Hi,

I have TrackIR4 Pro and have been using it sucessfully, for quite a while now, but it has suddenly stopped working.Other addons I have are Ultimate TrafficX,ActiveSkyX/XGraphics. It has been working more or less ok with these products, but I have had a few instances of it not working with ASX/XG. But now even with those applications not running, TrackIR will not work. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the latest TrackIR software, but to no avail.I have had some problems with simconnect, could this be it.I have checked my Firewall and it is allowing TrackIR.

edit:I have tried TrackIR with different games and it works fine.

I was trying to get traffictoolbox to work a couple of days ago and I think, what I have done is copied the dll.xml file, from the Traffictoolbox folder into, user\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX folder and, by doing so have overwritten the dll.xml, that was previously in there.Is there any way I can get around this.

Any Ideas please.I really cannot be without my TrackIR.

Regards

Shaun

The steps below, should also work ......


Make sure that you have SP1 installed.
You should have the following folders installed:

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\ x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator. SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.....

C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\ x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator. SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.61234.....

If these folders are not installed, make sure that you perform a repair install of FSX and a clean install of SP1 for FSX.

If you are making changes to the SimConnect.xml file, to allow ASX to function, this can then break SimConnect from functioning locally as well. This is resolved easily with applications such as FSUIPC, which when reinstalled add the local settings back into the SimConnect.xml file.

To remedy the issue with the TrackIR, you need to have the local settings stay defined within the SimConnect.xml file. Note that the highlighted section is required for the TrackIR to function locally.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">
<Descr>SimConnect</Descr>
<Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>Auto</Protocol>
<Scope>local</Scope>
<Address></Address>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Port></Port>
<MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
<DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
</SimConnect.Comm>
<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
<Scope>global</Scope>
<Address>XXXXXXX</Address>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Port>XXX</Port>
<MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
<DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
</SimConnect.Comm>
</SimBase.Document>

I have had to re-install FSX,because of this and other problems and TrackIR is now working ok.The only problem I do have is,that I had to remove my simconnect.xml file because of an error.The problem is,I do not know how to re-install this simconnect.Any ideas on this.I have not tried ASX yet.Does ASX need simconnect?

Many Thanks for your'e help

Shaun

SimConnect itself is working fine, if The TrackIR is working.

The SimConnect.xml file is not installed in the standard FSX install. Applications that use the .xml file, such as ASX do install the file, when they install. Make sure that add the previous info in as well, to the xml file, or the TrackIR will stop responding.......
