TrackIR disables default hotkeys

Post by 159th_Falcon »

I have the following problem.
In the the games i play, mostly Lockon Flaming Cliffs 2, DCS black shark and DCS A10C (Beta's) you have radio menu's controlled by the Fx keys on the keyboard.

Though, the keys F7 F8 F9 and F12 are being used as hotkeys and thus don't work in the game.
I have tried mapping the hotkeys to, for example ctrl+0 ctrl+9 etc, so that it would not use any Fx keys and set the profile as exclusive.

Problem still persists though, i cant use the Fx keys that where originally assigned as default hotkeys in the mentioned games.
Very anoying to say the least.
I use TrackIR version 5.2 Beta so i have 64bit support in DCS A10C
Running on Windows 7 64bit

I did notice the following though, if i run the TIR software normally i can use the Fx keys in game, but TIR doesn't recognize the key presses, so if i use F12 for example it wont center.
If i run the TIR software in Administrator mode the problems is reversed. Fx keys are recognized by TIR but not by the game.

OK, this is something we are currently looking into, and hope to have resolved shortly.

One possible work around is to disable the trap functions in the One:One and Smooth profiles.

Please try the new Beta 3 release, which should address this problem:
