Can't get TrackIR 4 to work with FS9 at all

Hello everyone

The title to this thread says it. I've tried all the hints and tips given in NaturalPoint's FAQs on FS9, but nothing seems to work. The sensor shows both green and blue LEDs, but when I get into FS9 and switch to virtual cockpit - nothing, no movement at all.

BTW, although I've taken the advice about including "HideInfoText=0" in the FS9.cfg file, I'm still not seeing the expected red text in the top right-hand corner of the virtual cockpit screen. Is that a clue?

Yes, the red text not being there would be a indication as there is something wrong.

Have you tried a clean install of FS9?

What version of Windows are you running?

Thanks Vincent,

Uninstalling & reinstalling FS9 did the trick. I suppose there must have been some long-forgotten mod in there somewhere, that was bunging up TrackIR. Now it works fine, I especially like being able to peer up over the instrument panel, and to lean out to the side!
