Hello I do have the same problem like mojo.

Track Ir work fine expect when I look right and down the view stick to the right and do not center again.(however it work fine if I look left)

I must pass my hand in front of the tracking device to make it work properly again.

I run the latest version of the software (4.1.036) the Track clip pro is selected in all the profile, the tracking device is on the left of the screen and when I check the detection its all centered.

The problem happens on Lock On flamming clif and IL2 1946.
I run windows vista home 32
Core2 duo E8500

Thanks if you can help.

For light filtering, try adjusting the settings to about 100 (View -> Tracking -> Settings)

When the software "locks", are the objects being lost on the tracking screen?

I had the exact same problem. What profile are you using? The problem for me occurred only when I tried to use one of the premade profiles (CFS3). I finally just hit "New," checked the default "Combat Flight" box, and it worked perfectly. No tweaking even needed.

You might give that a try.

And the winner is .... Queeg.

I try the removing and reinstaling of the software as proposed by Vincent but the problem was still there.

So I try what Queeg suggest, I create a new profile and so far so good, it seems the problem has disepeared.

thanks to both of you Vincent and Queeg.

I too have the same problem, it would appear to be a software issue. Are there any patches in the pipeline?
