I have been playing LO FC for at least a year. I was playing it exclusively for the last 3-4 months. On sunday everything worked fine. However tonight when I tried to load in my latest mission, the trackir4 was not working. I have not changed anything with Trackir4, LOFC or my computer.

I have been looking through the options screens and do not see a button or switch that indicates Trackir is on or off in LO...is there such a place...however like is said...the trackir4 was working all the time before with no issues.

When I start trackir 4 it works fine. My head movement is accurate.. and then I select Lockon in the menu system and minimize. Howeve when I go into LO FC, and pick a mission, my head movement does not move. (it always worked fine till now). When I exit and click on Trackir 4 again,,,my head movement is fine again.


Where can I check.

P.S. I am using Win XP

From the FAQ:

Help! My TrackIR doesn't work. How do I fix it?
Lock On 1.12a has a bug where the TrackIR sometimes stops responding. To correct this, delete the TrackIR.ini file in the \Lock On\Input folder and the TrackIR file (no extension) in the \Lock On\Input folder. These files will be recreated when you next start Lock On and the TrackIR should work again.

This happens usually when one goes into their setup screen. You can edit the lockon.bat file to delete the trackir.ini file automatically on game launch.
