Programming for TrackIR 5

Post by Sortofred »

Is there anything available to allow someone to create a profile for an older game for this version? Thanks.

You can create a profile for any title that is in the Titles tab. Just create your profile, locate the game in the games list, and map the profile to the game.

Thanks but of course I'm talking about a game NOT on the list. I've heard of something called trackmapper for the trackIR version 3.1 and below that will accomplish this task. Is there anything that would do the same for 5?

TrackMapper is not "officially" supported in TrackIR 5, as it is a third-party application which has not been in development for many years. However, I have heard that many users have had success in using it with the new 5.0 software. It will not function the same as actual TrackIR support, but you might find it helpful nonetheless.

For official TrackIR support, the developers must use our SDK. Anything else is "use at your own risk."
