Reflecting off my glasses?

I have had TRIR 5 since December, it has been working great but lately I think the overhead light in my room where I fly FSX is causing it to reflect off my glasses and intermittently it causes the cockpit to become erratic for a second then go back to normal.

Is there a setting I can change?

I have UAC off, Win 7 64, FSX Gold, latest drivers for PC and TRIR.

Thanks.

Eagle33,

You can go into the advanced settings section, select the camera tab and adjust the light filter threshold. I had the same issue and once I increased the threshold to 220+ I didn't have the problem any longer.

Still happening. I tried it with the lights off in my office, no help, I turned the setting all the way up to max, no help. The ONLY way to stop it is to remove my glasses, works every time so I know it's my glasses. Unfortunately I don't wear contacts.

Please advise.

Eagle33,

Could you post a screenshot of the camera view so I can see what I'm up against? How high did you turn the light filter threshold up to? What is the IR LED brightness currently set at?

Well there's no way I could post a screenshot as it happens so fast. It will flick to one view then back to normal really fast. But it's very annoying.

It only happens when I turn my head to the left or right looking at the screen.

And it ONLY happens when I wear my glasses with the overhead light on OR off.

Also, there is no sunlight anywhere near this room as the sun never enters into it. Besides, like I said, remove my glasses it's okay but then I'm blind basically.

Light filter threshold is at max of 253

IR LED brightness = 15.
