TrackIR5.2 software issues

I recently started using TIR again, and installed the latest driver (5.2.x). I have found 2 issues:

- The program is not remembering the profiles I set for certain games. For example, I made a "Racing" profile and selected it for the game Project CARS, but the next time I run the TIR software again, the game is using the Default profile again.

- When I activate the "Racing" profile as mentioned above, the button that I assigned for centering TIR does not work (it's a button on the steering wheel). It does not center TIR and also re-assigning the button in the TIR software does not work, the program does not recognize input from the wheel at all (yet I had assigned it before).
Sometimes it suddenly recognizes input from the wheel, but I haven't found out how.

OK, after writing the above posting I quickly tried something and it seems that the program only detects wheel input if I start the TIR software after switching on the wheel.

Hello ReDi72,

Thank you for the update. I will look into it a little more, but I am glad that you have found a workaround.

Hello,

I have the same issue since I had to install the v5.2.2 for Prepar3D.

The software is not remembering the profile and setup (run on startup, run mnimize, etc).

The soft v4 was working very fine, but TrackIR is not working with P3D.

Thanks for the help.
Vincent

Vincent,

Does the TrackIR software recognize SimConnect or P3D when it is loaded? Have you tried removing and re-installing the TrackIR software?

Regards,

Hi,

I tried the version 5.2.0 but P3D is not working with it.

P3D only recognize TrackIR from the 5.2.1 version but both the versions 5.2.1 and .2 does not keep their settings.

Each time, I uninstall the precedent version, clean and install another one. I also launch everything as administrator, with the same result.

Regards,
Vincent

Vincent,

I tested 5.2 with P3D and it is working on my machine. As for the settings, have you gone into the NaturalPoint folder located in Program Files (x86), and deleted the Settings.XML? It should repopulate next time you open the software and create a new one with default settings.

Please test that out for me and let me know if it solves the settings problem.

Regards,

Vincent,

Are you using P3D v2.4 or v2.5?

Hi,

So I re-install the 5.2.2 version and erase the setting.xml.

After the restart, all the settings remain but not the Run on startup. And it's working with Prepar3D 2.4 (I am waiting infos from other users of the PMDG 777 with the 2.5 before installing it).

So, the run on startup is not working

Cheers,
Vincent
