I have the latest drivers with my trackIR Pro 3/V.E, and in FS2004 I get 6DOF- Fine.
I recently downloaded the Golden Wings add on, and then found that trackir did not work in that.
So I went to the modules folder of FS2004 and I saw a trackir -2002. dll, so I copied that into the modules folder of G.W. install and then, on start up, I am asked if I want to load this dll.
If I say yes, I get Trackir to work but only in 2DOF.
When I load FS2004, I get asked the same question. I say no but TrackIR still works , and at full 6DOF too.
So there is an instruction somewher in FS2004 that allows 6DOF to work? Can I copy that to the G.W. install?
If so, what is it and where do i find it, please ?
TIA
Can Golden Wings use 6DOF ?
Re: Can Golden Wings use 6DOF ?
Does the GW install change the language.dll file for FS2004?
The dll file was intended only for use with FS2002, or with the older version of the TrackIR software required a dll file to work with FS2004. This was resolved with the 4.1.xx version of the software.
When issuing in 6DOF mode - Is it just the planes from GW that aren't in 6DOF?

I'm not sure what this means - sorry- nota techie-lol

Aha- that is why when asked if I want to use trackir2002.dll, and i say no, that 6DOF still works in FS2004!

No, no trackir works in Golden Wings, on any plane- even the cessna
Is there a folder or file in FS2004 that I should copy to Golden wings ? When Golden wings was "made" from FS2004, something was removed from FS2004, was it not? Or am i on the wrong track? - (sorry re pun! )
BTW - thanks for your efforts here and happy Xmas

I'm not aware of anything being removed.
It should just work, as long as you are in the VC mode.

Vincent S!
I don't know if i explained it fully.
6DOF works fine in FS2004.
Trackir of any sort only works in the Golden wings add on, if I load the trackir 2002.dll when invited to on load up of Golden wings. And as you will know, that only does 2 DOF, yes?
Golden wings is an add on, which when first installed uses the FS2004 installation, and creates a sort of separate flight sim with its own exe.
So, I assumed that parts of FS2004 were duplicated to make the golden wings install, and that therefore something was missed viral to trackir working in Golden wings as 6DOF?.
cheers

Re: Can Golden Wings use 6DOF ?
It may only support 2 DOF, due to the way it modifies the exe, and dll files.
Re: Can Golden Wings use 6DOF ?
Ah, I see. Thanks for the prompt replies.
In my layman's way I was wondering if there could be a file copied from FS2004 to GW to make GW behave like FS2004 in respect of 6DOF ?-lol.
Because I thought it was only terrain and scenery and such that they would have modified from FS2004?
Ah well, I tried Thanks again and happy New year

No issues.
