No enhanced mode and center key in IL2_FB+AEP

[NN_Shane]

hi, i'm a buyer of a track IR2 from 2 weeks and i have a strange problem..

i have tested my TIR2 at job (i'm graphist at ubisoft) and it works perfectly with IL2_FB in relative and absolute mode..
all the keys works perfectly (center view, change mode(relative and absolute) activate, desactivate..
but at my house where i play more often.. the TIR2 works strangely..

under windows desktop no problem all is ok..
but when i launch IL2_FB and i'm flying.. only the relative mode works..
(i have tested with the paremeter in CONF.INI trackIRuse=0 or =1 nothing change)
and the center key don't work (i have verified under the commands of FB if there is no key that collapse with trackir software but there is no problem)

the version of the software i use is: 3.03 (the latest available on your site)
my OS:WinXP Pro SP1a
my system:

P4 2.8B 1024Mo of DDR3200 MOBO asus P4SE chipset sis6445, Geforce 4 ti 4600 with 45.23 nvidia drivers (the latest that works well with IL2_FB and the geforce4) the more recent drivers don't permit to see the perfect settings in FB with a geforce4
a microsoft sidewinder force feed back 2 a track IR2 from naturalpoint buyed at edimensional (england)
my track ir2 is conencted at one USB 1.1 port directly on the motherboard

have you an idea where is the problem ? i have tested many many times differents settings and i dont find the problem..

to compare at my job where all works perfectly i have:
BI Xeon 2Gghz 512MO of DDR2700 a geforce4 ti 4400 an asus MOBO (i don't know the model) and usb 1.1 port directly on the motherboard. and sidewinder force feed back 1 and the same driver for the track IR2
and windows 2000 pro SP4

if this is usable for you.. prior to now.. i have windows 200pro SP4 and when i install the track IR2 my system detect an usb device but never a trackir device..
after 3 hours to test i format my hard drive and install windows xp pro and the track ir is detected perfectly.. very strange you don't think ?

Thanks for your opinion about this.. my problem is now to center the view under IL2_FB and if possible to activate the absolute mode..

Thanks..

Sorry that I don't have a solution but I can report the same problem with Lock On: Modern Air Combat.

The system works OK with IL2/FB and Strike Fighters 1 but I can only get the relative mode working with LOMAC. Get the blue light and green LED, but no movement at all - have to revert to mouse and hatswitch.

The solution to your problem may solve mine as well. Any helpers out there?

Jezzadog,

If you are playing Lock-on there is one thing that you have to remember and that is if you are running Lock-on after the instalation of the 1.01_Patch you must uncheck the box for "cockpit mouse option" to enable TrackIR to work! This can be found under Options/Cockpit of the LO-MAC settings screen.

If you have not installed the patch (then you should) and if you don't then you need to check the box for "cockpit mouse option"

This should solve your problem

I'm getting the same issue with IL2 FB + AEP.

No 'blue' mode and the centre key isn't recognised.

Magic Man,

This could be a corrupt profile. Have you tried making another profile for IL2.

Check in the "Hotkeys" screen that "Motion Mode" and "Center" both have On/Off checked and Trap Key.

If you are still have problems then please e-mail me and I will send you a new IL2 profile.
