Sfx doesn't recognize TIR

[rigel1610]

Hi,

Got my Track IR 4 Pro for a few days now. It never worked with FSX (no blue LED - means not detected, right?), but it worked with the ship sim demo.

At least until today...

I now have problems with it too.(since i've changed the joystick from standard to saitek x52 in the options). Can't get the "cockpit view" anymore.


Should FSX detect it from himself?
Do i have to activate something?

Need some help...

We have released a version of our software to support the final version of FSX. You will need to download the latest version of the software.
Run the downloaded installer file. If you haven�t uninstalled the previous version, it will run through an uninstall application first.
If you had to run the uninstaller, rerun the downloaded file to install the latest version.
Start the TrackIR software. You can run the software minimized by adjusting the TrackIR settings under the Options menu.
Start FSX.
Enjoy the new features of FSX, with TrackIR support

Wich version? 4.1.029?
Already tried it... even the 4.1.030 beta2.

None did work...

Either one has support for FSX.

Someone some hint to resolve the problem??

Doesn't work at all with Fsx...

Are you getting the blue light enabling, on the TrackIR unit, when FSX is running?

[rigel1610]

No, i don't. (See first question of the topic)

I tried to reinstall both programs a few times now just in case, but there is no change at all...

TIR is working properly with the ship demo but not with FSX

I just don't get it...

OK, one step to try�.

1 - Delete the following file folder

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9

2 - Insert the FSX CD, and run the repair utility. Basically we are looking to reinstall the folder.

3 - Hopefully this should remedy the issue.

Please let me know if this helps.

Ok. Now Fsx does recognize TIR: i've got the blue Led enable, but it does not track while playing the game.

Status:tracking

but not still not working.

Many new Flight Simulator add-on products connect to Flight Simulator X (FSX) via the new SimConnect Application Programming Interface (API). When you run FSX with an add-on installed, some non-Microsoft firewall and antivirus applications (such as ZoneAlarm) may detect that FSX is attempting to make a network connection and display a dialog asking you to allow or block this connection.

This �network connection� is necessary for the add-on to connect with FSX. It�s a local connection between the add-on and FSX (via a network localhost/127.0.0.1 connection), and does not involve a connection to the Internet. Be assured: FSX is not trying to send personal data about you through the Internet.

Note that Microsoft Windows Firewall will not exhibit this behavior. It will, however, alert you if an add-on is actually trying to access the Internet.

In order for your FSX add-on to work properly with FSX you MUST allow this connection to be made. If you do not allow the connection to be made, the add-on you are trying to run (and all subsequent add-ons that connect to FSX through the SimConnect API) will not work properly.

Some non-Microsoft firewall and antivirus applications will block this "localhost" connection between an add-on and FSX automatically, without any notification. In this case, you must configure the firewall or antivirus application to include both FSX and the add-on (specifically, the fsx.exe file and the addon's .exe file, if it has one) in the list of �trusted exceptions.� If this is not done, the add-on will not work properly with FSX. Please refer to the documentation for your specific firewall or antivirus application for details on how to add programs to the list of trusted exceptions.
