Trackmapper no longer works on Windows 10/11 — any modern alternatives or fix available?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been a long-time TrackIR user and used to rely heavily on Trackmapper back in the Windows 7 days to fine-tune motion curves and visualize real-time head tracking data. It was an invaluable tool for adjusting the feel and responsiveness of TrackIR in flight sims and racing setups.

However, since moving to Windows 10 (and later 11), Trackmapper no longer runs properly — it either crashes on startup or fails to detect TrackIR input. I’ve already tried:

Running in compatibility mode (Win7 / Win8)

Installing older .NET Framework versions

Running as Administrator

None of these seems to help.

So I’d love to ask the community:

Has anyone managed to get Trackmapper working reliably on Windows 10 or 11?

Are there modern alternatives (open-source or otherwise) that can provide similar curve mapping, live data visualization, or custom response tuning for TrackIR?

It feels like a great tool was lost to time, and I’m hoping someone might’ve reverse-engineered or recreated something similar in recent years.

Any insights, downloads, or project links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and keeping the legacy tools alive!

Hey Alina,
Yes, Trackmapper was fantastic for fine-tuning responsiveness — I miss it too. I ran into the same compatibility issues on Windows 11, and the only partial workaround I found was running it inside a Windows 7 virtual machine (using VirtualBox). It’s not perfect, but it lets you at least visualize and tweak curves, then manually replicate them in TrackIR profiles.
