TIR3 with 5.1 software

[159_Archer]

Although it states that TIR3 is now supported by the new software on naturalpoints' site, I'm finding that 5.1 doesn't see my TIR3.

 

Looked pretty long and hard for help or instruction or controls that might help, but so far nothing.

 

Anyone had anything similar?

 

Don't generally have issues with TIR these days.

From what I gather, you need the Vector expansion for it to work with a TIR3. We are in the same boat since I do not have the Vector expansion with my TIR3.

I get the same problem ...

My TIR5 was faulty and got returned.

My old TIR3 seems to be recognized, the lights are on, DCS A-10 can see the axes, but it doesn't work. Very frustrating!

Worked ok in B2 with TIR4 s/w.

I have the VE so it should work.

 

When I activate the 5.1 SW it doesn't even light up the TIR3 -it just sits there dead.

 

Wondering if I perhaps need to remove the old SW? I don't think this is required as the 2 don't seems to clash -unlike the older updated versions which required removal when updating.

Have you tried going into device manager and right-clicking on the TIR device and doing update.

 

The problem is too, if you've had TIR4 s/w on before and now install v5, it is trying to ensure that the h/w is finding the new driver not the old.

 

I never had the vector thing, so I may well be stuffed!

Yeah, this was recommended by the Naturalpoint tech help people on their forums; worked OK from then on!

 

Thx!

Don't forgeet that you need to unplug the hardware before you run the installation for ver 5. Also it creates a new icon to run the version 5 software.

I'm actually finding the 5.1 to be less stable at present. Not tried every adjustment yet, but so far I'm finding that the views are flitting around and the view requires constantly re-centering.

I've had to switch to 32bit A-10 and last v4 of NP to get TIR 3 working :( ...
