Hello -

First things first, you should make sure FSX is fully updated.

Additionally, make sure your firewall (including windows firewall) is not blocking the connection.

Finally, try running both TrackIR and FSX by right clicking on the icon and selecting "Run as administrator"

If you artifically depress the graphics quality within the FSX software, do you get the same issues?

What is the processor usage like when it stutters this way?

Try running both FSX and TrackIR as administrator and see if it works that way. Additionally, what version of windows are you running?

It is possible that the firewall is blocking communication. You may want to disconnect your computer from the internet, then drop your firewall to test. A description on how to do this in XP can be found here. If you have any other Anti-Virus or security suites, you may have to disable them as well.
