TrackIR 5 and Arma 2 &3 problem that just happened

Post by Rick1 »

Maybe I changed a setting accidentally or something but my arma 2 and arma 3 alpha are not recognizing the trackir now. On the Trackir5 panel and headsup views everything looks normal and it operates as expected. The problem happens when I load either arma 2 or 3 and there is no tracking. I noticed that might give a clue to where the problem is. In the arma "controls" all the key and mouse controls a listed in bright white but for some reason the trackir controls are all greyed out and faded. I assume this is because arma isn't seeing the trackir unit but I don't know.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Do you have both green lights on the TrackIR?

If they aren't both lit, in the TrackIR software click on the icon at the top left and choose "Check for game updates".

Within ARMA go to Options, Controls and then Controller select TrackIR and select enable.
