Anyone know how to work this in CCD? Followed all the steps above and nothing's happening, even with the .dll fix.

Perhaps you should try forcely enabling the TrackIR in game configuration file mangalore.ini

Search there the string "TrackIR" and set it to "enable".

I tried this with a PS3 Eye Camera and it worked. I have yet to set it up properly, but before I do that, I wanted to ask if anyone has a profile for this game in FaceTrackNoIR that would like to share? :)

Thanks in advance.

That's odd. I didn't have to edit anything on that .ini file and it's working for me. I'm using the PS3 Eye Camera, FaceAPI 3.2.6 and FaceTrackNoIR 1.70. Didn't use the dll fix mentioned in the previous page.

In FTNoIR I have FaceAPI as the tracker source, Accela MK2 as the filter and FreeTrack 2.0 as the game protocol.

Must be the dll fix. I'll try this later.

If someone is still interested in this topic, just for information in the end I donated to the project and the devs sent me a beta version of the 1.7x branch that fixed all issues for me (because sometimes even with the dll patch in the previous page it failed to attach properly to the process, or something like that because it stopped tracking randomly).

I did not try the latest versions of this software but probably it should work way more smoothly than it used to now.

Facetracknoir dont have possible to track 4 point cap only 3 points.

I have 4 points cap and download freetrack 2.2 and not work only freetrack 2.2 support 4 point cap.

How to run this?

I don't know about this but you might track OpenTrack which is an opensource alternative to freetrack (and if it does not support 4 points cap, you can ask by opening a github Issue).

The main advantage of FaceTrackNoIR is to be able to use the webcam with facial recognition algorithm so that you don't need any cap nor LED, so if you have a cap you are probably better off with another software ;-)

BTW, I just tried the latest version and I can confirm that FaceTrackNoIR v2.0.0 with the free PluginPack v2.0.2 works out of the box, nothing to modify nor any parameter to change inside of CCD, it directly tracks the face and the movement is translated in-game (make sure to "START" the tracker in FaceTrackNoIR). Note that FaceTrackNoIR is not free, it actually costs ~3 euros (which is very cheap given the technology and the work they've done).

For the moment, compared to virtual reality with an Android device (so it's not as good as a dedicated hardware like HTC Vive nor Oculus Rift, see here for more info on how to setup VR with CCD with an Android device), I think FaceTrackNoIR provides a smoother head tracking experience, and although it does not feel like you are inside the simulation, the screen is bigger than VR goggles so actually you get a bigger field of view and a more immersive simulation visually (so you "feel" less, but you view more, so it depends what you are after).

Here I attach my quick-and-dirty config file with some neutral zones as I call them to avoid the head bobbing all the time.

/EDIT: seems like I cannot attach a file, so here is the file's content, just copy/paste the text into a file named "citycardriving.ini" and load it into FaceTrackNoIR:
