Some assistance, please!

[Arby31]

Hello,
I just got my first ever TIR and it's the 4pro w/vector. I've got it installed and seems to be working because it says tracking down in the lower left corner. My problem is that it doesn't seem to want to work in my game, and i play Forgotten Battles with Ace expansion and Pacific Fighters, version 4.04m. In the main TIR window it says current game: none, is this my problem? If so could somebody assist me in correcting this? I have looked around these forums and i just can't seem to find what i need.

Thanks,


Edit: TIR serial #046708 with the latest software

Are you launching the TrackIr software before you load the game? Does the blue light come on at all?

Yep, i'm launching TIR software before loading the game. I do have a nice bright green at the top, 4 red LED's but, no blue light comes on at the bottom as game loads.

Edit: I did try a uninstall and reinstall and as i was doing my reinstall i noticed that the blue did blink a few times but, still having same issue. This is a copy of install log from the beginning, there is some kind of error there, i hope it helps. I tried switching USB ports and even tried the NPREG utility, it said there wasn't anything to fix. Also, the TrackIR mouse emulation works, blue light does come on.

Somebody please tell me, did i waste $200.00 on this thing?

[Arby31]

Rick,
Just to let you know i have made some progress. I went to the IL2 section in these forums and found something to try with my IL2 config file and the unit now works in game but, is the vector supposed to work in IL2?

I'll do more testing, Thanks!

2DOF is only supported with IL2. What changes did you make to get it functioning?

I went to this section of my IL2 config file.

[rts]
;ProcessAffinityMask=1
mouseUse=2
joyUse=1
trackIRUse=1 <--- I changed this value from 0 to 1
DisableIME=0
locale=

I hope the unit continues to function and although you didn't get a chance to help me a whole lot, i do appreciate the replies!!

Thank You Rick!!
