TRACKIR INOP with the Q400

... no pun intended. 

 

On a serious note, my TrackIR (version 5, with track clip pro) has ceased functioning in the Dash 8 - works with every other aircraft.

 

Anyone had any similar issues or have a potential fix?

 

Cheers in advance!

The first time I test the Dash I had the same problem, but solved reloading the aircraft. Now it run ok with TrackIR 5.1 and EZCA. (Latest version 5.2 doesn't work with EZCA).

 

It seems that the Dash isn't too much friend of EZCA...

In my system with Windows 8 x64 the TrackIR 5.2 doesn't work with EZCA.

Interesting. My shows version 5.2 and it works. I also checked TrackIR forum and there may be some fix for this and I maybe applied it, really can't remember, so many SP's, fixes, updates, .. with FSX it's hard to remember everything. Now TrackIr is saying it has another new update but of course now I really don't want to apply it since for me at the moment it works and I use TrackIR mostly for FSX (once in a while I swap my Yoke for Wheel in race a bit).

No problems here with TrackIR 5.1, EZDok and the Q400, just make sure you remember to enable the TIR button on each EZDok view you want to use TrackIR with.

Cheers, Andy.

TrackIR 5.2 works perfectly fine with EZCA, but only if you remember to disable the simconnect.manifest files in the TrackIR folder again, so that EZCA can intercept the camera data and send it to FSX without interference from the TrackIR software. Just follow the TrackIR/EZCA setup instructions again that you already must have followed before at some point, before you updated TrackIR to the new version.

 

I ran into trouble there as well, until I realized that the update restored those files with new versions.  ^_^
