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). Additionally, since version 2, your eyes are also optionally tracked and will nudge the camera based on where you're glancing on screen!
- 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 simple camera gestures, you can shift your perspective in-game. Also, if you want, you can store views (say, a copilot angle, or a cockpit closeup) as Quick Views for easy access later.
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!
Email and Discord support is provided if there are any issues (or if you have any ideas for new features!).
What’s New
Version 2.0
Here's what's new in this HUGE update of SmoothTrack:
* Brand new and improved UI, rewritten from the ground up to be 93% less ugly!
* Added eye tracking capabilities for nudging the view when glancing around! Activate eye tracking by tapping the eye button, and set up eye tracking sensitivity in the settings.
* You can now easily create camera offsets with camera control gestures: panning with one, two, or three fingers on the screen.
* Easily save, choose, and delete offset quick views right on the main screen.
I really hope you enjoy SmoothTrack! If you do, you can support it by leaving an App Store review and by spreading the word to your sim communities!

Ratings and Reviews
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.
Great substitute for costly head tracking devices
I can’t afford Tobii, track IR or even a webcam, so this is a great substitute if you want head tracking for flight simulation. Even without fine tuning (which I’ll probably get around to eventually), it’s still an effective way of looking around the cabin, and the outside scenery without tying up your left hand for mouse controlling. I love it.
