Hoping someone here has some ideas on what else I can do to get head tracking working with my v1 Kinect.
I've confirmed it registers in the Kinect SDK and I can get it to show depth when linked to the BAM-Tracker.exe file.
When I launch any game in FP, I check the Plugins menu but only have the High Score Tracker and Post rendering options available.

When I try running BAM-Tracker by itself, it gives me some static value briefly before changing everything to 1s.

Here's my environment information
FP 1.9.1.20091231
kinect studio 1.7
Windows 10 (64 bit)
i5-8400
8GB RAM
nvidia 1660ti

Here's what the crash log is showing

I've ensured that nothing is set to read only and have given full permission to all users through the security settings. My anti-virus has been fully disabled along with every other non-essential process.

I've tried with both the built in BAM.dll as well as the new one that SlamT1lt includes with Star Wars.

Not sure what else I can do here.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Don't run BAM-Tracker.exe if you want to use Future Pinball.
Make sure it is closed (not in tray).
Just run FPLoader.exe.

Tomorrow i will check again old kinect works.

I should have been more clear with my description.
Most of my attempts were without BAM-Tracker.exe running. The only reason I ran it was to see if I could get calibration working.

I wonder if there's something I need to enable in a config file to get the kinect plugin working.

For me, Kinect from XBOX 360 works fine.
You can't do calibration with BAM-Tracker, only in FP.
Try to use latest BAM beta, BAM_Crash.log will be more usefull.

Using the new dll, I still don't see Kinect in the options.
I've done an uninstall, restart, install as admin with all plugins enabled, replaced the dll, and still don't see Kinect in any of the options.
I've gone through the directories and don't see any crash log after just running FPLoader.exe and poking around in the menus.

The only way I can generate a crash log is by running BAM-Tracker.exe. That still crashes shortly after launching (only tested with this after going through all the options above).

I'm wondering if something related to the Kinect SDK didn't install correctly. Will try ripping that and FP out again after work tonight.

Does it make a difference if I install Kinect before or after FP?

Nope.

So, you don't see Kinect plugin....
Lets start from basics:
If you run BAM first time you are in "basic" mode and you need to do few steps.
1. First change BAM menu mode from Basic to Advanced
- Go to BAM menu (press Q)
- Go to Options menu
- in first line you see
menu mode: basic
- use right arrow to and switch to "Advance"
BAM menu will change.

2. Arcade Mode. You need to use Arcade mode (from FP video/rendering options menu) or Forced Arcade Mode.
If you see in first line of BAM menu:
mode: somthing
or
plugin: somthing
then you are already in arcade mode.
If not go to Addons menu, in second line you will see:
Forced Arcade Mode: No >
use right arrow to enable Forced Arcade Mode.
BAM menu will chenge instantly

3. In first line of BAM menu is:
mode: something
or
plugin: something

Use right arrow to change mode/plugin.
With few right arrow you should end with:
Plugin: Kinect
(not Kinect desktop or Kinect 2, just Kinect)

If you can't select Kinect plugin, when check what files are in BAM/Plugins menu.

You need: Kinect.dll, FaceTrackLib.dll, FaceTrackData.dll
You need all 3 files.

I hadn't been running the arcade mode... missed that in the guides but it doesn't seem to make any difference on my rig.

I made a quick video of myself going through these options just in case I'm missing something. In the video, I show the dll files, the enabling of arcade mode, and where I'm looking for the kinect settings.

My biggest hope is that I'm missing something really basic here and you get to point and laugh where I'm making a mistake.

https://youtu.be/MiPshMBTB0s

I can do screen shots of these settings instead of a video if that's easier for you to review. I really appreciate all the help you've given so far.

In Plugins menu are only "non-tracking-plugins" like PostFX or iCom.
You can select mode in FIRST line of BAM menu with right arrow.

See this video: https://youtu.be/b0654sdwHgo

Thanks to your video I was finally able to find the Kinect menu.
It finds the Kinect and draws the yellow mask on me with my left eye (or right eye if I select that) correctly identified.
When I do the any of the three point setup options, it fails and generates a crash report.

This is similar to the error I got when testing with BAM-Tracker.exe (I'm not touching it for any of these tests... only mentioning because it's similar).

Here's what I see in the crash report.

I should add that I did find a thread with the same error code indicating a dll from DirectX 9.0c might be missing. When I try installing the older version of DirectX, I get a message that a newer version is already installed.

Another recommendation I found was to enable large page mapping but I wasn't able to find the related registry key and I don't like just poking around in the registry unless I have something documented to change.

I've got today off and doing my best to get this to work... I feel like I'm so close to a solution.
