Help, FSX super glitchy when using tracker V5

Post by simguy »

I'm having a hard time with FSX and tracker. I have the latest software V5.x

The game plays smooth until you move your head. When you move your head its super glitchy and brings the game down to a halt. This is the case also with the graphics turned all the way down to minimal. I also have the new IL2 Cliffs of Dover and it plays perfectly fine. I also have Xplane 9 and it plays well.

This is my system
iBUYPOWER Gamer Supreme 950i Desktop PC Intel Core i7 960(3.20GHz) 12GB DDR3 2TB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I'm using the hat clip.

Any advice would be helpful!

Hello -

First things first, I would check any firewalls on your computer (including the windows firewall) to ensure that FSX.exe and TrackIR5.exe can communicate properly over local loopback connection (127.0.0.1). This is often the cause of issues related to FSX due to the connection method implemented by Microsoft for FSX.

I would also try, for troubleshooting purposes, running both pieces of software by right clicking on them and selecting "Run as administrator" to ensure that it is not an issue caused by a Windows permissions conflict.
