TrackIr & LockOn stopped working, please help

Post by sifusun »

Hello and thanks for reading my cry of help

I have a big problem! My whole TrackIr3 history:

----------------------------------------------

1) Bought trackir 4 weeks ago. Installed device on pc. Installed newest software (4.1.).

2) Tested Track IR (heads - window) Worked fine!

3) Started my game LockOn Flaming Cliffs - worked instantly fine !!!!!

..... play some weeks....(no updats, no changes on key-commands, etc.).....

-------------------------------------------

4) TrackIR 3 (Software Track Ir 4.1 Vers28) stopped working in the game (Lock On - Flaming Cliffs (V. 1.12))

... the hardware LEDs looks quite good (red, green(=VE is recognized), blue(=game does handle TrackIr Vector Exp. !) is lit !!!)

... Hardware works fine, TrackIR-Software works fine : I can see the virtual heads moving properly !!!

... BUT in the game I can�t move my views with the TrackIr Unit !!!!

... I didn�t change anything, it stopped working without a reason (I did not changed key, updates, etc. ) :-(

Please help me out



1000 thanks, yours Sun

Hello again...

I have discovered another funny thing: I installed another game (Aces2) and: It works in this other game, mmmmhhh.

So: Anybody knows what is wrong with Track Ir and the game "Lock On" ???? (It worked a long time - why does it stop???)

Please help, thanx a lot
