Track IR not active in DCS

[msmith301]

Can anybody tell me why my TrackIR 5 with pro clip is not active in DCS.

I start up the Track IR program and make sure everything is centered and working but when I go into DCS and try use it it's not there.

What am I doing wrong?

Is it STILL running when you're in DCS? Are both green lights lit?

 

 

Leave the window open and alt-tab out. In my case it shows up as Black Shark, I think.

got it.

That worked.

Thanks.

Just as an aside, be careful that you don't use TrackIR in a room with direct sunlight. The direct sunlight will interfere with the IR and your screen will go nuts causing you to think the TrackIR is defective.
