Flight sims not supported

Post by Bill Preston »

Received trackIR pro 3 about 10 days ago, and found it to be a lot easier to set up and a lot less touchy than the original trackIR.

I have a lot of flight sims on the computer and wonder if CFS1,2, and 3, Jetfighter 5, and Secret Weapons over Normandy will be added to the list of supported programs.

Cant answer your question but using the keymapper utillity you can probably get those games working with the TrackIR in some fashion.

Bill,

As it stands having support for CFS1/2 & 3 will not happen, this is due to Microsoft not releasing the SDK for the sim.

But like Charlie said have you tried the TrackMapper?
It maybe possible to use PPJOY and associated utilities to achieve this goal...Mmmm may be I need to look at this.

As for the other sims that you mentioned, I would need to check.

I tried the Trackmapper in CFS3 and while it worked ok looking L & R all the way back you cant get up and down views as CFS3 wont allow 45 deg views up & down.

A friend sent me this URL for a Keyboard emulator for TrackIR EnhancedMode:
http://kaf.tri6.net/trackmapper/

The guy that developed it uses it with WWII Online, so it must work.

I beleive that is the one I used for Ghost Recon and Mechwarrior 4.

CFS3 is now fully complient with the Vector Expansion.

Looks like you got your wish.
