Want to use Track IR in this game? Here's How!

Hey guys, have had the game a while now, and love it! Anyways, I also play Farming Simulator, which also does not support Track IR. This is actually taken from the person who wrote this up for Farm Sim, so proper credits go to him, I am just the messenger. Original link below. Works great in MSC! You may need to tune your Track IR sensitivity some for optimal results.

Step 1: Download FreePIE: FreePIe[andersmalmgren.github.io]

Step 2: Run Track IR.

Step 3: Run the TIRmouse program. You can find it in your TrackIR install directory. \Naturalpoint\TrackIR\TIRMouse.exe
You will see a little window with blue fields, and input selections. Set X to 'Yaw', and Y to 'Pitch'. You should see yellow lines moving around indicating your head movement. You will also notice that your mouse might move, but only if you have the TIRMouse window active(focus). Here's where FreePIE comes in.

Step 4: Run FreePIE. You will get a window with a few tabs and spaces. Click 'File>New' and a blank .py script file should open.

Step 5: Paste this code into the window, and then click 'Script>Run Script' or press F5

#Use Z to toggle on/off [DISABLED:and right mouse to activate head tracking]
#(Good for games like Outerra)
def update():
    yaw = trackIR.yaw
    pitch = trackIR.pitch
   
    deltaYaw = filters.delta(yaw)
    deltaPitch = filters.delta(pitch)   
     
    if (enabled): #if (enabled and hotkey)
        mouse.deltaX = deltaYaw*multiply
        mouse.deltaY = -deltaPitch*multiply

if starting:
    enabled = False
    multiply = 20
    trackIR.update += update

#hotkey = mouse.rightButton
toggle = keyboard.getPressed(Key.Z)

if toggle:
    enabled = not enabled

Step 6: Start up MSC. Go ingame, and Press Z once. Enjoy!

Also, make sure you try modifying ingame mouse settings instead of your Track IR settings for sensitivity. Seems to work better.

Would this work with Facetracknoir? http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm

A budget tracking system using a PS3 camera is more achievable for most players who don't really want to spend 100's on the official TrackIR system

Works OK, but the toggle key doesn't seem to actually "toggle". It just enables it and no way of turning it off.
