March 1, 201214 yr Hiya,I've figured out how to use TrackIR in Microsoft Flight. It's not perfect, but it does a reasonably good job.Essentially, it's simply using the TrackIR mouse emulation. But to do this, you have to assign a button on your joystick to emulate holding down the right mouse button as well. So, download Joy2Key, a free joystick keyboard emulation program. Choose your preferred joystick button and assign either/both mouse buttons. Then, open up the trackIR mouse emulation utility found in your TrackIR folder.Then, once in the game, holding down the joystick button and moving your head will move your mouse cursor, essentially giving you sorta-normal trackIR movements. It's not smooth and depending on your profile, might throw the center out of whack and you'll need to ce-center once in a while, but with normal acceleration curves it's not too bad.Enjoy.
March 1, 201214 yr Natural Point has stated on their forum that they gave Microsoft the SDK for TrackIR a while back. It's up to MS to implement it. Hopefully it won't take too long. It was a request of a number of the beta testing team.
March 1, 201214 yr That was also discovered in the beta. Someone mention the good old duct tape fix! :) ArDee
March 1, 201214 yr I would be startled if the trackir people would not be overjoyed to work with MS on a solution. If I had trackir I would have emailed them by now.EDIT: never-mind, already answered. Edited March 1, 201214 yr by HiFlyer' We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

MS has not once officially supported TiR in ANY of there flight sims, and in the past NP made back doors so there product can work. They have done this for many games. I would LOVE to see native TiR support in Flight, but if not, I hope NP finds a back door into Flight for support. My TiR 4 died last year, and the moment TiR supports Flight I will buy a new 5.

March 1, 201214 yr Kevin, I find myself turning my head to look around in the RV and nothing happens. Then I remember that I have to use the mouse to look around.
