Hi. after last update the track ir doesn´t work.

Anyone can help me?

Regards.

There's a few threads about it.  Turn it on before starting the sim like normal.  When in the sim, if you move the camera out of bounds it will lose connection.  Open the Cameras icon on the floating menu while in sim.  Re-enable TIR and it will start working again.  You can also bind a key to enable it.  Someone also made a mod at flightsim.to that runs to automatically re-enable it as well..

Workaround: Go to Control settings, Keyboard, and search for Head Tracking. Select a button to turn tracking on or off (for example F10), and use that to turn on and off head tracking instead of the TrackIR default F9.

The issue is that MSFS turns head tracking off when you click F9 (to pause tracking), but it doesn't turn it on again so you need a new key bind. You can find the same button in the Camera drop down menu. 

Another issue is that the view will revert to center when you toggle tracking on or off, but there's no workaround for it yet. 

If you don't like changing key bindings, you could have a look at this mod:

They broke it with this update and hoping they will fix it with a hotfix. Hopefully they address a bunch of other weird things introduced with SU7. 

@sudqui Make sure you vote in the bug thread for it.

Another TIR thread? Doesn't anybody read the $%^$£** forums?

thx for the head up regarding voting and the workarround 😉

Hi. Thanks, it works but as you said, I have to open again the camera window to re enabled.

Hi, I´m going to download the software to see if it works, thanks,

You can bind a key to enable TIR eliminating the need to open the window.

Looks like the mod was removed due to Windows false flagging it as a trojan. The person who made it is repacking the software in a new executable (exe) and should fix the issue.

That original TrackIR fix file from Fightsim.to was moved to here:  https://github.com/toorop/AutoTrackIR/releases

Thank you for that info. Very good!

I've been using the autotrackIR exe for the last couple of days and it's completely eliminated the frustration of MSFS disabling TrackIR. I've monitored it's resource use in taskman and find it uses no CPU time until it's triggered, and then only tenths of a percent. Another benefit is that I can again pause TrackIR tracking and not have to worry about MSFS disabling it, as the exe just re-enables it even before I unpause.

That's good to know.

But the view still gets centered if you pause it right? Because that's one thing that really irks me. I want to be able to look at my instruments, radio stack or similar.. and then pause to adjust something and then unpause and continue.
