deadzones so my virtual head isn't moving about when I'm correcting.

    I'm knew to this to dudes, but here goes...

    FreePie is a kinda platform where techy folk can code stuff for multiple platforms, one of them happens to be able to get into sims to make the cockpit camera move about..someone made one for AC that happens to work in R3e too...

    You will need to install FreePie 1.5 from here https://sites.google.com/site/midid...otion-plugin/realheadmotion-for-assetto-corsa works, because this one has the console.exe (Install to a custom directory on your C drive) the console will be in that folder, this will be the freepie console path. You won’t ever have to run FreePie, it just has to be installed.

    to be ctd.

    Everything else you'll need is attached, including Swaggs guide. cheers Swagg

    Remember, you can set the degree of the turn. If you've ridden a motorcycle, you know to look where you intend to be, not at what is in front of you. It will become natural.

    Thx guys.....BUT :( doesn't work for me, followed all instructions, calibrated , configured and got a major freeze....thx but I don't waste my time with such stuff...and now getting a bit pissed because there is still no simple look-to-apex function (this highly complicated and extra performance-killing feature that will blow up all PCs, uses at least 10GB HD space and sucks your gfx-cards empty :D ) ....:mad:
