July 25, 20178 yr Keven - Installed ChasePlane in P3Dv3 which was previously running EZDoc. The Installer reported it was disabling EZDoc. Started TrackIR. Then P3Dv3 with Chaseplane auto launching. Green ""+TrackIR" was on in the gui. I was able to import .ecs files I'd previously saved for my airplanes. After assigning keys and preferences all seems to work fine. However; I notice that if P3D launches a scenario using these former EZDok airplanes, EZDok gets launched concurrently. If I kill EZdok, the Chaseplane cameras still work but the TrackIR connection is disabled - though ChasePlane still shows a green "+TrackIR" connection. So apparently with my former EZDok imported cameras, EZDok is still needed in the TrackIR data path. Is this normal, and I should ignore it ? Or will it cause me trouble in the long run ? (Incidentally EZDok isn't launched if I set up Chaseplane for a different P3Dv3 airplane that wasn't previously configured for EZDok. After discovering this I ran EZDok's config.exe in an attempt to restore all my P3Dv3 cameras back to pre EZDok configuration. The config.exe program seemed to work - at least it didn't report any errors. However when I restarted ChasePlane, it reported a "corrupted camera config in P3Dv3" and fixed it. Restarted P3D again hoping the EZDok dependency might disappear, but it didn't, tho ChasePlane ran OK. ) What steps do you recommend I take, if any ? Chuck
July 25, 20178 yr Commercial Member Uninstalling EzDok would be the solution I can give you. Having both on the same system is like installing 2 anti-viruses on the same system. They will both try to kill each other and you'll end up with 2 misconfigured, non-working software. Keven Menard Technical Director, //42.
July 25, 20178 yr Author Afraid you'd say that ! Incidentally just discovered that if I kill EZDok and then simply restart ChasePlane, the TrackIR link to P3D works as it should ..without EZDok running. So that procedure will do till I can get around to saving all my FSX .ecs and uninstalling EZDok completely. BTW appreciated quick answer. FSFX is known for service, and I see why !
