Been using TIR5 without any issues for a very long time now but after replacing Microsoft Flight Simulator X with Prepar3D v2.5 I've seen an issue a couple of times now when TIR for some reason stops responding to my head movements. The green leds on the TIR device stay on when this happens. If I hover the mouse cursor over the TIR icon in the System Tray the TIR icon disappears.

I've checked the Windows Event Log trying to find a clue why this happens but haven't been able to find anything.

Last time this happened on short final...not exactly the most perfect timing to all of a sudden loose your ability to move your head/view so I would really like to find a solution to this.

Any idea what might cause this or if it's even likely to be related to Prepar3D or if it's just a coincidence this issue has surfaced pretty much at the same time I replaced FSX with Prepar3D?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi there
My problem is that it does not respond at all when using Prepar3Dv2.5, works fine when I fly using X-Plane 10.
I have TrackIR4 with version 5.2.2 installed, the program works fine but there seems to be no "connection" with Prepar3D

WebMaximus,

I'm not sure what would be stopping the software mid-game. Have you tried removing and re-installing TrackIR? What title shows up when you load Prepar3d v2.5?

Regards,

Hi Mike,

Haven't tried re-installing but fact is I've now completed a couple of more flights without any issues so I'll keep my fingers crossed it was just some temporary problems.

Will report back in here if I see the problem again.

WebMaximus,

Got my fingers crossed for you too!

Regards,

Thanks Mike!

Same happens for me. Trackir will stop responding mid flight in P3d. It will restart and reconnect fine, but a few mins later it will stop responding. This seems to happen more frequently during a MP session. No crash logs, just head tracking stops. this is a fresh install of P3d and Trackir 5.2.

Any ideas?

In my case I haven't seen the problem anymore after switching the USB port my TIR is connected to so you might wanna try that.

wannabe,

Does switching the USB port you are using to a different hub help like it did for WebMaximus?

Regards,

Actually, I received a windows update for my Etron USB hub device and have flown the last several flights, each longer than 1.5 hours, without a problem. Keeping my fingers crossed!
