Travis, great I am glad that it is working.

Dipper, Can I ask you a few questions and possibly answer a few at the same time.

Dipper do you have a HOTAS system like a x-45 or Cougar? If you do are you running it and or the TIR through a Hub (powered or unpowered).

If the answer is yes then please if you can run both the TIR and the HOTAS though a individual PC based USB or at least on seperate Hubs with low data/power devices like a mouse (you do not use a mouse in-flight so to speak).

One other thing, some motherboards have a connection so that front mounted USB ports can be used. These 'risers' can be biggy backed off the rear USB's giving the user the thought that they are on differnet ports, when they might not be.

The reason that I say this is that a HOTAS and TIR are both high data periferals, in that they are both sending a lot of data when in use and this can easilly overlad the data capacity of USB 1, 1.1, and 2, hence running them off different USB ports. I had this happen to me when I first got my TIR and inadvertantly tried to run it off the same port as my Cougar.

What a great way to celebrate Travis.
Even if you favorite game does not support 6DOF you will really notice a difference with the Vector.

It's (TIR) tracking precision is greatly improved.
