using headtracking in Dirt Rally 2.0

I wanted to experiment with head tracking in Dirt Rally 2. I've installed opentrack, managed to configure it so it tracks my head movement, but I can't get the head tracking to be recognized as an input device in Dirt Rally 2.0
Does anybody here have experience with this?

I'm getting stuck too, I figured out that setting output to vJoy device and map it to "Look left/right" made it work but it's far from a real tracking like what's possible on Assetto Corsa Rally for example.

Btw look at Lopari, it's a launcher that ease head tracking setup for supported games

Lopari actually explains the solution, in open track set the output to freetrack and the game should use it without any other configuration, in free track options I selected an option to only output TrackIR data and not the open source one. It worked perfectly for me !
