I’ve been using FreeTrack v2.2 with the latest CL-Eye drivers, and I must say how wonderful the performance is! However, I have an issue that seems to be plaguing many users, particularly the ones who use the setup with Falcon 4 Allied Force. FreeTrack opens and begins tracking without a hitch, but when I start the F4AF executable, the red light on the camera blinks once or twice. Then I get no tracking in the sim. If I alt-tab back to the desktop and look at FreeTrack, the image looks as it does in the CL-Eye Test app…in other words, like a normal image (versus the “red” image seen when tracking is functioning properly).
It seems as though the camera is changing something upon entering the F4AF program. I wonder if this is a problem with the PS3Eye.ax DirectShow filter; if so, are there any modifications that can be made so as to prevent this hiccup? Everything works properly when I use the original OmniVision drivers (which use YUV2 format). However, the tracking is not as accurate with those drivers, and I do not want to use FreeTrack 2.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
