FSX , TIR5 view not centering

Post by astrospud »

I have had Tir5 for a few months now, and love it to death!
While in DCS Blackshark the assigned key for centre view works a treat, I have trouble with FSX. I have assigned numpad 5 for my centre view button in both games, but it doesn't seem to want to translate in game in FSX. It does, however, re-centre when FSX is in windowed view.
Also, in TIR5 GUI, title comes up as Microsoft ESP, and not Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
Any ideas would be helpful.

Have you changed the hotkey, within the TrackIR software itself, to the key you want used for centering?

What OS are you using?

Sorry, I didn't get around to replying this - thought it was dead in the water. Decided to revisit for the following:

OK, TIR hotkey Changed from F12 (default) to numpad 5. Works in Full view in DCS but not in FSX.
Confirmed this issue with a recent reinstall of FSX since OP.
TIR view centre is only effective when FSX is windowed and not current app. ie; 2 monitor arrangement, FSX window in one, mouse activity in the other, hitting numpad 5 re centres view in windowed FSX.

OS is Vista 32.

I'd upload my DxDiag if I could.

Have you tried running both the TrackIR software, and the gaming application as an admin (right click on the exe file for each, and select run as admin)?

Are you running any keyboard/joystick software?

Sorry for my late reply again, I would have assumed any reply would send email notification...

My PC is down for the moment, but I remember TIR5 being run as admin...not sure about FSX. I will check it out when my computer is running again.

Yes I am running Saitek SSD software for my X52Pro, and Logitech setpoint for my G15 and rodent. G15 profiling software is also running.

Might make sure that any of the 3rd party apps are also trying to use those keys as well.
