"head" jerks to back left

Post by avengingllama »

Hey folks, my trackir is having an issue that I can't seem to resolve :( I built a new system about a month or so ago but dont remember if it has worked properly on the new system, thought it did but not sure. Tried to fire up a flight sim a few weeks ago and that is when I "found" my problem. When I turn my head even a little bit to the left, my view jerks to the back left like I am trying to look oat something over my left shoulder. This happens in all of my flight sims and if I go to view heads in the trackir software. The thing is, if I view "tracking" in the view option in the trackir software everything looks normal even if I turn my head to the left. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software several times and the different USB ports. Have not done anything in the registry because I am afraid of screwing something up. Please help as I LOVE my trackir and I bought it April 30 of last year, tried playing Falcon without and could not stand it....lol. Also, I tested it on a different system and it works fine with the latest drivers.
System specs for the system that is having issues:
Trackir4 pro w/usb clip
intel e8400
EVGA 780i mobo
EVGA 8800gt
2 gb corsair XMS ram (pc6400)
Soundblaster X-fi audio extreme
PC power and cooling 750w
Saitek x52 HOTAS
Thrustmaster USB pedals
Logitech g15 KB
Logitech MX1000 mouse

Also, not sure this is the right forum as my trackir software shows vector support but I don't remember installing anything seperately?

Have you adjusted the different profiles for TrackClip Pro, instead of vector clip? (default, flight, ect.)

In the tracking screen do you see the three green dots, in a fairly vertical line?

Any red dots?

Is the camera on the left side of the monitor?
