It does seem like this, i have tried everything i can think of but never heard of anything think this before with trackir. Many thanks for suggestions will have to keep looking around. steve

Hi again, Ok ive reinstalled and my default profile is back to 4kb but it has'nt made any difference with the loose in frame rate. The only thing i can possibly liken it to is using Fraps (like hitting the record button). I have also had a go at changing a few graphic setting in my nvidia control panel but no joy either (probably a long shot). Its very odd that BS is the only thing effected by this and im suprised that no one else seems to have this issue aswell.

To tell the truth im using the "combat flight" profile for black shark and not the default (dont know if that makes a difference). Im wondering could the default profile be bigger because i have changed it a little (just running ideas around)

Thanks so much for the reply vince and to answer your question my profile size's are basically the default ones Default:5kb Combat Flight: 4kb Flight: 4kb Racing: 2kb I am running anitvirus which is Nod32 and ZoneAlarm as my firewall, there has'nt been any system change's at all and have been testing it with Armed Assualt and LOMAC which are the other two games i use TIR with but no loss in frame rate at all between on/off steve.

Hi all, Im just wondering if anyone else is getting a frame rate drop when using trackir, im getting a 10-15fps drop with TIR4 which sometimes doesnt sound alot but when i dissable it the performance boost can be significant. Im running TIR with latest software and game updates but like i said im just wondering if anyone else is having a simular issue. Sorry if this has been posted about else where but i couldnt find anything by doing a search. kindest regards steve

Hi, I think CoD4 is different from the other two as its basically a shooter, lots of fun and its simular to all CoD games just set in modern times. Both ArmA2 and Ofp2 havent been released yet and i dont think i would hold my breath either and i would expect them (if at all) fall 2008. At present you have a choice of either Operation Flash Point which although still played is out dated by ArmA, both are excellent games and i would liken them closer to a sim more than a shooter. One thing to keep in mind is that both need a decent pc to run and Armed Assault still has its bugs and conflictions as its early days for the game but like Lock on its worth your time. steve

Ok just ignore me while i go smash my head on some thing, after alot of searching i found the problem to be that i didnt install magic mouse and magic keyboard so all is well now thats done. DOH!

Hi guys i hope you maybe able to help me on this because ive been racking my brains when trying to create a profile for my X-52 but i just cant get any response from the profile in game. I have cleared all the buttons from the stick opiton in game have have the profile loaded but nothing works. I dont know where im going wrong but this is the first time i have tried to set up the damn thing so im hoping its something simple (me for instance LOL) steve.

You guys know how to make a noob welcome :) *blushes* lol

Thanks so much for the warm welcome and quick replies, i must admit i have start looking at the videos made by Ironhand and they have truely been of great help and make me want to grit my teeth and jump right in the cockpit.

Hey guys, Just wanted to stop by and say hello, im new to Lock on and to tell the truth to any kind of flight sim. I guess as ive got a little older my tastes in gaming have changed alot so i thought i would try and set my sights a little higher than just running around jumping and gunning. Anyways i just wondered if there is any advise for a noob out there kindest regards steve
