I stopped using TrackIR for a few months and now FS9 VC doesn't move at all when I use the hat. Everything shows good, LED's on, the heads moving correctly but the VC just stares straight ahead. It used to work great!

I'm sure it's something I've forgotten but can someone tell me what it is?

Edit:

I just re-installed the TrackIR and now the heads move correctly when I have FS9 paused and in the tray. As soon as I pop open FS9 the heads freeze for a bit then jerk around different directions. FS9 doesn't follow the jerks but does jump around as well.

Followup: I removed Active Camera DLL from the modules as per the tips page and still had the problem.

BUT

As I was experimenting I brought up the Luscombe bush plane and TIR worked. Fairly smooth but with a few jerks. I then tried many other aircraft and no other (so far) have worked.

I'm still working on it.

What is the Serial # of the device?
Should be located on the end of the cable, near the USB plug, or on the underside of the device.

Could you send us a copy of the Setupapi.log file?
It should be located in the C:\Windows folder

Have you tried the device on another system?

Are you plugging in directly to the system, or are you using a hub?

Have you tried isolating the device on the USB ports?

Could you attach a screen shot of your device manager, and tracking screen?

To make Print Screen work, you must save an image of what's displayed on-screen to the clipboard and then paste it into a document where it can be printed.

Windows Help: Print Screen

To do this, follow this procedure:

1. Maximize the window you'd like to capture.
2. To copy/capture the current window, hold down ALT + Print Scrn at the same time. To capture the entire screen, just press Print Scrn alone.
3. Open a new document in MS Paint, MS Word, MS Photo Editor, or Adobe PhotoShop.
4. Paste the screen shot by holding down CTRL and V at the same time.
5. Save the document as a .JPG or .JPEG file and send it in.
