Got it working. took some messing with but all seems good now. Yes, it was working fine before I got A-10. So I install A-10 and go into options/controls and notice trackir not being detected by the game. So I decide to upgrade my trackir software/game list. Did that, tells me it will uninstall the previous trackir and install the new one. Now trackir software is not detecting the hardware.
Well, after browsing forums for solutions, here and trackir site. I uninstalled trackir, deleted the folders associated with it, reinstalled. Still not detected by trackir. Read forums some more, found a suggestion to "update drivers" within "Device Manager" for TrackIR. I try this, click update drivers, point to the TrackIR install location, Drivers folder. And viola its working in trackir software and being recognized by the game under Axis Commands.
