Track Ir 5 frozen after some time

[alexej21]

Hello Pilots,

There is always a problem which you need to solve :(

 

My track Ir 5 works OK but after some time, 2h, 30 minutes... is just frozen and doesn't respond. LED are usually both green. Even if I move Track clips from the camera view, still 2 green LEDs on it.

I saw also 2 orange LED on it few times.

 

Track Ir is connected to USB hub, the USB hub has external power supply. - problem ?

 

Track is mounted on the wall behind me. Is there a possible that the track is overheated ?

 

Is there any way to reload trackir without need of closing of DCS ?

 

I found this for Falcon:

In the meanwhile I found a workaround when this problem happens which is the following:

1- In the sim's setup option go to controllers and assign a key command to the "Reload TrackIR" command which by default is unassigned. I assigned the "ALT+T" keys to the "Reload TrackIR" command since the "ALT+T" keys aren't used in the sim.

2- When playing a misson and when the TrackIR freezes, pause the sim and ALT-TAB

3- Open the TrackIR program window -> You should notice that TrackIR is inded "frozen" (it won't move)

4- If TrackIR is inded "frozen", close the TrackIR program

5- Open the TrackIR program again -> Check what everything is ok within the TrackIR program

6- Return to the sim

7- Unpause the sim

8- Press the key(s) that you assigned as "Reload TrackIR"

9- After this TrackIR should be working again

 

 

Thank you

Try the TIR without the USB hub and go direct to a USB port. I've always heard it was best to not use a hub with the TIR.

Solved.

 

Connection directly to MOBO helped.

 

I have a new active usb HUB but it's a crap :joystick:
