Hello!
Please, if you could offer me some advice on what to try next.
In device manager everything is fine, no question marks nor exclamation marks, I see TrackIR3 under Naturalpoint Devices. I pointed TrackIR3 to npusbio_x64 and installed the latest driver (2.70). When I plug/unplug USB, i hear the bell... And yet, there's no red light in the TrackIR sensor and the app says No device detected.
I downgraded the driver to the previous one, but to no avail.
Every time I re/install the drivers, I clean the registry from everything that contains the words TrackIR and/or NaturalPoint.
All of that happened just like that... no installing the Windows or something...
Please, if you could guide me with a tip or something!?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Hrvoje,

The TrackIR3 was discontinued about 20 years ago, and we no longer provide support for this product. As a result, we have not tested the newer versions of the TrackIR software (i.e. 5.5.0 and above) with the TrackIR3 or TrackIR4. Have you tried reinstalling version 5.4.2 (you can download it here: https://www.trackir.com/downloads/)?

Kind Regards,

Just a quick reply that trackIR 3 works great, still, but only up to 5.4.2

I do understand it's a very old version, but if it ain't broke, and all that

If there's any possibility that you could add the flag for trackIR 3 in your latest software, that'd be really great

Many thanks

Hello DrWig,

At this time, we do not have any plans to update the TrackIR software to work with the TrackIR 3. Please note that the TrackIR 3 is more than 20 years old. It should work with versions up to 5.4.2.

If you are interested in purchasing a TrackIR5, you may want to reach out to our sales team directly and let them know you are an existing TrackIR 3 user.

Kind Regards,

Hrvoje, try testing the TrackIR3 on another PC to rule out hardware failure and ensure the USB port provides sufficient power.
