Thanks Guys, appreciate your comments.
USB Port: I can confirm that the device is recognized, as it audibly confirms a connection after being plugged in. It also can be found in the list of devices. Haven’t tried a different port but as I said, the device is recognized when connected so the port appears to be OK.
TrackIR Application: This shows the device as READY, green indicator but no movement on cross hairs or if heads chosen, no movement. I’ve downloaded fresh software and re-tested with the same behavior.
Thinking the device was damaged: This is my second TrackIR. The first one was affected by a thunderstorm and was completely dead. I’ve had this one for over ten years. I can Pause it - It lights up with the usual red light and you can see it polling occasionally as it does when idle. In addition, I noticed from forum details where many years ago, a window update caused issues and a number of people suggested they had very similar behavior to my device. I did notice the PC did an auto update in the last couple of days, so I went to the Update app and checked for any updates and downloaded any outstanding ones. After a reboot TrackIR sprang into life as soon as I loaded it up however after viewing the Heads display and moving my head and recentering etc, it stopped working. The only way I could get it to work again was to reboot and load TrackIR up again. Once working I opened XPlane 11 and it worked perfectly during my testing (around 5 - 10 mins). I then closed XPlane and loaded MSFS. Firstly the device wasn’t listed and no TrackIR movement was active. So I rebooted and attempted to first just get it working in the TrackIR app but no success.
The device is a TrackIR 4 but using the latest drivers for TrackIR 5. It has been working perfectly for more years than I can remember. Wouldn’t fly without it on a monitor and use it often in FSX, P3dV4.5, XPlane 11.5 and MSFS.
One thing I’ll do today, is fire up my previous PC and plug in TrackIR. If it works, I know it isn’t the device.
My reason for checking here, is the vast number of people that have requested TrackIR support that, if it’s a problem effected by a Windows update, would also be affected like me. I’m just ruling out possibilities.
Hope this provides sufficient details to help you with suggestions.
