Mike,

I tried the install as administrator then loaded the TrackIr software as administrator and ran X-Plane as administrator. Still not working...

I'll watch for the release of the next Trackir version. Thanks for being persistent.

Regards,
Jeff

Not a problem

One more option to try, install the TrackIR 4.1.038 software found here.

Run the installer as administrator and copy the new game files over manually, then see if it works with the 4.x series.

You do not need to uninstall TrackIR 5 series software to install 4 series software, they will install side by side with no issues.

I tried Ver 4 as described above - still not working. The blue light never comes on, indicating X-Plane doesn't detect the unit.

If it were not for the TrackIr, I would have given up flight simming a long time ago. In my opinion, TrackIr is not an option - it is a necessity.

thanks,
Jeff

At this point I'd suggest maybe talking with Xplane to see if they have a fix? Perhaps theres something that's blocking it with the version that you have?

I'm having the same problem. When I run both as administrator the Track-IR works, but for some reason X-Plane can't fine the DVD drive to authenticate. Very annoying, and it makes it essentially useless.

Any progress since the last update on this problem?

Turns out the authentication issue was just because X-Plane was running as admin now and not my user. I just put the 1st DVD back in and it worked fine.
