December 25, 20223 yr Does anyone know a way to get MSFS to acknowledge TrackIR is actually running again after the TrackIR software has crashed? I just had it ruin my first flight in my shiny new 737. It doesn't crash often. It's rare. In fact, I think this was only the second time but when I have to restart TrackIR then MSFS no longer acknowledges it's running and it no longer works in the sim. The only way to get it to work as far as I can tell is to restart the sim. So does anyone know of a way to get it working again without me having to bin my flight? 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2

December 25, 20223 yr Have you tired closing and restarting Track IR while the sim is running? Works for me.

That's the point I was making, buddy. Because it doesn't work I have to restart the sim. 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2
December 26, 20223 yr When does this happen? In my case, the only time MSFS loses Trackir is when I make exaggerated moves like putting the headpiece on while they leds are switched on. It seems like MSFS is getting data that it can't compute and thus stops analysing it.

December 26, 20223 yr I have never been able to revcover TrackIr while the sim is running. Regards, Max (YSSY) i7-12700K | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB 3600MHz DDR4 | Gigabyte RTX4090 24Gb | Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE DDR4 | Corsair HX1200 PSU
December 26, 20223 yr Commercial Member OK guys if it crashes restart trackir and then search for mouse emulation. Then it will work.

It seems like MSFS is getting data that it can't compute and thus stops analysing it. Almost never. As I have said, I think this is only the second time in 14 months of using MSFS. I don't fly without TrackIR. I had that theory about MSFS losing it with exagerated moves after the last time it happened and I have since tested that to extremes and it hasn't ever gone nuts on me. Besides, I think it's TrackIR that is crashing and when it does the sim loses it but never acknowledges it has been restarted. Once TrackIR software feezes and needs to be restarted MSFS won't link with it again until you restart the sim. I was hoping that someone had figured out a way to avoid the restart but so far, it doesn't seem so. 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2

December 26, 20223 yr I had Track IR intermittently shut down, after it was about 13 years old. Problem was the USB interface in track IR which died of old age. A new Track IR about 1 1/2 years ago, and it never shut down again.

December 26, 20223 yr Mouse emulation works. I ended up creating a shortcut to the mouse emulation on my desktop.
