Hello again Diddy,
(edit)
Sorry for this snag, but I will look into it, and make a note on the website asap. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

eep,
I may have spoken too soon!
I forgot that i'm running on a 64bit machine.
One of our developers walked in and got Tir2Joy and Keymapper working instantly with new software.
I'm testing on several machines.
more in a few minutes, diddy.

Alrighty,
I definitely spoke too soon.
Now i'm much more up to speed.
Tir2joy and TrackMapper should work with TrackIR 4 (hardware and v4 software).
When creating a new virtual joystick in ppjoy, did you let winXP go through it's auto add hardware steps?
you mention a virtual joystick in the control panel, do you mean the "parallel port joysticks" icon (which launchs ppjoy's configure joysticks utility).
sorry for the confusion. hope i can help.

When you goto control panel,controllers,i see 3 controllers,2 are my own and 1 is the one i created using ppjoy set as virtual joystick,i am now getting movement when i highlight virtual joystick as if i was going to calibrate stick.As ive mentioned b4 i get HL2 using trackir4 but only as complete directional movement and not just static looking.I will master this.....lol

cool.
so you have it working? in half life 2?
there won't be a way to separate view from moving, because they're linked in the game. The drawback of these third party apps - that they'll just never be nearly as good as proper trackir support built into the game.
if you have any further questions, let us know.
