I just finished my build 2 days ago and with a little bit of work I was able to get free track working flawlessly. This morning I wanted to get down on some IL-2 CoD but for the life of me I could not get the free track to recognize input from the camera. I have tried absolutely everything I can think of along with many suggestions on the forums.

That is all I am getting even though the tracking should be working.

(in the picture I have my headset on and am positioned the same as I was last night)

I am using a logitech c250 camera with a 3-led clip on my headset (wire hanger and velcro), and I had to rename the LogiDPPAPP exe in syswow64 to make it work.

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. The light on the camera is on as well, I can watch it turn on when I hit "start" in free track but there is still no image.

Even when I mess with the settings (like turn the contrast all the way down) usually I get some sort of response, the black screen would become red and lose its mind. It no longer does anything when I adjust the settings.

Can you see any other light dots on the cam screen? Like a remote control or a lamp. For me your LEDs are off.

I have come to the conclusion that it is an issue with the webcam. I don't know why it just randomly stopped working, but I can't get a picture using any software, not just free-track. Ordered a Microsoft-lifecam-x1000, maybe I will have better results with that.
