Not sure how this is possible but it seems that once I got TrackIR working in MSFS 2024, it stopped working in MSFS 2020.  Has anybody else had this issue?  Very frustrating.  I've tried everything.  Just have the left had light on on the unit.  Help!!

Are you sure you did not just accidentally disable TracKIR in the 2020 camera toolbar menu? Or via the key command (don't remember what it's by default)?

If so, try a game update in the track Ir app

No.  I've tried all of that.  

This happens to me if I exit the sim - any sim, 2020 or 2024 - and then start it again while Track IR is running. Only the left green light will be on and Track IR wouldn't work. So whenever I exit the sim I also shut down Track IR and then start it again. Other than that it's been working flawlessly. 

Does this happen always, even when you turn the computer on? I assume you first run Track IR and then MSFS?

Well, it seems that the latest version of the TrackIR software that is required for MSFS2024, doesn't ( at least for me) work with 2020.  I have reverted back to TrackIR version 5.4.2 and it is now working in MSFS 2020.  This is so frustrating.

Which version of TrackIR software do you use?

The latest, I've just updated approximately two weeks ago. I'll check tomorrow morning when I'm behind my main computer.

By the way, how old is your Track IR hardware?

I don't see any specific version of TrackIR software required for MSFS2024. What you probably forgot to do is update the  TrackIR Games Database to include MSFS2024. Look thru the "titles" window and see if Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is in there.

V5.5.3 of their software does work with MSFS2020.

I have one but I just can not get used to it.  Keep going back to TrackIR.  Part of my problem may be that both devices do not play well together on the same machine.

Unplug the Tobii, restart your PC,  and see if that solves your problem.

This! I have v5.5.3. and  MSFS2024 in Games Database.

Went back to ver. 5.4.2 and it works.  Then tried 5.5.3 again and no joy.  This is for 2020.

That is the one I use, 5.4.2  with FS 2020.

Same here - I hated the Tobi so I sent it back.
