FC3'ers -
I'm a confused, frustrated, owner of an FC3 system, and I cannot, for the life of me, get the damned thing to work with TrackIR 5 and my joystick system, which is an older Thrustmaster. I've tried everything - cabled mice and keyboards, new motherboards, reinstallations of software, all of it.
I need help. Is there ANYONE in here who is in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, who would be willing to come out and witness my dilemmas, and help troubleshoot? The builders of my PC are out of options. They all want to play 1st-person shooters, not flight sims. I'll pay for the visits, and heck, I need a flight instructor as well. I've flown DCS all of ONCE since I started this endeavour in December of last year, and I've been through motherboards, SSD's, spoken with tech support for TrackIR, tried to get help from Russia, all to no avail.
Contact me directly at whareagle@gmail.com and I'll give you my ph#. I live in E. Dallas, off of 30 and Jim Miller, but on the safe side. I also own two cycling studios on Garland Rd and Campbell, next to the Bike Marts. I just want to learn how to be be a competent virtual fighter pilot, and I've been denied by glitches every single step of the way.
HELP and SOS.
