Axes reversed!

Post by Mr_Blastman »

This morning I decided to reinstall my USB drivers for my motherboard since I found it was not using 2.0 support for a number of my devices (not to mention I was tired of that box popping up saying I should plug my TIR 4 into a 2.0 port to get better performance... thing is - it IS plugged into one).

Well, all went well in the reinstall, and then I plugged in the TIR 4, told windows to automatically install the TIR 4 driver... went into the TIR 4 software and... well... My axes are ALL reversed, except up and down (this is the only axis that works normally).

I reinstalled the TIR 4 software (uninstall, re-install) multiple times to no avail.

They're reversed!

Now, you'll probably say just click the reverse box in the software. That is easy enough... BUT - I have many different TIR profiles set up already - and will have to manually edit each one, and solve this via software emulation rather than the axes being detected properly in the first place - like they used to be.

I'm stumped - any help here to get it normalized would be appreciated.

System specs:

X2 4400+, 7900 GTX, 2 gigs ram, Windows XP SP 2, TIR 4 etc

I do not have a Track Clip Pro, and I am using the latest TIR Software, version 4.1.030 Final B

Look in the folling location, and see if the TrackIR set set to anything besides 0.

TrackIR software -> View -> Tracking -> Settings. Normally, the camera rotation should be set to 0.

Hmmmm....

So the View -> Tracking screen is still showing just the 3 green dots, no red.

1 dot on top, 2 underneath.....

Vector selected in the profiles, not TrackClip Pro?

Yup, the tracking screen shows just the 3 dots, one on top two underneath - it is just when I move my head their direction of movement is reversed on the left and right axis.

Vector? Not sure what you mean here - but yes, I'm not using a trackclip pro.

In the profiles, flight, default, etc., is vector selected?

Yes, Vector is selected in all my profiles... Apologize for the delay.

Any ideas?
