dixie Diner 6 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Any hints as to why I cant get my TrackIr 5 to work with A-10C??? I start both progs. as Admin. I've tryed windowed and not. Got the new profile loaded for the TrackIr. Anything I've missed, that does the trick ?? Thanks Dixie Diner 6
Dynamo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Are you running Beta4 ? Is your Operating system 64 bit? I had to get the latest TrackIR driver which was released just before Christmas for it to work. I assume headtracking is working in the Trakc IR software. Do you get the blue light on the device saying it has found compatible software? 1
Ragtag Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 you need trackir 5.1 beta 3 software for x64 to work with TIR5 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I7 3930K. 16Gb Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz. Asus P9X79 Deluxe.

Apples Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Also try going into your device manager, find natural point device and update driver software. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 6 Monitors, 5 Video Cards, 90inch Flat Screen, Intel Bad Ass 2 @ 72.6Ghz, Atari Hotas!!!
S77th-konkussion Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 NO. Do not let windows update the driver for you. NEVER let windows update a driver for a peripheral, video card, sound card, etc. ALWAYS get drivers and instructions from the vendor. Go to naturalpoint.com and get the beta software and update it. 1 [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]

Kuky Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 You need to run both DCS A-10C Beta 4 and TrackIR 5.1 Beta 3 to have it working 1 No longer active in DCS...

Slammin Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Smart ASs http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=45965#Post45965 From the NP link you posted: "When you downloaded, and installed the latest software. If you look in the system device manager, is the camera still using the 2.41 TrackIR drivers? Several steps to try - 1 - Try moving the TrackIR camera to another USB port, and allow Windows to detect and reinstall the newer drivers. 2 - If the automatic reinstall does not find the new drivers then we are going to need to manually update the drivers. - Open the system device manager, and scroll down to the NaturalPoint device listing. - Right click on the TrackIR camera and select update drivers - During the update wizard, you will need to point to the NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5\Drivers folder" The person with the issue had already installed the newest driver and the Support person already knows that since the driver is installed already, if/when Windows detects the device, it will install the driver the user just installed onto the particular USB port. He goes on to step 2 to force, thus ensuring that some corrupt OEM file is not picking up the wrong location for the driver and having the user manually point Windows to the driver. He is not in any way instructing the user to let Windows install some default driver, and he also knows that Windows 'should' pick the driver the user just installed. I could see how one might think differently, but the original user with the problem stated right away that he did in fact already install the latest driver.

sweinhart3 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) NO. Do not let windows update the driver for you. NEVER let windows update a driver for a peripheral, video card, sound card, etc. ALWAYS get drivers and instructions from the vendor. Go to naturalpoint.com and get the beta software and update it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with allowing Windows to get driver updates for you. They work and are digitally signed, otherwise Microsoft would not distribute them. The only downside is they dont always grab the most up to date driver version which in some cases may be what you need. Also Slammin is correct. In this case NP's post is not suggesting the use of Window's Update feature to fetch drivers off the internet.

Slammin Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I think konkussion and Apples got their wires crossed due to not having the complete picture and circumstances. Unfortunate for it to result in dis-rep because they are both correct once the whole picture is in view, and both probably incorrect if the whole picture is not in view :-) 1 Abit IN9 32x MAX- Kentsfield QX6700 @3520 1.5 vcore watercooled D-Tek Fuzion/PA-160/MCR120/2x MCP655 2x2GB G-Skill 1066 5-5-5-15 2T@1.9vdimm 2x EVGA 580GTX 1.5GB SLI 2x 74GB Sata Raptor Raid0 2x 320GB Hitachi Sata II X-FI Elite Pro Dell U3011 Lian Li V2100B Corsair HX1000
