Track IR Unresponsive

[Radial9]

Started up DCS this morning to find TrackIR completely unresponsive in game. Track IR starts when I start DCS OB 2.5. My profile is loaded fine. I have one green LED as per usual. However when I load any scenario, mission no second LED, no track IR. It gets weirder. If I back out and look through the options menu, I can see a category for Track IR. However, not a single aircraft has an entry when I look under the Track IR column. All blank. Every aircraft.

 

When I’m on the ramp and press escape and review Adjust Controls for every aircraft and mission, nothing. Track IR column empty.

 

I have also discovered, related or not, that my A10C UFC unit now has multiple entries for HOTAS POV1 for 360 views, across every aircraft.

 

Any thoughts? I did turn off Track IR autoload and started manually to made sure Track IR was running under admin mode. Track IR itself is running just fine. It simply will not communicate at all with DCS.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: when I go into TrackIR and change views to camera and back through the various views, Track IR connects to DCS and runs fine. Unless I bring up the Track IR control panel and go though view changes, I cannot get Track IR to connect to DCS.

After a few hours of trial and error, the only way I can get my TrackIR to work is to first load it as admin, make sure it is responsive then load DCS and it will load and work. No other order of events will get a working system. I cannot get TrackIR to load with DCS and work.

I noticed that at times, DCS will lose trackIR despite it working in the trackIR software. I found a solution here - instead of restarting DCS, unplug and plug trackIR back in.
