Hi Rick,
I finally got my TrackIR 4 .
Some time ago you told me that it is possible to use it on a second computer, WideFS- connected to the FS9 computer. I installed the TrackIR software on the second computer, then plugged the device on the second computer (as you told me to do) and made sure that WideFS would connect the two. Then launched TrackIR software and FS9, but the FS9 computer doesn't see the device. How do I tell the FS9 computer that TrackIR is present? Is there any file I should copy on the FS9 computer? I disabled Active camera and don't have nocd cracks or language.dll modifications. It seems that the FS9 computer simply does not know that the TrackIR exists!
Thank you for any help!
James

The computer that you are using with the TrackIR has to be physically connected to it. There is no networking options for the TrackIR software.

Yes, Rick, it *is* connected to it!
The configuration is:
computer 1 (server): FS9
computer 2 (client): TrackIR plugged in USB port+TrackIR software.

Computer 1 and computer 2 are networked. Will FS9 on computer 1 see TrackIR on computer 2, via WideFS?

Everything needs to be on the local box.

Thank you, Rick. So, just to clear up, you confirm that TIR DOES NOT WORK with WideFS, don't you?

If using that software means having to setup your computers the way you described then yes, it will not work.

Sorry Rick, but do you know of another way of using TIR and WideFS? I thought that was the only way, so that the TIR software was not going to influence FS performance on the main computer. Are there other ways?
Thanks a lot.
