Come on V4friend, tell us, what is wrong here, I'm also from the Netherlands who knows we can talk by phone or private Email.

Please be a little patient, ok?
I know that V4Friend will check these boards quite often.

@Chief:
FTNoIR can indeed be a little complicated for (some) users to set up, and that might have put you off.
Now, the FTNoIR team works hard on trying to improve things as soon as possible.
But don't expect any miracles very soon.

Maybe you can explain a bit better what worked and/or did'nt work for you, then we might be able to help.
The usefulness of FTNoIR is a per-user interpretation, but most users, like the ones who use Freetrack or TrackIR systems, do this to enhance their gaming experience with an extra added level of motion and depth-perception by this software.

Thanks I'm getting this faceAPI error:  Failed to intialize APIscope: Unaspected error

keep in your mind I did run FaceAPI on beforehand and removed the Intel IPP, like can be read on http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/manual/knownissues.htm

I did use all the updates 1.30; 1.30&1.40; 1.30&1.50 but no effects.

Start over, uninstall everything, the demo, IPP, and NOIR.  Then install the demo again first, test it.  Then install NOIR, test it.  Then optionally uninstall the Demo, not the Intel IPP.

I know, but I read also that Lott of Intel users [who wanted to give this software a it try], have the same problems, I'm living in the same country so I could, maybe give him the help he need right now. This could be a opportunity to get this Intel sandy bridge thing by the tail. So this is nothing about patients, more about help, hope this will explain more to you!

did this on  on XP-86 and Win7-64 ultimate boot, same problem, but should I uninstall the FaceAPI demo, to avoid this failure??

Uninstall everthing first, and make sure you uninstall everything listed above.  The install just the FaceAPI demo and tell me if it works.  These errors are fairly easy to explain, once I have the details from you.

let me know if this works for you.... ciao

[Dutch_P47M]

Thanks, made contact, tested the new beta and I think that V4Friend, can better do the communications here.
One thing I can write down here, I think your paypal donations will be good spent now, with the new beta 1.6, read below this page http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/information_links/download.htm !   

[Eexhaton]

Well, in that case i'll just should step down as being one of the FTNoIR spokesmen for the IL2 community then, right.

[SAS~Malone]

no mate, we need more people to help support this kind of thing - as long as the guys are more or less on the same page, there shouldn't be an issue...

[shardana]

When I posted my first post here I was eager to make as many of us here at sas know and use this software, I reckon that the more of us test and comment on this matter the better!! :-) besides I really enjoy reading comments and suggestions on facetracknoir. and I couldn't do without Eexhaton posts, they kept this thread alive....

Absolutely Eexhaton, It's very easy in ones frustration to be less than gracious towards someones HARD work and efforts. I assure you and any reading my comments, that this was not my intentions. I fully respect and appreciate the hard work and personal time the creator of this app (who's name I can't recall at the moment. Appoligies there). But even a simple README file would be helpful here. There is none. The sight provides very little insight as to HOW to do anything with it. The page titled Manual only shows the program installing and this is it.

Have you ever tried to break down an M16 rifle in the dark? This is somthing that can, and I have done. But NOT without some instructional aids and a lot of practice. So for those of us that are pointed, or critical, or, like myself unable to understand, perhaps those that Do understand can write here and enlighten us. Please, for the sake of the learning curve, start simple. Like how in the world do we get the program to work within a "game" like IL-2 or perhaps ArmA 2?

[shardana]

Hi Chief, let's explain then...

1st: download the program facetracknoirversion130 from this link http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/information_links/features.htm

2nd: open the zip file and doubleclick the .exe in it, this should open a file called albuquerque on your program files, in your pc. here C:\Program Files\Abbequerque Inc\FaceTrackNoIR     You should also get an icon on your desktop.

3rd: download update 1.4 and open it with the .exe, you can also do what I did... I opened the zip file and then I just copied all the files inside it and overwritten the ones in here C:\Program Files\Abbequerque Inc\FaceTrackNoIR

4th: download update 1.5 and do the same as for update 1.4....

now you're up and ready to use facetracknoir...


go to your desktop, doubleclick on the icon, a window will open and from that moment on you can fiddle with all the settings


I swear I can't make it simpler than that... ciao
