There's a little manual wheel under the LED display on really old models but with newer models it can be done digitally with the remote control.
Wait. Where am I. What year is this? This isn't about VCRs at all!
(Apologies for the joke. I couldn't resist.)
For steam you need to run a second opentrack inside the container. There's a writeup somewhere in opentrack issues for that

I use TrackIR.
To play a flight sim, I have to connect a joystick, throttle, pedals, and TrackIR. My throttle is a part of a HOTAS that's so old and obscure, driver installation on Windows 10 can be tricky. So I don't want to attempt to get all this gear running on Linux. So I keep Win10 on an SSD and hang my head in shame.
You'd be surprised. Linux is where good hardware goes to live forever.
For example, the super weird "Sidewinder Strategic Commander" runs out of the box on Linux. A Microsoft device. That got its drivers deprecated after XP SP2, runs today on new kernels without doing anything
"old and obscure" tends to be where Linux shines. It's possible the driver is already in-kernel. What is it?
I don't know, but I really like seen whatever @bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de cooks at !diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de , so just tagging him in case he has any recommendations
OpenTrack is alright :) The trick is to get it to play nice with Proton. I've some scribbles ott here: https://simpit.dev/systems/opentrack/
I also was with the closed beta of the Linux native version of the Beam Eyetracker, which is kinda rad if you just have a webcam/smartphone cam and want to get some experience without investing into more expensive hardware. It utilizes the same mechanisms under the hood but comes with a fancy GUI and a setup wizard so that is really smooth sailing for newcomers.
Nothing stopping you from making your own tracker with cardboard and a bunch of IR LED tho. Been there :)
