I have a problem with trackir pro 4 when playing flaming cliffs, it works when i play from the loading screen and pick a plane from here it works fine, but when i try to play an actual mission the trackir stops responding. I don't get any error messages it just doesn't work even when i delete the config and input trackir folder. I have all the latest lockon, flaming cliffs and trackir updates. Any help would be much appreciated, its doin my head in. My os is vista 32bit.

Running both applications as an admin?

Does the blue light go out?

Hmmmmmm, sounds like the mission settings have the TrackIR turned off. Is this a custom mission?

No just standard missions.

and when you exit out of the mission, and go to a quick launch flight it starts back up, or do you have to restart lock-on?

There should be no difference3 in a quick flight load, compared to a mission flight, as far as the TrackIR software cares.....

It just keeps reverting back to joystick hatswitch and knocks the tracker off, everytime you click on mission you can play the mission ok but without the tracker, and with me being so used to flying flight sims with the trackir, its taking the realism out of the game when you have to use the joy hat, it realy sucks big time, its just not the same flying without the trackir. It really enhances the game, can't fly without it now. I can't understand it works fine on free flight then as soon as you click the missions it knocks the trackir off..i hope i dont have this problem when Black Shark comes out
