City Car Driving (Linux)

LookPilot Configuration

1. Set protocol to auto
2. Launch the game
3. Select the City Car Driving Wine prefix in the Game's Wine prefix dropdown
4. Click Start tracking to begin tracking and wait for about 10 seconds
5. Click Stop tracking
6. Restart the game
7. Click Start tracking

Fallback Option

If the above method doesn't work, try using the freetrack (Wine) protocol:

1. Set protocol to freetrack (Wine)
2. Select your Steam installation from the dropdown
3. Set Game to City Car Driving in the game dropdown
4. Launch the game from Steam
5. Click Start tracking to begin tracking and wait for about 10 seconds
6. Click Stop tracking
7. Restart the game
8. Click Start tracking

City Car Driving Setup

Once LookPilot is running and configured, head tracking support may vary by version - check the game's Settings → Controls for TrackIR options, or you may need to edit the game.ini file and set EnableTrackIr=true.

Hotkeys do nothing on Wayland (Hyprland, KDE Wayland, GNOME)

Wayland compositors do not deliver global hotkeys to apps. Use LookPilot's local control API instead: bind your compositor's own shortcuts to call lookpilotctl center / toggle / pause (the helper script ships with the app; the API listens on 127.0.0.1 while LookPilot runs). This gives you recenter/pause from any keybind or Stream Deck.

Reducing jitter and shake

Shaky or twitchy tracking is the most-reported issue across all games, and it almost always traces to the camera picture, not the game:

1. Light your face from the front. Backlighting (a window or lamp behind you) starves the tracker of facial detail and produces micro-jumps.
2. Check your camera's real frame rate. Many webcams silently drop to 10-15 fps in low light even when set to 30. In LookPilot, watch the Tracker fps readout while tracking - if it is far below your camera's rating, more light usually fixes it.
3. Raise smoothing. In Settings -> Tracking, increase smoothing/filtering until stillness feels stable, then walk it back until the response feels quick enough.
4. Flatten the curve center. Give the response curves a gentle plateau around the center so breathing and small posture shifts do not move the camera.

Recentering

Press Alt+C (default) to recenter tracking on your current head position at any time - do it once seated in your normal driving position, looking at the center of your screen. If you find yourself recentering constantly, move the webcam so it faces you head-on (an off-axis camera makes turned positions read as drift) and recenter while looking at the horizon in-game, not at the camera.
