DiRT Rally 2.0 Setup

Head tracking should work automatically. If it doesn't respond, check the game's settings for a TrackIR or head tracking option that may need to be enabled.

Common issues

Game connects only sometimes

Reported by DiRT Rally 2.0 players: start tracking first, then launch the game - Codemasters titles check for the tracker at startup. If the status stays yellow, restart the game with tracking already running rather than restarting LookPilot.

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.
