Does TrackIR conflict with FRAPS?

[ROBERT KELLEY]

I fly "Wings Over Flanders Fields" and lately I have been trying to do screen caps. with FRAPS. Before launching WOFF, I check TrackIR. The cross-hairs and the head icons function fine. I start up WOFF, I check off my mission parameters and click "Go To The Field" which puts me in the cockpit. I always look about to see what's happening on the field. TrackIR works fine. But within seconds of take-off, it locks up. The green light on the camera/projector turns amber, and there's no tracking motion at all. Then I close out of WOFF and re-visit the TrackIR UI. It remains locked up.

I've unplugged the ProClip USB and re-connected. The green light instantly came back on. I re-launched WOFF and, once again, got about 20 seconds (before wheels up. this time) before it went amber again.

I get the feeling that TrackIR conflicts with FRAPS since it worked pretty well when FRAPS wasn't on. Anyone else have this feeling?

Hello ROBERT KELLEY,

The only issue that I have ran into using FRAPS and TrackIR is that by default they both use the F9 key. I had to change that in both programs in order for mine to function. Being that in order to start recording with FRAPS was the same button to pause tracking with TrackIR. Try altering the hotkey assignments and test it out again.

Thank you, Mike. That was spot on. I changed the "Make Movie" key in FRAPS to the 'Z' key, and all is well.

ROBERT KELLEY,

I'm glad to hear that. Let me know if anything else comes up.
