TrackIR too heavy

Post by jgoggi »

Hi,
Are there any plans to make TrackIR 4 work with drivers installed on another computer FSWide-connected to the one where the device is plugged? This would reduce the fps impact.
Or is there a way to avoid that TIR uses too many resources? I have FS2004 and on my system it runs at about 15 fps, but with TIR they reduce to about 11-12.
Thanks,
James

What type of system are you running?

Which version of the TrackIR software?

What version of Windows?

Hi Vincent, sorry for the late reply. I have the latest version of TIR software (4.1.030, but no changes with 028).
My system is a Pentium IV-3.2 GHz, 2 Gb Ram, ATI Radeon 9800 video card, Win XP Pro, FS9.1.
Thank you,
James

Ah, I just have to add that I don't use antivirus, nor any other background programs. Everything is on the other computer WideFS-connected.

I'm not aware of any plans to have the software running on a remote system.

Generally speaking the unit itself does most of the image processing, and should use between 0-2 % of system resources.
