Unable to Recenter TrackIR in FSX/Win 7

Post by oldflyboy »

Never seen this problem before: TrackIR 5 with Clip Pro works but F12 will recenter. I changed the hotkey but still will not recenter, even with FSX paused. The only way I can recenter it is to pause FSX, bring up the TrackIR main screen, and then F12 works.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you running any keyboard software?

So if you changed the hotkey to the PrtScrn key, it will recenter fine, within the TrackIR software, but not FSX?

Everything is back to normal now Vincent. It is just a guess, but I believe the problem was caused by Flight Planning software. Whenever I leave it running when FSX is active I have something go wrong with either (or all).....Saitek Yoke (rudder pedals still work), TrackIR, huge jumps in CPU usage, graphics flashing, and finally a black screen.
No flt plan software=no problems. I plan to try it in WinXP mode next.

i have the same problem in FSX running under Windows 7 32 bits
I can't use any key in fsx but it run well into Trackir 5B
I tried also to assign a mouse touch but not work anyway
I have deleted in fsx the fonction of the keys F9 and F12 and it's the same.
I have the Traclip.
Bfore i must reinstall FSX i don't have this problem.
To make a pause or to center i must go back in the trackir software.
Ecuse my english i'm french and school is so far !!
Thank you for your help

I mapped mine to NUM4, 5 and 6 and it seems to work fine. Had to remove bindings of the default NUM assignments in FSX but who need them when you have TrackIR? It has �frozen� sometimes but that�s more like �normal� behavior I think. Since I�m running Windows 7 64 bit it always helps when just �killing� the applications. This is a huge improvement from XP and Vista that needed a reboot when shit happened.

Also look at running both the TrackIR software, and the gaming application at the same permission level (right click on the exe for each , and select run as admin)
