Trackir not working after latest update

[VirusAM]

Hi everyone, very strange issue here.

My trackir is not working after the last update, the strangest thing is that the F14 is the only module where it does not work.
I have checked and also reset the controls. The head tracking works correctly when I am in VR (usually i fly in 2d when I don't have a lot of time and in VR when I am doing some longer mission).
Also my trackir settings are greyed out and can't be assigned (cannot remember if before it was set something ther)...this is the same in every dcs module anyway but as already said  trackir works in every other module, even swithing to the RIO seat it works, but back to the front seat I will have the view frozen in the same position it was before switching to the front seat
I will upload some tracks here...What did happen?

I assume that the TrackIR centering is also blocked at the pilot seat, right?

Only data point I can give is, that never, not once, in any module, I had to setup anything TrackIR related inside DCS. Only button config and curves inside the TrackIR software. Apart from that, I noticed that the button bindings go haywire, when you start TrackIR before connecting the Input device you assigned the TrackIR controls to.

I pretty much only fly the 14, I also use TrackIR, and don't have a problem. 

With the controls being grayed out, that makes me think that possibly your camera's USB connection has had a hiccup. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it into another slot? Can you confirm that when you load into the TrackIR software (without DCS running), that the hardware all seems to be functioning correctly to begin with?

No hiccups, Trackir is working correctly with all other modules...and with the f14 itself from the back-seat as I already wrote in the first post.

It does not react at all...

as I wrote in the first post, It works in the backseat and switching back to the pilot view it the view is stopped in the same position as it was after leaving the backseat.

No changes at all in the configuration on my end from before the patch

I did never touch trackir settings in DCS in 20+ years of flying (yes counting lomac and flaming cliffs also)

UPDATE.

The issue is because I was using a mod to use RIO controls, I had to update that to the new bindings and now it is working.

Mine's gone to pot too. 

It was fine, I've never had a problem and have different profiles but have stuck with the same settings for a long time. I haven't touched it in years and now it's acting like a rubbernecking  epileptic in a beehive. 

Resetting it, or centering it lands a few degrees off center then it starts flipping out. I can't use it at all.

I'm trying to find the folder it lives in then I'll try reloading it. Any other ideas more than welcome .

hello. do you happen to have a lot of light in the room? sometimes too much light will affect trackIR.

what does the the trackIR outside of DCS do? i found that i had to configure the curves too. this was very important. i cannot claim i have had any problems with trackIR once i got it straight. DCS updates had no relevance to trackIR.
