trackir 4 pro not working in IL-2

Hi.

I have the trackir pro. I am running the latest trackir software 4.1 build 36. My IL-2 was installed from a DVD. Is there a patch for IL-2 that I need to install? The link at the top of this forum only has patches for Pacific Fighters. And its confusing as hell. Patch over Patch over Patch over Patch If .. Then... else.... what the hell.

I can use the mouse and mouse stick on my X-52 throttle to look around but the trackir does not work? It sortof works if I use mouse emulation.

Do I have to run mouse emulation in order to use trackir in IL-2 or should the trackir work without mouse emulation running.

From everything ive read, mouse emulation IS NOT REQUIRED in order to use the trackir in IL-2.

Please help

What OS are you using?

Do you have the TrackIR software running, before starting IL2?

Are you running any add-on/mods to IL2?

I am running XP.
Yes, I start the trackir software. The heads are moving as expected It just doesn't work in IL-2 when I start a game and fly.

I am not running any addons or mods in IL-2.

Hmmm, no no-cd mod installed.

Have you tried one of the demo applications to see if the TrackIR is working there?

The trackir works in LoMac and Grid... Just not in IL-2. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest patch, but it still doesnt work.

Can you check the file "config.ini" and see if you have this under [rts]:

trackIRUse=1

Sorry, I got the name of the file wrong. It should be "conf.ini". It is located in the folder of your IL-2 installation.

I have located the conf.ini file but their is no mention in it of the trackir.

I added trackIRUse=1 to the file but it makes no difference. What else do I have to put in the ini file. CAn you send me your ini file?

Thanks

Here is my "conf.ini" file. One question though, what version of IL-2 are you running? The reason is that the orginial IL-2 is not on the TrackIR enhanced list, whereas IL-2 Forgotten Battles/Pacific Fighters/IL-2 1946 is. Hope this helps.
