JCook Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Recently downloaded the A10 Beta4 and the install asked about 32bit files, which was a bit confusing, but I found some explanation of that in the forum. Since I have Win7-64 bit I decided not to install 32 bit files (so I'm running 64-bit - right?) Now I've see in other threads that TrackIR won't run with the A10 64 bit version - this is really kind of a huge problem and I realize that it is on TrackIR to (hopefully) provide drivers that will work with the A10 in 64 bit; so what do I do? How is head movement in the A10 done without TrackIR? Do I uninstall the current 64-bit and then reinstall using the 32-bit files. Has anyone done this yet? Are there any issues with doing this? What are we missing out on by running the 32-bit A10 version as opposed to the 64-bit A10? Thanks John
Quirkitized Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Get the new TrackIR drivers, it works with 64bit dcs a10 then you don't have to worry about the 32bit. http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06-support/support-download-software-and-manuals.html
JCook Posted January 2, 2011 Author Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks Quirk Thanks Quirk I guess I must have been reading an old post about the 64-bit driver issue. I'll download and install the new one. John
Vulpes Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Ok, I have another TrackIR question: I use TrackIR 2 (yes, I know it's old and not 6 DOF). I found out in several forum posts how to get it running with my Win 7 64bit setup. I even get it recognized in the A10 game (running as 32 bit) and I assigned it to Absolute Camera Horizontal/Vertical View. But in the game there is still no head movement. Is anybody else trying to get TrackIR 2 to work? If you tell me 'forget it' - that would be another reason to buy TrackIR 4 or 5... btw: is there a noticeable difference between the two? Thanks Vulpes
Bulletstop Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 A simple answer go for either 4 or 5. I love my 4 and I came from a 3 and it is so much smoother. I have a friend who had a 4 and went to a 5 and he speaks highly of it. If you can afford it upgrade and also get the trackclip pro. just one mans opinion.
