What does one green light instead of two mean in-game?

I'm having a few teething problems with TIR 5 64x Beta and A-10 64x. I'm finding failures to be more common than usual although, to be fair to TIR, they are often linked to failures in the sim, i.e. when a mission crashes, TIR will not work again until the sim is restarted.

I know to expect problems when I see only one green LED light showing at the bottom of my TIR unit, as opposed to two. What should I deduce from this (i.e. one green) and are there any tips for getting A-10 and TIR to play nice? It's ok, but no better than that, with too many glitches at the moment.

Hi Bahger,

Left Green : A clip IS being tracked.
Right Green : A TrackIR Enhanced Title IS running and has registered with the TrackIR software to receive tracking data.
Both Green : A clip IS being tracked, and a TrackIR Enhanced Title IS running and has registered with the TrackIR software to receive tracking data.
Both Orange : TrackIR is paused
Both Off : A clip is NOT being tracked, and a TrackIR Enhanced Title is NOT running or registered.
As far as tips--your experience should be similar to that of any other TrackIR Enhanced title. Make sure that the camera is positioned/aimed properly, relative to your head. Remove or block any background light/reflections, if possible. Make sure to start the TrackIR software before the game, and run them both on the same permission level. Other than that, you should be good to go.

If you can include some more specific descriptions of the issues you're having, we might be able to offer additional input.
