EDIT: This needs to be loaded and âStartâ before you execute MSFS. Then in âControllersâ in the MSFS menu, you now see TrackIR listed. Took a bit to calibrate and while not perfect, it works âOKâ.
This works with the 5 version as well, and didnât require any specific additional calibration to work, aside from not setting your âcentre viewâ command to the same as a MSFS keyboard command.
This is good to know because v5 has head tracking whereas v4 is eyes only. But the FaceTrackNoIR memicks head movement (not too well); esp on ultrawide monitors over 30" (or is it 32")? I have a 34" UW and has problems reaching left and right as well as you can not look down (limitation of Tobii 4C).
Itâs Tobii that needs to come out with drivers for MSFS something that has been requested from them so they put it in their âGame Hubâ.
Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is there any way to get it working with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 ?
Tobii can not provide any information.
Microsoft, Asobo, Zendesk can not provide any information.
I have contacted both.
Tobii Eye Tracker 5 provides head and eye tracking support. It works in Digital Combat Simulator, IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles and American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simuilator.
I have Track IR 5 but Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is just leagues better than that, so really want to get it to work. If anyone in the community has any information on upcoming support please let me know, or if you have found a way to get it to work please let me know!
I will share if I can get it working with all of you as well.
All of my other peripherals worked out of the box, throttle, joystick, gamepad, mouse, keyboard and pedals, so good work Microsoft and Asobo and everyone on the team. Just need to get this last peripheral Tobii Eye Tracker 5 working and for me it is complete. Impressive game!
Wow, I own a TrackIR and didnât know of this. Seems technically advanced. If it works better I hope either the developer or Microsoft provide support soon.
Thereâs a software called FaceTrackNoIR that can emulate TrackIR using webcams and other devices, including the Tobii. Somebody already made instructions to get v5 working in Star Citizen here, it should be the same for FS (only you donât have to enable anything in game).
Tobii Eye Tracker v5 is capable of tracking both head and eye movements.
They just need to make drivers available for MSFS so we donât have to use a 3rd party âjoystickâ emulator.
On games that they do support, it works amazing. Plus I like how it integrates with Windows 10.
Cool. Finally something you dont have to wear on your head. DCS has it, and a whole slew of other major games. Shame neither are responding to its support.
