I`m using Trackir 3 and the vector expansion with it. Ver 4.1 Build 38.

Ahh, the pictures say it all. There's a reflective strip front and center on the Track Hat that was mainly for dot tracking. Since it's been cleaned, it's now showing up just as bright as the reflectors on your clip, so TrackIR can't tell the difference. Cover that strip on the bill of the hat with something (masking tape works wonders), and it'll block it from the camera's view.

BRILLIANT that did it. Yet I never covered it before. How come its being picked up now? Because its been cleaned.

I can honestly say I don't know.
Feels like plastic.
