Yes TrackIR5 will work with the A-10C however only in 32 bit. You must load the 32bit files when you install the beta and then run the DCS A10C_x86.exe. Also if using win vista or 7 you need to run both trackir and DCS as admin.

 

Currently there is no 64bit support for the beta, coming soon, so I hear.

You don't have to wait! When you install the game, there is an option to install the 32 bit binaries. Reinstall the A-10 Beta and make sure to select that option. I'm also on W7 64 bit, but I'm playing DCS A-10C with TrackIR just fine as long as I don't use the 64 bit DCS binaries.

NO, pay attention. Install both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of A10 and you can run the 32 bit version (x86) to enable the use of TIR. If you did not check the box when installing, you will need to reinstall.

64 bit

 

I`m afraid i`m running only 64bit and I don`t want to reinstall this monster again!

DCS is in the " program file " folder not in the " program file (86) " folder...so i`m assuming I checked the 65 bit only:cry:

There is a workaround that lets you use TrackIR with the 64-bit client - see this thread:

It works perfectly for me.

Ermmm... what's the problem with de-installing/re-installing?

 

10 minutes of your life lost?

So you downloaded the files... installed the game and deleted installation files? :huh: DoH! :doh:

 

Next time you download the files keep them on the HDD (or burn on DVD) so that when you want to reinstall the game you don't have to download the files again

It shouldn't and make sure you check the 2 boxes it will install the 32 bit and trackir will then work.

Honestly, I'm not triying to be rude, but I think that if you don't have the patience to reinstall the sim, loosing maybe 2 minutes of your time (yes, you can keep doing anything else while it installs!) you won't have the patience to learn how to fly it.

 

Good luck mate! :thumbup:

Totally agree. While I'm completely on-board with helping new guys with technical issues, we're not here to fish for you, just to show you how.

 

Anytime I hear someone cry "I'm not computer literate" or "not well versed with computers", then what I believe is actually being said is "I do not want to learn, please tell me over and over again how to do this."

 

DiabloSP said it perfectly...if you don't have the patience for this stuff you either need to develop that patience or move on to other games that will not be so taxing.

 

I understand the flight sims draw in the older/less skilled crowd, but cmon!

 

Besides, learning to deal with computers is a fraction as complex as learning the ins-and-outs of this A10. If you think the TIR workaround is stressful then you really need to see about getting your money back from DCS A10, and go buy an Xbox or something. You will be MUCH happier and experience MUCH less stress in your life.

 

The very existence of this thread (one of about 10 on the same subject) suggests that the OP is a wee bit on the lazy side and didn't even bother to search first.

 

Again, I don't have a problem with computer illiterates who WANT to TRY and LEARN. But those who cry out at the smallest of procedures are in over their head with DCS. DCS "study" sims are for folks who enjoy learning. There's no way around it.

you mean techno savvy.......it requires more skill to learn something new when you are older.

 

i can understand the frustration of both parties, the teacher and the pupil, i agree that its better to have someone learn a skill than do it for them,

 

and who you calling old.....? (JK) :P

Hey I'm 36, which is "old" compared to the windows-spoiled "never typed a directory path in DOS" crowd. But I also know plenty of flight sim guys in the 50+ demographic, but most of those are more than willing to learn. The ones who aren't....are a HANDFUL. lol

Just to let you all know i`m 63 yo...but that is not an excuse. It took me 25 years to become an artist and never gave up, if i`m passion et about something I will succeed.

A month or so I made the mistake of asking my wife that I want to try Combat Simulators for a hobby, my best friend plays them and I was very excited about them. My wife and my friend got together and got me the TrackIR and the DCS A-10 ( my choice to try the A-10 ) as a birthday gift. I must admit it all became overwhelming trying to learn both, but I think I have made much improvement in the three weeks that have passed. The criticism does not bother me, You learn as you get older how to filter them. What does bother me is all the assumptions that are made when you don`t know the person`s history behind the thread.

 

I only have one more week left before my friend returns from his travel to help me get through this.

 

All this being said I did have a lot of help on this forum from may members who did help me

and I did make an effort to let them know how much I appreciated it.

THIS IS ALL THE INFO ON THAT LINK.

 

Shhh... don't tell NaturalPoint or they might stop working on their 64bit software ok? There is a workaround for enabling full 6DOF TrackIR support in the 64bit DCS A-10C client. It's a bit of a kludge, but as far as I can tell it works flawlessly.

 

You'll need:

tir2joy ( I guess these are downloads from the internet )

PPJoy

 

Run the PPJoy installer and be sure to follow the instructions to enable test-signed drivers (you should see the text, "Test Mode, Windows 7, Build XXXX" in the bottom right corner of your desktop).

 

Run the PPJoy Joystick and Gamepad configuration utility ("Configure Joysticks" in the PPJoy start menu group) and click Add, and then Add again to create "PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1". Simple enough, now close the configuration utility.

 

Run tir2joy.exe and leave it running in the background while you fire up DCS A-10C 64bit. Now it's just a matter of mapping the appropriate PPJoy Virtual Joystick axes and you're finished. The attached image shows how the axes looked for me but yours may be different and require some fiddling.

 

Enjoy!
