You would need to start the mouse emulation application first.

I'm not sure why, but........

You must check the box for "cockpit mouse option" to disable the TrackIR. This can be found under Options/Cockpit of the LO-MAC settings screen.

There is no option like that. I have the same problem in GTR2 which is an Enhanced Game too. If I want to steer left or steer right, the view is turn to the right or left side too. I need to disable view control by TrackIr to play without any problems with TIR2Joy. How can i make it ? Perhaps, the solution for me could be to delete Games Information from TrackIR. Please help me.

There is no way to disable the TrackIR software, within GTR2 -

Some news : we can disable TrackIR in GTR2 to use it only as joystick if you edit with notepad yourprofile.plr in GTR2\UserData\yourprofile like that :


TrackIR Pitch Down Limit="0.00000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0, Default: -0.15
TrackIR Pitch Up Limit="0.00000" // Min: 0, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.05
TrackIR Yaw Left Limit="0.00000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0, Default: -0.40
TrackIR Yaw Right Limit="0.00000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.40
TrackIR Roll Left Limit="0.00000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.075
TrackIR Roll Right Limit="0.00000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.075
TrackIR Move Left Limit="0.00000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.05
TrackIR Move Right Limit="0.00000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.05
TrackIR Move Down Limit="0.00000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.05
TrackIR Move Up Limit="0.00000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.03
TrackIR Move Forward Limit="0.00000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.25
TrackIR Move Back Limit="0.00000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.25

Just replace lines with those ones.

But we can't do the same in Lock On.

Is there any possiibilities to solve the problem with TrackIR Software SDK to edit enhanced games ?

Sincerely.

The TrackIR isn't designed to be used as a joystick, within gaming applications. So the ability to do that, within the SDK, probably will not be an option, but I will throw it by the development team.
