Help! trackir 5 not working in FSX

Post by jwheijstek »

I bought the trackir 5 to use it with FSX, i can't get it to work, i installed it as adminitrator, i first run trackir 5 as administrator, then run FSX as administrator, both lights turn green, but nothing happens. what im i doing wrong? someone any idea?
i tried trackir 5 with Race on and it worked perfect!

thanks in advance for helping.

Do you have any antivirus or firewall software installed? This includes Windows firewall (which is installed and running by default in windows).

Try disconnecting from the internet, then completely disabling the firewall (including windows firewall) and av software, then running both as admin. If it works, the exceptions aren't added correctly.

If it still does not work, you may need to delete the simconnect entries in your side by side directory and repair the fsx installation.
