There is also a program called Cam2Pan that uses a standard webcam to track 
facial movement WITHOUT needing to stick anything "weird" on your head.
Of course it's closed source, proprietary and only runs on Winbloze.
From all the reviews I've read about it it evidently does not work as nicely 
as TrackIR3.

BTW : The reflective stickers that TrackIR uses can be stuck to anything 
including a cap or microphone boom. If you want to stick it on your forehead 
and forget it there when you go to the shops is your problem!  :)

I think some sort of head tracking device would be great in FG especially with 
the 3D cockpits. Using a mouse and yoke/joystick at the same time is a bit 
tricky.
