ANY iOS 13 DEVICE IS SUPPORTED!

"The best new controller on the market will only set you back $9.99. It's a smartphone app called SmoothTrack." - Polygon

Customer reviews:

"SmoothTrack just works. Less than 5 minutes to install, setup and fly. Love not being tethered to my desk! 5 stars!!"
"This worked perfectly and way better than expected! Totally enhanced my experience with MFS 2020!"
---

It's a near magical experience to seamlessly slightly move your head and have your game perspective immediately play along (the movements in the game are exaggerated so that you only have to make slight movements of your head to control the camera).

- Simply lean forward to get a closer look at your Flight Simulator cockpit!
- Look a bit up to see the overhead panel of your A320!
- Simply shift your head a bit to the right to see the direction of the space station you're approaching in Elite: Dangerous!
- Look a bit left before a hard left turn in Euro Truck Simulator 2!


No headset or extra equipment of any kind is required! Simply set up your device so that it can see your face. Using the on-screen controls, you can shift your perspective in-game.

Your head movements are slightly exaggerated which enables you to look out of a cockpit side window with just a slight movement of your head to the left.

Any game that supports the FreeTrack or TrackIR protocol will work with this, including:

- Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Microsoft FSX
- DCS World
- Elite: Dangerous
- IL2: Sturmovik
- Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Kerbal Space Program
- ...and many, many others!

INSTRUCTIONS (included in the app):

1. On your computer, install and run the latest version of the free program "OpenTrack". It is available on GitHub at http://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/releases
2. In OpenTrack, as "Input source", choose "UDP over network". As Output, choose "Freetrack 2.0 Enhanced", as its sub-type "Both".
3. Make sure the UDP port OpenTrack is using is open both on your firewall and router.
4. Find the IP address of your PC by running 'ipconfig' in a Command Line - look for "IPv4 Address".
5. Now, in SmoothTrack, set up your IP address and port in the settings
6. Press "Start" in OpenTrack
7. Tap Play here in SmoothTrack and you should see the OpenTrack octopus move around, which means any game that supports TrackIR will now be supporting your head tracking! If the octopus is not moving, then check Troubleshooting for more detailed instructions.

Email support is provided if there are any issues (or if you have any ideas for new features!).

Great value, a few suggestions:

A USB client for Mac would be super nice and worth an iAP. Being able to use the rear camera for tracking would be great too, as I’d like to MagSafe mount my iPhone to my mac. Alternatively to all of this, a macOS native version would be amazing!

OMG

I’ve been playing Battle of Stalingrad a lot and I kept reading about people using head trackers for flying. I thought sounds great, but spending $300 odd dollars seemed expensive, especially if I don’t like it. $15 Australian dollars, I thought why not at least try it. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest. But wow, it’s so responsive to my head movements when flying. Sure, camera control use works fine, but this makes it a much more natural and immersive experience. Hooked through my iPhone to the computer I found it to be smooth without any lags. It really has opened up my experience flying planes and driving tanks.

Head tracking made accessible.

This is what I’ve been waiting for. An app that can utilise one of the high spec cameras we have with mobile devices and for a first gen app is fully functional for its feature set.

5 stars for development without requiring additional hardware.

Hope the developer can finesse the app going forward. I use other udp data apps for various sims and it would be great to be able to run this app as picture in picture or in background. Not to take away from what works however. This is a time and money saver. Price is amazing. Dev deserves a beer.
