TIR3 Pro and FS9. A solution (french version)

[DanFlyingAnvil]

Hello,

First, sorry for my very bad english. It's mine, not a translator, i assume.

But i think i have a temporary solution for those who have an" non english" version of FS9. I understand that the problem come from the text "cockpit virtuel", for french version, which appear on the screen.
This text is stored in the "language.dll" file at the root of FS9. This is not legal, but i modify this Microsoft dll. Now when i switch in VC, the text is in english : "virtual cockpit". So the track IR 3 pro will works fine. Now, I have just to tune my FS9 profile for my convinience.
I use a little program to modify the dll : ResHacker, a little prog i found on the net. I don't know if i can put the URL in my post. Please tell me, but whith Google no problem.

Take care to backup the "language.dll" file before modify.

Open the file in ResHacker, open the "String table" directory, open "2341" and "1036". Modify the text in the right windows, just the "virtual" one. That's all. Save it in a new place, copy the file at the root of FS9, replace the original file.Enjoy the virtual view !
I tried to put an screen shot, but i can't, sorry.

I repeat, it's just a temporary solution, the good way is a new TrackIR soft with the correction. So don't forget to backup !
I have order the vector expansion, but i have not it yet, so i haven't try it with my mod, but i think it's no matter.
Good flights !

My serial : N� 23201.

Superb !
Your temporary solution works fine . I just tried it few seconds ago and the 6DOF has been enbaled right away.

I think this is a good intermediate solution for forieghn FS2004 versions...

Thanks for allowing me now to enjoy the 6DOF after one week of mild frustration.
