The game does not receive movement?
Check that tracking and the engine are active. Close the simulator and reopen it with TrackVisyon already running, without another head-tracking output in parallel.
Webcam head tracking in Flight Simulator
Check the horizon, find the runway and move closer to your instruments. Give your cockpit a more natural view with the webcam you already own.

How to enable it in the game
Start TrackVisyon before the simulator. If the cockpit view stays still, find TOGGLE HEAD TRACKING in the controls and use it to enable tracking.
Assign a free key if the action is unbound. In MSFS 2020, find the corresponding action in Controls Options. There is no default key that applies to every profile.
This guide starts with Flight Simulator 2024
TrackVisyon also supports Flight Simulator 2020 through the compatible protocol. Menus and bindings differ: always check your edition and aircraft profile.
Step-by-step setup
Calibrate before flying
Choose your webcam, sit in your usual flying position and calibrate the centre. Start tracking before opening the simulator.
Test the internal view
Load a free flight and check movement inside the cockpit before testing external or cinematic cameras.
Enable tracking in the controls
In MSFS 2024, open Settings → Controls, choose your keyboard or device and show all actions, not only assigned ones. Search Head Tracking and assign TOGGLE HEAD TRACKING to a free key if needed. Return to the cockpit and use the key to enable tracking; the same action switches it off when already enabled. In MSFS 2020, use Controls Options and find the equivalent action.
Make instruments comfortable to read
Start with the included profile and adjust one axis at a time in Mapping Studio. A steady centre helps with instruments; rotation suited to you makes finding the runway and traffic feel natural.
If your view does not respond
Works in one aircraft but not another?
MSFS 2024 separates general, aircraft-category and specific-aircraft profiles. Check which settings apply to your selected aircraft.
The cockpit responds but an external view does not?
Camera modes can behave differently. Use the internal view as the first check, rather than changing every tracking setting at once.
