I just wanted to comment that even MSFS 2020 is detected as Flight Simulator 2020 , it's not found anywhere in the list of games, so its not possible AFAIK to assign a profile, as it always loads the default one (F12 for center TIR :-) ). You need to alt-tab the TrackIR software and select your preferred profile manually.
I have updated the last list of supported games (I do it every time I see the update icon), but no luck.
Anybody can confirm this?

Thanks!!

We have now been in contact with the game producer to get support for TrackIR.

Thank you Jon!

TrackIR is now in MSFS2020

Smiles all round and let the VFR fun commence

What did you do to get it to work because mine is not working at the moment. Where do we get the new profile from

I've just installed MSFS 2020 and can not make the TiR 5 to work? Has anybody been able to make TiR 5 to work in MSFS 2020?

I am running 5.4.2 software version (see screenshot below).

Hello,

In order to use TrackIR with MSFS2020, you must have the latest version of gameslist downloaded onto the TrackIR software.
To update the gameslist, you can click on the main menu at the top-right corner, and click on the "Check for Game Updates" option.

Once the games list is updated. MS Flight Simulator 2020 will be added to the Titles list inside TrackIR software.
Please make sure TrackIR is launched first with administrator privileges before launching MSFS2020.

Thank you,

MSFS2020: "Flight Simulator 2020" has been renamed to "MS Flight Simulator 2020" on the latest gameslist update.
Please check whether "MS Flight Simulator 2020" is listed under the titles tab to confirm whether the gameslist has been updated to work with MSFS2020.

After no real issue when it was available with Alpha/Beta, I found that sometime, I need to reboot to make my TrackIR get "recognized" by MSFS. Sometime I can launch the Track IR software after MSFS gets launched and sometime it doesn't work. But 100% OK situation is clean boot, launch TrackIR software then launch MSFS.

when i go to install trackIR 5.4.2 a custom setup dialog asks if i want to install MSFS 2002 Support. Did they mean 'MSFS 2020'? Should I enable this??

Thank you,
when I click "check for game updates" a popup says my gamelist is already up to date. I close out of Track IR completely and restart. MS Flight Simulator 2020 is not listed anywhere, and when I enter the game TrackIR is not usable. I have tried with 5.4.0 and 5.4.2. The game list repeatedly says all game titles are already up to date. I have uninstalled, repaired and reinstalled multiple times with no changes. I have also restarted the computer completely. Fresh bootup and nothing will update, even running as administrator. Is there a way to manually install a new gameslist? I am only home 34-48 hours a week and am very frustrated that this seems to be so hard to get to work.
