    According to the article below on the official Tobii Eye Tracker Website, TSC2024 is now an officially supported game for the Tobii Eye Tracker 5.
    (It also says TSW5 is also supported but wont mention that here!)

    Experience the tracks in Train Simulator Classic 2024

    Tobbi says it will work automatically in game, but cannot see anywhere how to set it up in the setting tab.
    Have tried a few locos but to no avail.

    Is there any information from DTG that TSC2024 now works with a Tobii Eyetracker 5, and how to set it up, and a list of locos / routes supported?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I use TrackIR with both TSC and TSW5, the tech isn't that different is it?

    Thanks for the responses above, I can now update the following:

    To get the Tobii eyetracker working in TSC looks like you need 3 bits of software installed:

    - Tobii Experience
    - Tobii Game Hub
    - Open Track

    Details of how to get them are in the link below:
    (would be helpful if they where on the Tobii TSC page!)
    150+ New Games through Open Track - Tobii Gaming

    The Open Track bit of software is what I was missing and now my Tobi Eyetracker is working in TSC.

    Only problem is you need to create your own profile for position and sensitivity settings using the Open Track software.

    Most games have them set up already or can download, but cannot see one for TSC2024?

    In MSFS and DCS, you can also easily switch the head tracking on and off while in game with a simple key bind.
    This feature appears to be missing in TSC, again unless someone knows to the contray?

    I just picked this up yesterday on Steam. It's on sale for another hour or so. Once you get it dialed in, it's a real game changer for TSW. And it's significantly less expensive than the alternatives.
    Full Disclosure: I have nothing to do with the program, I don't get anything from it. I just happened to come across it while looking for alternatives to Track IR because mine is lost in a box somewhere. I tried the free demo and it worked great. This program is actually better than Track IR because it tracks head AND eye movement. And it doesn't cost anywhere close to Tobii. Easy to setup and use, good instructions and no discernable impact on frames that I can see. It works with a Web Cam OR you can set it up to use the camera on your phone. For less than $30, it checked all my boxes. I mentioned the free demo already so there's nothing to lose for trying it out.
