Track IR 5 not working in P3D

Featured Replies

I just bought a new computer and set up P3D v4.5 and downloaded the latest Track IR 5 but cannot get it to work.  I went into P3d and installed simconnect but that didn't work.  I don't understand computers very well so I'm hoping someone can help me get Track IR going.  Thanks

Hi Rodger,

Did you run the (4) Simconnect installs in the distro directory that seemed to deal with English ? I think I ran (4) to get it to work...

If so - right click on your Track IR icon - select "Properties" under the "Compatibility" tab - try selecting "Run As Administrator" - - - then try it... I need mine to run as admin to work...

Regards,
Scott

Thanks for you help Scott.  No I did not run the (4) Simconnect installs.  Could you please point me to the "distro directory"?  I don't know where that is.  Here is the only way I can get it to work.

1. Uninstall Track IR 5

2. Unplug the Track IR USB connection

3. Restart my computer

4. Plug in Track IR

5. Reinstall Track IR

6. Start Track IR

7. Start P3D

8. Open as administrator

As it is right now I must do this every time to get it to work.

Hi Rodger,

I'm not in front of my PC at the moment - going from recollection - [P3Dv4 folder]\redist\Interface - I think two of them were language specific Russian and Japanese ? I didn't install them - if you work your way through the other respective sub directories - you'll find the installers for each one of the other four version - which I did install...

I'm not guaranteeing this will work for you - but it did for me...

Regards,
Scott

Ok, thanks Scott.  Appreciate the help.  Thanks

EDIT: never mind, I just saw it was resolved.

Was it resolved?  I’ve never been able to get TIR working with P3D, even after installing the simconnect files.

Hi Dave,

Did you try as running as admin as well ?

I'm pretty sure the "simconnect" and "admin" are the only two things I did to get it working...

Hi Scott.  I tried to get back to you all evening yesterday but I had problems logging in to AVSIM.  Just wanted to tell you that your suggestion worked.  So, thanks for your help.  Much appreciated.
