How to enable it in the game

BeamNG.drive supports the TrackIR protocol and detects a tracker started before the game. For your first test, enter Freeroam and choose the interior Driver camera.

Where to startStart TrackVisyon → launch BeamNG.drive → Freeroam → Driver camera

You do not need to replace game files or add a UDP tracker through mods. Keep native VR off for this monitor-based test.

Start with the Driver camera, on a monitor

This guide uses native head tracking on Windows, without mods. Native VR uses the headset's movement instead and should not be combined with this setup.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Start tracking first

    Calibrate in your driving position in TrackVisyon. Start tracking, check the integrated engine is active and only then open BeamNG.drive.

  2. Choose a simple test

    Enter Freeroam with a standard map and vehicle. Use Change camera (C with default bindings) until Driver, or check camera order in Esc → Camera. Test while parked inside the vehicle.

  3. Check the view

    Move your head gently. If the camera does not respond, close the game and reopen it with tracking already active. Do not change camera, mods and profile all at once.

  4. Find your driving feel

    Use Mapping Studio for comfortable rotation towards corners and mirrors. Start with the included profile and adjust one axis at a time, keeping a steady centre.

If your view does not respond

Are you testing in VR?

For this setup use a monitor and the Driver camera. In native VR, BeamNG ignores TrackIR positions to prevent doubled movement.

Using a camera mod?

First try a standard vehicle with the original Driver camera. A modified camera may handle view movement differently; there is no need to delete mods for this check.

Your webcam is not detected?

Close other apps using it, select it in TrackVisyon and check tracking before reopening the game.
