I'm afraid that I also have to join the "having nothing but trouble with "Flight Sim X" club.

I have spent 2 days now trying everything that I have seen on this forum to get FSX working with TrackIR.
(Repaired Flight Sim X and Acceleraton Pack , Deleted and Re-installed Flight Sim X, Acceleration and TrackIR drivers (newest ones), making sure that Track is in Admin mode, the Windows sxs fix, tried Vector, Pro making sure that I was using correct settings, updated PC's drivers etc),

EVERYTHING else that should work work with TrackIR on my PC does work, its just Flight Sim X that wont have it.

I'm right out of ideas to be honest I am fed up of this messing about.
This matter needs sorting by Natural Point as thee are plenty of people complaining about the same thing.

I will probably bin Flight Sim X now until Natural Point release a fix for this which seeing the number of people that are having problems with it, surely has to be a priority.

PS/... Oh, hello folks.

Have you tried plugging the TrackClip Pro, and the TrackIR in seperately?

OK, you are having a seperate issue.

What version of Windows are you using?

Running any firewall/antivirus software?

[Dave Harris]

Hello Vincent.
I am running Vista Home premium 32 bit and using Avast Anti virus and Windows Vista firewall.

I am pleased to say that I have now resolved my issue.

I ran the SFC /scannow system files check and it showed that there were some corrupt system files that could not be repaired.
I then used a Hard Drive back up program called Paragon Hard Disk Manager to restore the hard drive from the last backup I made, which was done before I purchased my Track Ir.

Doing this and a new install of the Track Ir software has sorted my problem with Flight Sim X.

The Track Ir program still tends to "crash" now and then and I was wondering if it should be used with the Windoxs XP mode enabled or not.

Thanks for your help.
Davy

No, it should work fine in standard Vista install.

Are you running any software in the background, other than the firewall/anti-virus stuff?

[Dave Harris]

Startup programs on my PC are Windows defender, Razer copperhead mouse, , Avast anti virus and the Microsoft Office "GrooveMonitor" thingy.

[VincentG]

The crashing could be a conflict with one of the other applications running in the background.
