Hi all,
Cachya is a great trackIR alternative, that uses a webcam to track your head movements accurately. I was about to go ahead and buy it when I read that the company had gone bust.. and people had been spending the $14.95 and getting no registration key.
Is this true? If so, would anyone be willing to give me a key, or does anyone know of any "special" files that would allow me to get the correct registration info or skip it all together.

*Please note!* I am no crook and if it is still up and running I would be willing to purchase!

Hey Lewis!
I just noticed your location, Up until June 3rd I lived near Bungay, Suffolk, and a few years before Henstead, Suffolk. Do you know where I mean?

Another alternative to consider is FreeTrack: http://www.free-track.net/english/


Software is free, but you have to build the "hardware" yourself. Parts for it cost about 10 euros. But you can also get it cheaper if you use regular leds and not infrared-leds:salute:.

Thats the problem, I have no LED's handy. Cachya works with a bit of paper! I just want to unlock it!

Hello,

Yes I know Bungay quite well, I moved to suffolk with the now ex and lived in Halesworth for just over a year.

In fact I'm over due for another visit to Flixton. Love that place.
 
Kinect???

Not to hijack this thread, but has anyone thought about using MS' new kinect device for FSX head tracking. Seems like binocular cam technology could eliminate the need to wear anything on your head.

Me too! I understand that they run a flight simulator or something there on saturdays. You might want to ask Alan (The manager) about it,

I bought little flashlight that contained three leds (I think it cost 4 euros), and modified my head device from that. Works great
