Joystick Curves + FacetrackNoir

[Pickle]

I'm running 2 really great pieces of software at the moment, they work perfectly separately, but combined not so well.

Joystick Curves adds sensitivity to my Hotas, the other tracks my face via Web cam and moves the in game camera.

Both use virtual joysticks and there lies the problem, combined my face starts to control the ship pitch and roll as well as the camera, the obvious solution is to set joystick Curves to a second virtual joystick, but when I set it to vJoy device#2 Curves stops working.

I can see the cross hair moving for the joystick but the second cross hair that should be following does not follow.

I know what's happening but not sure how to fix it.

You load joystick curves for for your HOTAS. It creates a virtual device that you bind to the flight controls in ED.
You load up FaceTrackNoIR which ALSO uses VJoy and it detects and binds to the VJoy instance loaded for joystick curves rather than to a new VJoy device. Your facetracker has now taken over controlling your ship from your HOTAS. Oops.

You need to look into possibilities for forcing two VJoy devices with the correct input bound to each one.

Switch output tracking protocol to freetrack.

OP
this is what I would do :

I can see the cross hair moving for the joystick but the second cross hair that should be following does not follow.

The second X-hair moves in response to the curve you programme. Have you programmed a curve i.e. anything that's not a zero flat-line in the graph to the left?

There are also two drop downs to select input and output. Make sure they are both set-up and defined appropriately. In short I have had this problem before but being away from my PC I'm trying to remember but badly!

If you are still having troubles I can check when I am back at the PC.
