Jester TrackIR menu selection not working

[tpisko]

Hi 

I dont fly Tomcat all that often so not sure when this issue crept in but in the latest release I cannot select any commands in Jester menu using my trackir. Neither I can see Jester camera. Though both options are checked in under Special Tab.

There's no selection bar visible and when moving head around nothing happens.

The menu is also very large and plain, transparent compared to refined F4 menu. 

Is there a fix to get the trackir to work again please?

Playing in 2D with no mods.

(That feature is broken since DCS moved to multithreaded. It is unlikely to come back.)

Oh my word, so we occasionally get out of early access. When we do, we break it with updates and leave it at that? Not that the camera is bugging me. Trackir selection is, I cannot help it but to feel we're on a slippery slope with it all. I own 95% of all modules and maps. Maybe 2 or 3 are " finished"and maintained. Where's all this going?

No such issues with trackir 5 here, can you upload a dcs.log and a dxdiag.txt?

Thank you, see attached. Have no issue with other planes, F4 works beautifully.

Your game is modded. Try with clean profile.

Thanks for responding.

I don't have mods, I changed level of atmospheric haze. I changed it back, makes no difference. How it could affect menu behaviour? 

I'm not running as admin.

I will try the Bios and repair tomorrow.

Right.

C:\Users\tompi\Saved Games\DCS\Mods/aircraft/CJS Super Hornet Mod v2.4/

Shoot. My bad. Apologies. Yes I have assets, no core mods. Still agree, mods. 

Edit: I removed these assets from save games, no change to F14 issue.

I dont have hyper-v in bios.

Edit: hyper-v is also disabled in Windows feature list.

Did full repair, no change to f14 jester menu.

After removing the mods or renaming "Saved Games\DCS" folder did you perform a full repair? As last resort try with NV 566.36 drivers, the current ones are causing a lot of different issues.

[draconus]

So the normal look around with trackIR works fine in F-14, just not in the Jester menu? Have you tried to toggle the special option regarding this, try, then toggle again and try? Maybe it needs DCS restart.

Might be not enough. Clean profile is much better for troubleshooting. As BJ55 said - best to rename \saved games\dcs folder temporarily, DCS will start with new config.
