TrackIR blocks out hotkeys when trying to chat or type text!

Post by TzeffNL »

When using certain keys to pause or center TrackIR, TrackIR, stops me from using those keys in any other *program! (*even in the simulation itself!)

Example, If I'm in a simulator and want to chat with someone, even outside of the simulator(!) or work on a text document and I have "T" set to pause TrackIR, and "C" to cener TrackIR, TrackIR won't allow me to use T and C when text-chatting or working on a document.

So, chatting with someone during a simulation is really annoying, because I can't use numbers or letters that are blocked by TrackIR.

Can the developers fix this bug, so that trackIR doesn't block out other programs from using the "hotkeys"?

TzeffNL,

The keys are activated through the TrackIR software and not the sim itself. That means the key has to be used universally across the system. If you go into the TrackIR software and uncheck "trap" it will allow you to use the key everywhere, though each time it's pressed it will perform the assigned task. You can type using all keys this way, but T will pause/unpause each time it is pressed.
