Tobii eye tracker 5 - settings?

[Harag]

I finally upgraded to windows 10 and bought an tobii eye tracker 5 -- it works great in Euro truck simulator 2 and ATS as well.

However, in FS19, it works, but when I want to look directly behind me -- e.g. when attaching to trailer, I basically have to break my neck and then I don't quite manage to see the trailer hitch.

I can't find any settings in the game for adjusting the sensitivity like I can in ETS2. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks.

Anyone have this issue?

After validating my files, the tobii 5 is now only working with my EYE GAZE - and it's so slow at turning.... takes about 7-8 seconds to look behind me, and the F12 (recenter) doesn't work anymore. Head tracking doesn't work - it's only eye.

OK, guess no one is having the same issues, or even using tobii 5.... After reinstalling it does now work. However I still have to break my neck to look behind me. the horizontal rotation is way too much and I can't even set it.

I downloaded the tobi game hud as "Elite dangerous" doesn't have built in settings, but for FS19 that just says that the settings are game controlled... So why can't I change these in game? All I have is a on/off setting. :(

I too am curious about this, I can't find settings anywhere.

I'm guessing there isn't any, I don't find the head tracker very good for FS19, so for now I've turned it off for that game and just use mouse look. :(

You would think if they were going to support something they would give you the access to settings, or even have a file I can manually edit.

I just really wish they would've left it so we could change the settings in the Tobii Game Hub. But anyway, I've contacted GIANTS Software support to try and get an answer on the settings issue.

In the mean time, I've been trying to get on with the games implementation of the eye tracker, and I just can't get on with it. The eye gaze keeps throwing me off.

I've managed to get FaceTrackNoIR working though which seems to be a workaround for the settings issue. I just can't seem to get the settings anywhere near that of the Tobii head tracking.

Thanks for the update, would be interested to see what GIANTS say about it. I found the gaze off putting too, when I look at the map, or the speedo it moves. found that an issue with Euro Truck Sim 2 as well.

Hmm FaceTrackNoIR - might have a look into this, you have that working with the tobii head tracker? Any pointers on setup?

I just turned eye gaze off for ETS 2 and tweaked the head tracking settings to be pretty good. But yeah, hopefully GIANTS'll reply to me soon.

Yes, FTNIR works with the Tobii Eye Tracker, it just takes some configuration. I would maybe try watching this video from Wombat Trucker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoIhAoyvjsw

Your issue sounds ridiculous to me, as I own a Tobii EyeTracker 4c, which works well and has settings in-game. Weird that the newer version 5 is not as well supported.

Had this exact issue come up for me, tried everything under the sun with no luck, wasted a good hr. But simple computer reboot made everything come good for me.

This is pretty much why I got rid of my tobii eye tracker 5 and will go track ir
There's just very little support for it and in my time owning it no new titles where added

The Eye Tracker has better eye and head tracking together with a wider compatible mount. Though the Eye Tracker 4C appears to have greater compatibility in games and other software / platforms.
