Problem : Erratic tracking

Post by Camel »

Hello all, I just got my TrackIR 3 Pro + vector expantion today. I installed the latest driver from the web site, restarted then ran TrackIR. I ticked the tick box for Flight in the available profiles and when I click edit to view the heads, gauges and tracking, all is super smooth and accurate. the tracking box has 3 well defined green rectangles with no other light polution displayed. The do what I expect them to do smoothly. So I click OK and close to tray TrackIR, start FS2004 or Pacific Fighters and much to my supprise tracking in the virtual cockpits is hugly errattic with big jumps and long pauses, 4/5 sec or so. There is also a good deal of flickering (which stops when i move the hat out of view of the TrackIR unit. I don't have active camera installed). In FS I key assignments I removed look/pan keyboard/joystick assignments to revent the TrackIR fighting the stick. I dont' know what else to try, any ideas?
Thanks

Hiya Mate.
If you have not moved the Trackir to about 3 feet from your head,try it! I have no more problems and I was having very similar problems as yours.

Agreed, move it further away. I found around 30-36 inches away from your head, and about the same height as the top of your head or about 2" higher is good.
