TRACKIR not working

[Akula755]

I have checked the box allow trackir in the graphics settings, yet nothing happens when I start it up and try to use. Whats going on? How to get it working? Seriously Lanimar, you released a stable version yet your features don't even work

Works just fine for me. Are you making sure to start TrackIR before you launch XP 11?

Is the latest TrackIR software installed? Does the TrackIR show up and work in the TrackIR software preview?
If so, then in X-Plane, have you set up a key to activate TrackIR? That's in the settings -> keyboard tab. Type "trackir" in the search bar. You'll see "Toggle TrackIR control" show up. Assign a key to it (you can do the same with a joystick button of course).
Then, in 3d cockpit view, use this button or key to enable or disable head-tracking.

Yea that was it, wow I'm in an idiot. I guess when I tried the first time forgot to start up trackir first before xplane :)

To add to this, always run XP 11 and TrackIR as administrator. It is always good to run any flight sim third party products or XP 11 to avoid any issues.

Many a times have I had to run programs as admin to get TrackIr working. Make sure to follow Phils advice, he is a dev after all. These are just my anecdotes anyway.

Heh, yea I know how annoying it is when that happens. I get all prepped setting up everything for a flight then boom I totally forget to launch TrackIR first, total pain sometimes.

Guys I am having problems starting the FreeTrack- TrackIR I have tried with different programs/clients I have tried to follow the above steps but it still does not work, can anyone help?

It works for other games and it worked here just one and now it does not work at all only for X-Plane 11

Perfectly fine to make a mistake and admit it, but immediately blaming your own issue on a broken game feature is acting like a whiny baby. Not a real good look.
