EDIT: Nevermind guys, I think we've tracked done to an BMS bug, not a TrackIR one.

If you guys could, please check out this thread for me:
http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/show ... hp?t=56389

It's about a program called F4Glass that some Falcon guys use to get flight instruments on extra monitors (myself included). One of the users just got a TrackIR2 and says that when he runs the software, it overwrites the shared memory file that F4Glass uses. The programmer of F4Glass is responding in the thread that he would like your input on how your file mapping code works for a possible fix.

For the life of me, I can't remember if I've ran my TrackIR2 and F4Glass at the same time. As hard it is for me to believe that I haven't, I can't remember a time I've had all of my stuff running at once because I'm still in the building phase of my home cockpit. Right now, I can't replicate this bug because I'm on vacation and away from my home computers. But I'll be back home tomorrow.

Thanks for checking it out for me!

I have forwarded this post over to Birch.

Looking for feedback on what is happening with Falcon 4. What do you guys think of the new Falcon 4 IR Gold? Are all the patches combined so TrackIR2 support isn't such a pain? Do we need to get involved to make things better?

As for TrackIR support in Falcon, it beyond my wildest dreams! The 3D cockpit is just like any other enhanced mode supprorted 3D cockpit! There is even a pretty good 2D cockpit support where TrackIR functions like a POV hat. And it is all pretty easy to turn on. I'd say a job well done! It as seems like that more Falcon guys are buying the TrackIR2 now (I told 'em they'd like it a long time ago hehe).
