Hi
Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately it did not work for me.
I have deleted Simconnect files on my windows installation on drive C: and reinstalled Simconnect via FSX repair and reinstalling service packs 1 and 2.
I found that the repair actually reinstalled FSX on my C: drive where my Windows XP lives.
I have my FSX and IL2 loaded on to my FlightSim drive G:
When I checked TrackIr5 operation it did not work with my FSX G: drive install but worked with my repaired C: drive FSX ?
So at this point it works with my basic FSX on C: drive but not my normal G: drive install, but does work with IL2 on G: drive ?
I am now wondering how to get it seeing FSX G: drive starting?
Thanks
Glenn

Re: Fsx not recognising TrackIR5
Hi again,
I finally cured my TIR problem with a total re-install of FSX.
I used the uninstall option on the FSX disk 1, then proceeded to thoroughly clean all traces of FSX from my comp, including all addons etc. then deleted the 3 simconnect files in the windows SXS folder (not advised by some...), then, finally a disk clean and defrag. On the re-install I simply loaded disk 1 + SDK, registered FSX then straight onto Acceleration + SDK install without starting the game at all.
Everything now works as advertised - Trackir 5 is superb, my menu bar problem is also cured (not showing add ons)and Captain Sims gauges now work again...
P.S I also use FSX on a different drive to my OS.
Hope this helps....
Regards

Re: Fsx not recognising TrackIR5
Did you delete the Simconnect folders, within the SXS folder, or just the files?
Re: Fsx not recognising TrackIR5
Hi Vincent
As you can see by my earlier reply my TrackIr5 is recognising my repaired (reinstalled) FSX on C: drive but does not recognise FSX on my flightsim drive G:. As my drive C: is almost full and runs slower than my new drive G: I want to get TrackIr5 to recognise my drive G: FSX.I have TrackIR5 software installed on drive G: and registry entry is correct for FSX on drive G:.My IL2 on drive G: is recognised OK.The Windows Simconect folders were removed and new ones installed when FSX was repaired (i.e reinstalled on drive C:)and the service packs reinstalled.So I am not sure if the new install of FSX on C: drive or the new Simconnect files got it working there.
Is there an FSX file I can copy from my C: drive FSX install across to my FSX G: drive that can get TrackIR5 working there ?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Glenn

Re: Fsx not recognising TrackIR5
Hi Vincent,
I deleted the 3 X86 folders within the SXS folder, simconnect 60905, 61242 and 61249.
As I also had other faults, i.e, Captain Sim gauges and the menu bar not displaying anything but FSUIPC, it is difficult to say what I did which may have cured things.
All I can recommend is to totally clean out any reference to FSX and associated add-ons. Checking the application data folders and the registry also.
I hope this helps
