Issue with TrackIR5 v5.5.1 drivers?

[LordOrion]

Yesterday I have updated my TrackIR 5 drivers to v5.5.1 and then DCS World was no more able to detect the device.  

It works fine with its own control software but the game does not recognize it ("rescan input devices" does not solve).

Rolling back to v5.5.0 actually to fixes the problem and TrackIR 5 device is detected again by DCS 2.9.7.59263.

Anyone else seen the same problem?

I can confirm this. Restart of PC, rescan of devices etc. I had to revert to v5.5.0 of the trackir software.

Cheers!

Still on a TrackIR 4 here. 5.5.x will not even detect my track hat so it doesn't even work at all in any sim. Reverted back to 5.4.2 which works fine.

Hi @LordOrion, contact TrackIR tech support yet?  Their response is very fast.

One user has the similar issue at:

TrackIR5 ver. 5.5.1.192 is not connecting tp DCS - forums.naturalpoint.com

Same here, reverting to 5.5.0 worked.

I have asked NaturalPoint  tech support what is "the game list" in order to get the new driver to work.

No, I didn't.

That topic you linked seems intersting... However, AFAIR the TrackUR client didn't ask for any game list update...

It's okay... let me follow-up with NaturalPoint.

Hi,

I had the same problem. I solved it as follows:

1) Unplug the TrackIR USB camera

2) Uninstall the TrackIR software

3) Download and install the latest TRackIR software as administrator

4) Reconnecting the TrackIR USB camera

5) If necessary, set your preferred profile again

TrackIR should then be recognized by DCS again.

I hope I was able to help.

Greetings

Markus

Thank @Markus77.

I just upgraded my TrackIR from 5.4.2 to 5.5.1 and it worked as usual.

What I did:

1. uninstalled 5.4.2 (backup my TrackIR profile in case)

2. installed 5.5.1 (I found the Profile directory was still there under user\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint)

3. launched TrackIR not DCS yet (everything was same profile, speed..., and the TrackIR left LED was on)

4. launched DCS (I disabled DCS launcher, the TrackIR right LED was on)

5. Went into F-14 as pilot and moved my head around and it worked.

 

I am not sure that it will make differences that "uninstall" is the must first step then "install", or just run "install" newer version on top of the previous version.

I did the same and worked

 

BTW: Anyone else has noticed that F12 key to re-center view does not work anymore?

I switched it to another usb port and everything worked without deleting the program

How about the rebind the center again?  After my upgrade, I did not loss the center binding since I bind it with my HOTAS.

FYI: just find out that TrackIR has the new release 5.5.3.
