Tried that too, only work with the freetrack plug-in used via wine with wine install of euro truck. So never bothered.

It works well if am honest but with no protocols to use with it, it's next to useless unfortunately. Dev does state its a base app for integrating into your own.

i'll keep my eye on this thread.. been looking for some tracking devices for ATS lately..sad to hear that they dont work with the linux build of the game :( ...

and im not going to run the game through wine, even if it performs fine

I Managed to get the Head Tracking working in American Truck Simulator [Native version]

1) Install OpenTrack (opentrack)
2) Install HeadTracker for your Android

[

3) Change the port to 4242 in the App
4) Open up Opentrack: set tracker to UDP and protocol to libevdev

[

5) Check your jstest-gtk if you see your device (intall jstest-gtk if needed)
6) Go to American Truck Sim and it should show under Controllers as headpose, configure your X and Y axis!

Hmm, they way it moves back an forth really makes it seem less like head tracking but more like 'camera control that happens to be done through an input device mounted on your head'. Cool that you got it to work like that never the less.

that was just a quick test, you have to finetune the movements ofc.

i also found this: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki/Smartphone-Headtracking

Did that with euro truck with both my phone and the trackhat, it uses the joystick emu so not really the same as you have to then look the opposite way to pan the cam back. It should work the same as looking with your mouse.

made a video of it.. instead of UDP i use FreePIE UDP

Quoting: JuliusThere is also "Linuxtrack", have never tried it, but it seems to work with those truck simulators under Linux:

Humm I didnt know it exist "linuxtrack"

definitely I need to try it as I have track ir 4...

I'll post here when I do the test...

Quick question, anyone done any .deb packaging, The dev of opentrack seems to have come around a bit :D

He's wanting either .deb or rpm so he can test it. Know idea about debs.

Think he would be better off targeting ubuntu as steam is targeted at it!

dependecies seems to be:
depends=('opencv' 'qt5-serialport')
makedepends=('cmake')

it shouldnt be hard to build?
i havent used ubuntu, nor rpm distros much so i dont really know how its there
