IL2 BOS and Track IR

Hi Guys…

Got BOS now and unfortunately don’t get Track IR running there. Its simply not recognized.

Already searched the web and changed the entry within the startup.cfg: old_trackir = 1 which was set to “0” before. Didn’t help.

Made an update of game list within TIR software and BOS appears there now…didn’t help.

Made an “is software of TIR up to date” check …yes it is: quote:

The TrackIR software you are using is up to date!
The TrackIR version you are using is : 4.2.039
The most recent TrackIR version available is : 4.2.039…
didn’t help.

MyTrack IR works fine with every other game I play: IL2 1946…Cliffs of Dover…just fine…

Anyone have a solution or Trick?

Think I got TRK IR 3 with Driver as shown above!

Thx in advance.

I’m sure it needs the trackir 5 software…won’t recognise any older versions

Ja, most probably. Thx for caring Puff.

Yesterday I already made a test with Track IR 5 software.

Result: My Track IR 3 is recognized by the Natural Point driver software. Green Button is on. But…the green light of the device itself doesn’t switch on…reason: by the looks of it:

I only have a Track Hat!

No Vector Clip or Track Clip no connection to the Track IR sensor!

Lets try to be diplomatic and call this prob errr exotic, ain’t it?

Quote out of the 5.4.0 Manual:

4.2 Tracking Types

There are two types of tracking in the TrackIR software: one for use with the standard TrackClip and one for the
TrackClip PRO headset accessory. For information about how to change the “Tracking Target”, please see section 5.7.

I use the Track IR 3 Pro with the latest software and it works in BoS, or it did last time I tried it. I don’t go on it very often though - so it might not now.

In the interface on the left, above all the profile settings, there should be two buttons you can switch between Track Clip PRO and Track Hat. Make sure you have selected the track hat? I’m away so cannot see the interface myself.

Thx all for the input!

Single dot tracking is no longer available. Even if you purchased the Vector Expansion, our software will no longer track only one dot. As of this moment we no longer have access to our older software either.

Build a custom vector clip…
if you need measures let me know

or even better buy a delan clip

should work as the trackir pro clip but cheaper and more sturdy!

just check if the tir3 recognize the pro clip

i have the pro clip so i don’t use mine so in case of problems let me know!

Thank you Jimmi for your ideas…very kind.

I decided to order Track IR 5 basic. (Track Clip included)

I already got it and I’m very happy to have that one now…as well.

This new Tracker offers really more features actually, its fantastic with all the additional views I have now.

Oh yes, almost forgot…BOS recognizes it immediately here.

So all more than fine now.

ok perfect! Happy for you!

we have a probable new 51 trainee that’s in the market for a TIR do you sell your old one??

Jimmi, I’ll keep the old one as a backup…and for another PC.

Ok it was worth trying!
