TRack ir 5 and FSX
TRack ir 5 and FSX
Just got a shiny new track ir 5, downloaded and installed the software, and set it all up. The problem is when I am in the virtual cackpit in FSX, head movement makes no difference to the view, but the sound pans to reflect the movement.
Am I missing something here?
All drivers are up to date, only Mcafee in the background running. USB plugged directly into the PC (No hub).
Any advice greatly accepted.

Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
What version of FSX are you using?
Do you have SP1/SP2 installed?
What version of Windows?

Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
I also had an issue with FSX, TrackIR and Mcafee, which was caused by Mcafee blocking communications with FSX via simconnect.
This was only resolved when I rebuilt my PC and switched to another AV program. I could never get Mcafee to fully switch off.
I don't know whether this is also your problem though.

FSX with both SPs on. All drivers up to date. Maybe I should try to kill Mcaffee prior to running FSX etc. Will post back the result this weekend.
It was suggested via a phone call with the vendor that I put a PCI USB expansion card in to force tracir to use a different channel. Worth a go I suppose as I have a spare!

Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
....well, that didnt work, this is getting very frustrating. There doesnt seem to be a problem with the Track ir, it works perfectly in the software, which is making things even more frustrating. I cant fit the PCI USB expansion as I have no free slots on my mobo! Any futher suggestions?

What version of Windows are you running?
If you look in the Windows folder/Winsxs/ How many simconnect folders do you see?
What are the folder names?

Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
Cant see any simconnect folders. Is it possible that Mcafee blocked the installation?
Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
It shouldn't block a simconnect install, but it has been known to block the simconnect ntwork connection.
If the simconnect folders aren't there, then youhave a bad install of FSX

Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
So do I need to uninstal everything and start from scratch? I dont understand why this can be, I installed FSX using only the default paths, and the same for my photographic scnery. Should I take it all off and start again?
Re: TRack ir 5 and FSX
Before I spend a day re installing everything, am I right thinking that the simconnect folders would be near the bottom of the list in the Winsxs folder? If so, there are none.
