Security The first level of your security is your account data: your login and password. The Gaijin Pass app will make it harder for any unauthorized users to get access to your personal account. With the Gaijin Pass enabled anyone using an unauthorized device will need to enter a special access code. Enter the game or login to any Gaijin websites tapping a single button in the app or use the code in the “Security” section. You can also track your login history in the app. News Sign up for news of the projects you are personally interested in, and receive all information about current news and updates right in the Gaijin Pass app. The app and mail notifications are available in 9 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Czech, Portuguese and Turkish.
HeadTrack

This app allows using your phone as a head tracking device for games on your PC. Works with games which support FreeTrack 2.0 protocol but can also connect directly with Opentrack. Many flight or racing simulation games support head tracking. HeadTrack on your phone can be your head tracking device, no additional hardware is required. HeadTrack tracks your head movement and rotation which is sent to your games. The HeadTrack app on your phone supports Gyroscope or Camera as input. The Gyroscope input has very little latency which makes it good for quick movements. The Camera input supports full 6DoF tracking. Supported Inputs • HeadTrack (recommended) - Available for iOS with Gyroscope or Camera. • Opentrack App - Connect any app which is compatible with Opentrack. • Live Link App - Another alternative iOS app with camera input Supported Outputs • FreeTrack (recommended / Windows only) - Head tracking data is sent to games which support FreeTrack 2.0. This should work with most games which support head trackers. • Opentrack - Head tracking data is sent to Opentrack on this PC. This is useful if you already have Opentrack set up. • FlightGear - Plugin for FlightGear • X-Plane - Plugin for X-Plane 9+ Supported Games Most games which support head tracking should work with HeadTrack. Some games we can confirm are working: Arma 3, BeamNG.drive, FlightGear, X-Plane. In your game, look into the settings if there is any support for FreeTrack or similar head tracking devices. If there is any input or output you would like to see added, let us know!
