As a follow up I posted :I had to reinstall windows and therefore TrackIR pro.I saved my profile.Is it supposed to be set to vector or dot?I ask because I always went to tracking to adjust the camera and I had 3 green dots as in vector.Now if I do that the head mirror image is very irratic but when I switch to dot it is OK but then I only have 1 green dot and 2 grey dots.It is not working in FSX.Thanks,Ron

I noticed advice in another post to check for games update.Flight Simulator X is not listed under games in my TrackIR.I ran latest update but not the games update.Could this be my problem?Should FSX be listed?Thanks,Ron

OK<I have it working.2 problems.I have to invert pitch.It is reversed.Also when I am watching head movement it is ok then all of a sudden very erratic and all over the place.Am going to try in FS now.The reverse pitch is obviously not right.Thanks,Ron

What version of windows are you using?

Also, If you just re installed FSX, make sure you run updates. The TrackIR only works with service pack 2 or higher.
