Hello starbeta,

Would you please confirm that you have updated the Games list after updating the TrackIR software?

Kind Regards,

Affirmative. Game list was updated, TrackIR restarted. TrackIR worked itself, but no connection to DCS (single green light). At the moment rolled back to v. 5.4.2.

I am having the same issue. I have also updated my games list in the software. Still not working.

I can confirm that games update did not solve the issue.

I can confirm this. Game list has updated, and still no connection. Did a rollback to 5.5.0 and it worked fine. In v5.5.0 and before, when you used it in with DCS, the title on the Track IR UI would say 'BlackShark', but since 5.5.1, the title just says 'none'

Second this. Checked for game updates, as well. DCS doesn't recognize the device. Rolling back to 5.5.0. for now.

Edit to add: Can confirm TIR 5.5.0.137 works fine with DCS 2.9.7.59263.

Hi Jillian,

Is it possible to explain what is the Game List?

Thanks.

I had the same issue, but through the settings page in windows, completely uninstalled the 5.4.2 drivers as well as the Track IR software, and then reinstalled 5.5.1. TIR at least was recognized after that.
Originally prior to doing this, Track IR completely disappeared from the controls page in DCS, and I know some folks had to do the rescan devices button on the controls page in DCS for TIR to work once again.
