CFS3/OFF and TIR hassles

Post by Stonehouse »

I've been using TIR2 for about the last 3 years and upgraded to TIR4 in the last week. It works perfectly in everything I've tried except CFS3 and OFF. Basically the TIR4 unit appears ready with the green light at the top but it never seems to pick up the profile and switch on the vector enhanced blue and it will not track my head. IE appears as if the game doesn't recognise the TIR unit. I could get TIR2 to work ok with TIRattack1.6.

I've today reinstalled both TIR4 with the drivers from the website and CFS3 patched to 3.1a but no luck at all.

I did notice that in the TIR software it says CFS3 version 3.1 is the required version and since I'm down to clutching at straws I wondered if I've stuffed things by patching it to 3.1a??

Any thoughts or help please.

Thanks.

Cheers,

I will have to see... Is 3.1a a new patch released recently?

Hi Rick,
I'm not 100% sure exactly when it came out but I believe it's been out for at least a year.

Ok well, I uninstalled the whole lot again and reinstalled it but this time around only patched CFS3 to 3.1 but it still wouldn't start tracking. Not even 2DOF let alone 6.

Any thoughts?

Sorry should have added that the O/S is W2k SP2 and the TIR driver is version 4.1 build 28 as downloaded from the web site. View control via the joystick coolie hat does work by the way.

Some extra info perhaps from my install log. Are any of these errors listed something that would stop CFS3 working with TIR4 and if so what can I do about it?
