TrackIR 5 stopped working in Prepar3D v4
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 3:24 pm
TrackIR 5 has suddenly stopped working in Prepar3D v4. I have the latest TrackIR 5 version installed. The hat sensors work in the TrackIR software interface (I see the 3 green dots on the dummy's head), the left green light is visible on the hardware, but the right green light does not light up when in Prepar3D v4 with no TrackIR in virtual cockpit etc.
I right click on Chaseplane, TrackIR, SkyForce and Prepar3D and select Run as Admin as standard.
I have tried the recently posted advice below in italics but the problem still remains. I understand this is a fairly common problem.
Please advise:
a) how do I get TrackIR 5 working again asap?
b) will an enhanced update be issued to resolve this problem?
\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\redist\Interface\FSX-SP1\retail\lib
\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib
If they already exist, try running the included MSI files to reset them. Once you have done that, reboot the computer, and then run TrackIR as administrator, and then run the game with administrator privileges as well.
