Trackir not working pls help

[fyaruny]

alright so, i have 1.5 version of the game and i cant seem to get trackir working.

I also have dcs world 2 Alpha and it works perfectly fine even with same trackir profile.

when i open dcs 1.5 my trackir 5 camera shows both leds green and when i go to options menu and click on axis tune on the trackir view controls i can see that the game recognizes my trackir and the axis are working fine, so why isn't it working when i jump into a cockpit ?

I have found that if I forget to turn on Track IR before I enter DCS I must completely exit DCS and turn it on. If I try to ALT TAB out to do it, it won't work. Maybe that's what you have been trying to do.

i am aware of that issue so i allways run trackir before i launch the game so thats not the problem.

 

thanks for the reply tho mate.

This is just an idea, since I have never had this issue with TIR but I have seen it from other controllers. If the controller's lua file gets corrupt in your Saved Games folder, this can happen.

 

I can't look at my system right now but from memory...

 

In your Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input there will be a folder for each aircraft and under that will be a set of folders for the controllers that aircraft has configured. One of those folders is for TrackIR but I don't remember what it is called. If you delete/rename that folder (or the file inside it), when you next go into the sim it will recreate the folder from the system default.

 

This may fix the problem but I make no promises.

 

EDIT: Fwiw, my TIR is always running since I don't turn the machine off and I only use it for flight sims.

Funny thing, i did this and now the Z axis got asigned to zoom view, the zoom view works with trackir but i tryed to clear the Z axis from zoom view and asign it to absolute longitude shift camera view (as it is suposed to be like moving my head forward and backward inside the cockpit) and it doesn't work now, the other axis are not working either, strange thing because when i tune the axis i can see the curves moving normaly like they should.

Reinstall trackir5. I had the issue too before. I uninstall ALL trackir 5 software with usb drivers. And then a new install and the issue was gone. Maybe a repair for dcs 1.5 may help too if this is not working.

This is a Crazy Thread Necro, But maybe will help someone else out. I had the same issue in the hornet. Turns out I had a slider assigned to Zoom view, and for whatever reason that rendered Track IR inoperable. I cleared the Slider association in keybinds and Track IR worked just fine.
