May 30, 20233 yr Been on a 7 hour long haul, coming up for the arrival. Seems like TIR is no longer reading head movements in the sim (although it is tracking head movements in the app calibration/settings). Is there any way to get it to reconnect the sim without shutting down the session? I have closed and restarted TIR. Same issue Edited May 30, 20233 yr by ErichB

Same issue I have had that happened once or twice in two years, I ended up having to restart MSFS. I wound up using the mouse to look around until I landed. Edited May 30, 20233 yr by Bobsk8

Same issue No way to reconnect TrackIR headset functionality when it drops out. *However*, you can use TrackIR Mouse Emulation to perform a similar function. It's not perfect, yet it can save you from rage-quitting the sim, especially if you are well into a flight.

May 30, 20233 yr Did you try disabling and then re-enabling TrackIR support in the Cockpit Camera settings popup window in the sim? I don't know if it'll work (and I can't test it myself as I'm 2 weeks away from my sim computer) but it's worth a try.

But, usually it needs a re-start. Rick Abshier 5900X | RTX 5070 Ti OC| 64 GB@3600 | India Pale Ale
May 30, 20233 yr This works 100% of the time for me when TrackIR disconnects: Open the windows search bar, enter “mouse emulation” and run it.

May 30, 20233 yr Mouse Emulation works for me yeah if this happens, although sometimes I restart TrackIR and jags it back but on those occasions I think I just got lucky.

I also added a link to it on my taskbar (so I don't have to search for it).

Honestly, I had the same problem you're describing many times and wondered how to restart TIR. I did the same exact thing you keep trying...no go until I found the TrackIR mouse emulation app solution. Give it a try...what will it hurt?

Does it recover head tracking in-game, or does that just mean you can look around using mouse movements (which I was able to do, but did not want)
