I followed everything here and my TrackIR still does not work under FSX.
I am running WinXP Pro SP2, FSX with Acceleration pack installed, TrackIR3 w/ VE. TrackIR software is latest, no updates available (TrackIR version 4.1 build 30). Kaspersky Antivirus (turned off during install and normal play) No firewall on this system (behind a firewall protected home network of computers).
TrackIR shows FSX listed in the profiles. I tried uninstall and resinstall methods shown here, but nothing worked yet. TrackIR works fine under LockON Flaming Cliffs, but not FSX w/ Accel Pack.

When you load FSX, does it show up in the TrackIR software, under current game (Main Tab)?

Not sure, but last night I uninstalled FSX and will be reinstalling it tonight and will keep you updated. I will also check to see if FSX shows up as you indicate, and let you know.

Thanks

I reinstalled FSX then SP1 only (without Acceleration Pack currently), and my TrackIr software shows the latest build (4.1 Build 30) and on the Main Tab for Current Game: None, even though the FSX mission window is open on the desktop.

Tried that, and had some new errors come up.
I guess I will try and reinstall again, making sure I do a proper cleanup.
I'll get back with you. For some reason this system doesn't seem to like FSX, yet I installed FSX, SP1, and Acceleration pack on another system (an AMD Dual Core System) and it works fine, including the TrackIR3 with FSX.
