Bahger Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I'm getting a vexing problem with TrackIR: it sometimes drops out in DCS (showing one green light on left of sensor but no response to head movement) yet when I alt-tab out of DCS, it works properly and is responsive in the TIR display. To get it working again in DCS I have to restart the sim. I am pretty dependent on TIR in the Harrier as there is no other way to peek around obstacles in order to see all MFD buttons and data. I have adjusted Windows 10 power settings to "Performance", which apparently prevents the system from snoozing USB devices, but that seems not to be the solution so I am scratching my head. Any ideas? Many thanks.
HiJack Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I don't have the Harrier but have you tried to rename the trackir Input folder? ..\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\FA-18C_hornet\trackir
Bahger Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 I don't have the Harrier but have you tried to rename the trackir Input folder? ..\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\FA-18C_hornet\trackir Sorry, but can you elaborate? I see a TrackIR folder in the path you specified (but for the AV8NA) but there is no data in the folder...
HiJack Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Then you are fine as there are no assignments done that affect trackir in DCS.
HiJack Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Not much that can be wrong with this I think. Maybe check that you are running tracir as Administrator.
Habu_69 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Open Device Manager --> Universal Serial Bus Controllers. At each of the ... USB Hub.... entries' Power Management tab uncheck "Allow computer to turn off this device.." You have to do this every time Win 10 updates.
Bahger Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 Thank you both very much. I am pretty sure you've helped me troubleshoot this.
