Here is what ChatGPT would do: Most likely: TrackIR is launching but its UI/settings file is corrupted or the window is hidden/off-screen. NaturalPoint support specifically suggests deleting Settings.xml and ProfileMap.dat from the TrackIR AppData folder for this kind of issue, especially after display/profile changes. Do this first: Close it fully Open Task Manager End every TrackIR5.exe / TrackIR process. Reset the TrackIR window/settings Press Win + R Paste this: %AppData%\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5 Before deleting anything, copy the Profiles folder somewhere safe. Then delete or rename these two files if present: Settings.xml ProfileMap.dat Start TrackIR again, preferably right-click → Run as administrator once. Your profiles are normally stored here: C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5\ProfilesNaturalPoint also lists that AppData location as one of the profile locations, so back that folder up before doing any bigger reinstall. Also try this quick off-screen-window trick: Start TrackIR. Press Alt + Space Press M Press any arrow key Move the mouse around — the hidden window may snap back onto the screen. If that does not help, do the clean reinstall route: Unplug the TrackIR camera. Uninstall TrackIR. Uninstall NaturalPoint Drivers if listed. Delete/rename: C:\Program Files (x86)\NaturalPoint Reboot. Install the latest TrackIR software from the official TrackIR downloads page. The current download page says it is for TrackIR 5-series hardware or newer and Windows 10 or newer. Plug the camera back in only after install. I’d start with deleting/renaming Settings.xml and ProfileMap.dat. That is the least destructive and fits your symptom exactly: blue circle, process running, but no grid/UI.

Come on with 75, you've got plenty time left. I've done this fiddly community folder thing once, added 3 at a time. If the error comes up you have to troubleshoot between 3, but it saves a lot of time.

I understand, in my case the trigger was MSFS2024, never happened with 2020. Things just happen at some point and checking with Windows Task Manager is not rocket science, won't cost any money and is not time-consuming at all. I only pointed out how I solved an issue, very similar to OP's issue, on my end.

I had these annoying pauses weeks ago and found out, whenever it happened, I noticed increased disk usage / activity on my dedicated MSFS NVME in Task Manager. So I fitted a better performing NVME drive - all sorted. Slow SLC cache, occupied storage space is higher than 50%, PCIE lane, could affect performance of NVME's. This is what I found out on the internet. Easy enough to check on your issue and take it from there. Good luck Mick

Alright, I have AutoFPS running with Vsync on, just to let you know.

Never experienced it, just so much smoother working than Trackir. I will never go back.

Hi there, Have you considered trying the AutoFPS App? I think it's the same developer. AutoFPS is a bit more advanced, but works really well. Just leave the Expert Options unchecked and take it from there. Have a good one Mick

I am keeping an eye on this thread, looks like it's the only way if you purchased directly. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/seasons-2024-enhanced-by-bijan-released/456640/4135

Hi Ron, In the Microsoft Store App, on the bottom left, you'll find a klick for the library, there is another one in the Xbox app, try it there. Good luck Mick

Have a look at the manual, page 143, last line.

You’re absolutely right! I totally forgot about the Dukes — perfect example of how we (or at least I) tend to remember only the bad things. I had trouble finding the Lvars for the Bonanza, and that’s all I remembered. Next time, before I make any negative remarks, I’ll remind myself to check more thoroughly first.

Would you mind sharing? Couldn't find a thing...?

I totally agree with Dave, finding lvars is the actual challenge. Once you have them, it's a piece of cake then. And yes, Just Flight are not the best on this field.

Hi, Yes this is one option and during the process the installer asks you if you want it inside or outside the sim installed. You create locations / folders to your liking and set it accordingly in the Orbx app and point there during installation. As far as I remember, they want you to create this in a Orbx folder. Good luck

That's embarrassing, sorry for that. Here it is: Sorry again Mick
