TrackIR stopped working with any simulator

Hi, I received this product last week. I showed good performance until I installed lock on mod manager ver 5. After I installed lock on mode manager (aka modman), it stopped working.

However, it lights 4 red dots and one yellow on the top. And it shows good head tracking and gauges before I run any games. But after I run a game, it never works. I switch to back to window with alt-tap while game is running, head tracking and gauge are seemlessly ok.

I don't know why it stopped in game only.
I uninstalled modman and lock on, it still never works with any other simulator like IL2

Please help me to solve this......

Sounds like the lockon mod manager may have interfered with how TrackIR checks for an enhanced game.

When you start these games now, does the blue LED at the bottom of the TrackIR light up? (this indicates an enhanced game has started).
Also, when you alt-tab out of a game do you see that game listed on the main tab of the trackir? (Next to "Current Game : ")

hope this helps.

-if not, i'd suggest uninstalling the TrackIR software and reinstalling, just in case lockon's mod manager did anything fishy. (just in case).

Anyways, I uninstalled modman and reinstalled lock on. Now it runs without any problem. I think modman modified some original files in lock on directory and other simulators.

Thanks anyway.
