Hello MrAflac9916,

I'm not aware of any breaking changes that were made for v4.2. Prepare3d uses SimConnect library for communicating with TrackIR server. I am suspecting this was somehow not updated properly.

Could you check if this is included in the following installation directory? They are located in these folders:

\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. This would reset the libraries and may resolve the problem.

I've just bought prepar3d v4.4 (28th november)
Track IR Pro doesn't works at all with prepar3d and works fine with FSX
Is anybody plays this version 4.4 with track ir successfully ????

Hello coucoucmoi,

In order for Track IR to work properly, it needs to be run prior to launching P3D. Can you confirm if you are starting TIR first?
All the Best,
