Sometimes it works properly, sometimes not

[Filaw]

Hi,


after one year using my trackir 4 6DOF, it started to be quite unstable.

Explanation:

In-game,it looks like i never had a trackir machine. No motion at all, but green light's over there.
In software of Trackir, it is like a regular properly working machine. Motions are cool. Response of every button i set up before.
When i played a game 2 howers ago, it was all OK. Strange !

So this is number 1 problem.



Number 2 is setting of motions - editting yaws, pitches etc.
Sometimes, i cant get a smooth or fluent motion. Strange is, when it was working properly before, i have not change anything and it was changed by itselfs.



I use WinXP with updated trackir software


So what's the advice gentlemen ?


thanks

Well.....

1 - What gaming applications are you using, refering to?

2 - When it is erratic, if you look at the tracking screen, do you just have the 3 green? Any red?

[Filaw]

game is il-2 sturmovik 1946
It's erratic in-game. It act like there is no trackir.

I always get 2 silver and 1 green

Before some time it scratched so i bought new (same) reflective tape. Also strange, but these all problems started before short time.



What's with the 2nd problem sir?

[VincentG]

In the profile that you are using for IL2 (default is combat flight) do you have TrackClip Pro, Vector, or dot selected?

[Filaw]

DOT + Truview ..

[VincentG]

select vector, if you are using the metal clip, with the 3 reflectors.

Dot is only for a single reflector tracking.

[Filaw]

if i choose "vector" , it's not working. I mean, motion is really bad.



Fact is, I reinstalled the software and from that time it started be OK in all the ways.

OK........
