I'm unable to use TrackIR4.0 pro with the original Falcon 4.0 (with patch 1.03US or was it 1.08US?) even though in the TrackIR software "Falcon 4.0 all versions" is supported.

Any ideas?

Try and run F4.0 in compatibility mode for WIN98 if you�re using XP or higher (which one are you using?).
Don�t know if this will do it, but I remember a lot of problems going away in the days doing that.
What TIR software version are you using?

Oh, there�s a double post, an answer here: http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubb ... #Post33690

I'm using WinXP with whatever SP version which I can't remember, TrackIR software is the latest, .36 I think, just downloaded it a few days ago.

How do I set Falcon 4 to Win98 mode?

I managed to find another way to use TrackIR with Falcon 4, but not accurate at all :
Use mouse emulator, set one of the joystick button to emulate mouse right click, in the pit use "3" to 3d pit view, press the "mouse right click" button and pan your head around. However, this is highly inaccurate.
BTW, is there anyway to adjust mouse emulator sensitivity / deadzone etc etc?

Manual setting is the simples I think.

Also a lot of resources for F4.0 here: http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/foru ... y.php?f=11
