Trackir
How do I get Trackir to function in ATS. Software run. Camera set up. Sensors attacked to cap. ATS selected in Trakir list of games.. Please excuse my lack of knowledge.

It should work fine without doing anything...always has for me without selecting ATS from the game list...is everything good when just on the Trackir setup screen? Are both green lights lit when you enter the game? I do have to have Trackir running before i start ATS..

Need track ir running before starting the game, I also need my wheel or controller plugged in for track ir to detect the keybinds in the tracking software.

Also don't you have to check "USe head tracking" in the settings? Not sure that exactly what it's called in the settings but I thought there was something in there to check before it will work.

No the TrackIR software does all the game detection.
Just make sure the trackir software and game list is up to date.
Make sure the correct tracking clip is selected in Basic Settings.
Start TrackIR, left side green led should be on which indicates the clip is being tracked.
Then when game is detected both left and right green LED should light up.
If not close the game and open up the config file in Documents/ATS folder.
Look for the line TrackIR and it needs to be set to 1.

Nope. The tobii head tracking settings have no effect for track ir. I have and use both depending on if I use my wheel or casually play with my xbox controller and I never fool with my settings.
