Rhinozherous Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Hello! This seems like an old problem (found topics from 2016) but I never found any kind of solution... When I use TrackIR I sometimes get this annoying bug that DCS thinks I unplugged TrackIR. Is there anyone who solved or worked around this problem? DCS is not playable with this occuring out of the blue! Is there anything Eagle Dynamics could or want to do? Is this an Track IR failure? Thank you! i7-14700KF 5.6GHz Water Cooled /// ZOTAC RTX 4070 TI Super 16GB /// 32GB RAM DDR5 /// Win11 /// SSDs only DCS - XP12 - MSFS2020
Sokol1_br Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Maybe turn off USB port save power feature help. https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/930312/the-allow-the-computer-to-turn-off-this-device-to-save-power-power-man
Chump Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Put this in your autoexec.cfg:no_device_hotplug = trueNOTE: you will lose hotplug functionality, but it should not disconnect the devices any longer.
ilikepie Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 i keep a usb stick handy for when this happens. just plug it into the usb 2 slot on the front panel and remove it and the tir is back. it seems to be a period of inactivity that causes it to drop out, from what i've seen Action After Contemplation

Joe Lighty Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 I think this worked! Thank you so much! Which technique was the one that appears to have "worked"?
chiefsheep Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 This - the "plug another USB item into a USB port and the TrackIR should be re-identified". Just tried it myself with a spare USB storage stick and it worked perfectly.
Tattiebogle Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 I have this problem as well. I don't use trackir, never have. God knows why it happens to me.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Joe Lighty Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 Just reviving this thread with a problem I'm having with TrackIR5 on a new build 9 (Win11). After using TrackIR, I can succesfully shutdown the app and the green light goes out on the camera. However, when I try to Shutdown the computer, using "Shutdown" through the Start button, Windows "shuts down" however the PC remains running (fans, motherboard lights, etc). If the TrackIR is unplugged prior to doing this, the issue doesn't appear, so it's 100% related to the TrackIR being plugged into a USB port (no hub). I have deselected (box is unticked) "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" box in the Device Manager for the USB Root Hubs (all of them) however this appears to have no effect on the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
