OK this is a basic as it gets!
I've read the pdf manual and did a quick search here but can't figure this out.
There is a long list of games that support TrackIR5 in the Titles tab of the software.
I figured out how to set mine as favorites.
But how do I load them to use use?
I must be missing something very obvious!
Thanks

Re: How to load a profile?
All of the games in the Titles list are those that you can use your TrackIR with out of the box. They will automatically connect and be enabled when you start the game up, as long as the TrackIR software is running beforehand. (There are a few exceptions with extra steps, like Arma 2 for instance, which also requires you to activate TrackIR in the Arma 2 controller menu.) You don't need to load anything to start using TrackIR in those games.
However, if you want to, you can create a variety of profiles within the TrackIR software (customized and created on the Profiles tab). This isn't necessary, but it will enable you to customize the motion to your liking--even to the point of creating a unique feel for each different game you play. If you do this, and you want to tie a specific profile to a specific game, you can do this on the Titles tab. Just locate the game, and select the profile you want to map to it from the dropdown menu to the right.
Again, this second process is optional, but available. But for basic functionality, it should be plug-and-play.
One other thing to keep in mind: If you're using Vista or Win7, make sure that both the game and the TrackIR software are running on the same permission level (i.e. both on "run as admin" or both running normal).
Hope this helps!
