Input device TrackIr unplugged/plugged

[Scoll]

Hi all,

 

Since last update i get randomly on upper right corner playing on Multiplayers Servers (all i tested):

Input device TrackIr unplugged

...lag... then :

Input device TrackIr plugged

 

Only on 1.5 not on 2, well i'm not using TrackIR but FreeTrack with Headtracker, no TrackIR on devices list.

[Devrim]

I saw that too. I use OpenTrack.

Your device is unsupported, so you'll need to hope for community support.

I have the same problem, but with TrackIR. It randomly gets "unplugged" since the latest update, but not "plugged" again, so I have to restart DCS. It's really annoying. It usally happens when I put it to standby, but just sometimes.

Thank you very much for your help Slazi, i always appreciate someone takes time helping eachother, nevertheless, don't say anything you might regret :smilewink:

 

My device is well supported as it is a Logitec Camera. This random behavior, in fact :

 

Laaaaag, (freeze about 5 seconds) then :

Input device TrackIr unplugged

then after some seconds:

Input device TrackIr plugged

 

apears just after last update 1.5.4.54855.129, Someone knowing something about that is welcome.

What he means to say, is the tracking interface you are using is unsupported by Eagle Dynamics.

 

ED Does not support FreeTrack/OpenTrack/FaceTrackNoIR etc.

 

However, this issue appears to be a global USB device issue that we are looking into.

Always sade to hear that, but that's not the subject, isn't it ?

Ok, i feel you are in the good direction, Thank you SkateZilla and ED.

if you are using facetracknoir it can use trackir drivers. you just have to set it to only use that driver in the settings rather than freetrack and maybe see if that fixes the issue. i use this and will report back if i have any problems after setting it to use trackir drivers only.

 

 

hope this helps

[Aeons]

I have this same problem with TrackIR Pro

[QuiGon]

I have this same problem with TrackIR Pro

 

Thank god, I'm not the only one!

[Cool-Hand]

I use TrackIR as well and get this error as well. A couple of times I end up having to restart the game to get TrackIR to work again even though when I Alt+Tab out TrackIR is working fine.

[dresoccer4]

hi all. i have a similar problem, but didn't want to start a new thread. whenever i alt-tab out and back in, or even if i just alt+enter, i keep getting "input device trackIR plugged/unplugged"

 

however i am not using any tracking software/hardware. but they key issue for me here is, my force feedback completely goes out, and it won't come back unless i restart.

 

i play with MSFT ForceFeedback 2 and rely on the ff for errything, so basically makes the game unplayable for me :(

 

just wanted to give a heads up. strange times indeed....

[El Hadji]

I get the message with TiR 5/ProClip (latest TiR version) but it never stops working (I have reverted back to the old 1.5.3 functionality though since I am not a fan of the "updated" TiR functionality). If I happen to place my hand between the sensor and the LED's for a split second I also get the message but for the most part it pops up randomly.

[yipster]

Same here :(

 

With TrackIR 5

[SkateZilla]

The Message will appear when Tracking INput from the TrackIR Interface receives no data.

 

This can Happen When:

-TrackIR Software is Paused or Stopped/Closed.

-IR Pollution Causing Tracking Disruption (IR Light Sources Causing Distortions making points indistinguishable)

-Object Obstruction Causing Tracking Disruption (ie Hand over LED/Reflector, Out of camera range/focus etc).

-When USB Device is Removed then Re-Initialized within DCS (A separate issue by itself, but can trigger the aforementioned trackIR unplugged/plugged message).

For me it happened at least once that it stopped working when just loading another mission. I had to exit DCSW completely to get it working again.

 

Not that severe in this case, just noticed.

DCS Version Number?

First Mission Aircraft?

Second Mission Aircraft?

[Aginor]

It was in the 1.5.4 release version.

 

The first plane I am not 100% sure anymore, I think it was the A-10C. It was still working there.

The second plane (when it didn't work anymore) was the M2000C.

 

And I _may_ have alt-tabbed out of DCSW between the missions, if that helps finding the issue. :)

Delete /Headtracker/ and /TrackIR/ Folders from:

/DCS World/Mods/Aircraft/<module>/Input/<aircraft>/

 

These are Redundant/Obsolete, and causing DCS to Switch between New and Old Interface, is what's causing TrackIR to Dump on you after the 1st Mission

 

Aircraft that still have these folders are:

Hawk

C-101

M-2000C

MiG-21Bis

SA-342

 

Likely they will be removed in the coming updates, as it was reported internally already.

Roger, thx.

Hi,

 

Same for me, thx too.

Thanks Skate.

 

Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue with random-but-permanent "Track IR Device Has Been Unplugged" messages with the L-39C, L-39ZA and Mig-15. I've been getting it for several weeks now with all of the latest 1.5.4 updates.

 

It's happened in Instant Missions, self-made missions and, most recently, the Museum Relic campaign. I'm using a TrackIR 5 with the Pro clip, and there's definitely no obstructions or other IR sources/interference in the space.

 

I can't find a consistent, repeatable use case for the "unplugging", but it's definitely infuriating - especially when it happens right in of a really long mission before you've even reached the combat area (Mission 8 of Museum Relic - I'm looking at you).

[uri_ba]

Happens to me too with TIR4.

[flyco]

I suspect this is linked to the re-initialising of other USB devices, such as bespoke switches, which first manifested itself after the same update as spawned the TrackIR unplugged/plugged outbreak.

[Skulleader]

Hello guys,

 

Me too I have the same problem with my TrackIR, this night I've meet this problem many time during the same fly with Gazelle and F-5, always the same message: TrackIR unplugged/plugged.

 

My DCS is 1.5.4.55952 Stable version and I use the last drivers and software from Natural Point. My Windows 8.1

 

When my TrackIR is unplugged I use ALT+TAB and the TrackIR work fine again but it's not really one solution.

 

I would like to know if I must unstall all my DCS and after that reinstall DCS for fix this problem because it's really a nightmare...

 

In advance a great thanks Skull.
