I have a special OFF profile (different profile and hotkeys) which I always used with OFF.
It is linked to Combat Flight Simulator 3 in the gamelist and this worked fine with OFF.
Now with WOFF, even if I set manually my profile to OFF, it reverts automatically to "Default" as soon as WOFF starts. Any idea why ?

You must tick the selection box "Exclusive" in TrackIR menue, to keep it active.
Otherwise TrackIR will select a different one each start.

Will try that but normally once I have given a profile to a game in the list, it starts automatically with the right profile. OFF does, so I don't understand why WOFF doesn't...

I have this problem too, so I renamed the profile I wished to use for WOFF as the 'default', so I don't need to tick 'exclusive'.

WOFF has its own TrackIR interface.

I think you need to link your profile to "Over Flanders Fields" instead of Combat Flight Simulator 3.

Could you please try that and let us know how it goes?

...thanks .. rex

"Over Flanders Fields" is not in the games/sims list on the left in my menue.
I clicked on "Update games" and restarted TrackIR, but it's still not in there.
What must I do to get it into the list?

Olham the list is for TrackIR Enhanced games (TrackIR recognized) which OFF and WOFF are not but CFS3 is.

Maybe there is a way to submit them on the TrackIR site to get on the list.

I've just been using the 'Exclusive' checkbox.

I'm pretty much using the same custom TrackIR profile for everything right now, anyway, and it's easy enough to uncheck it when starting up the program if I ever need to revert to using any game-dependant ones.

How can I get [my game] TrackIR Enhanced?

Answer : If you know of a great game that isn't already on our list, but would benefit from TrackIR Enhancement, please :
Let us know! Post about it on our forums, or email us directly. If we have already contacted the game's developer (or know that your game will be TrackIR Enhanced soon), we will definitely let you know.

Contact the Developer! If we let you know that the game developer's have no plans to offer support for the TrackIR, the best thing you could do is gather a group of fans together and make your wishes known to the developers. If enough fans demand a feature long enough, any sane developer will implement it.
Implementing TrackIR SDK in basic form is really very easy for the people who are creating a game's engine. Some have done it perfectly in less than one hour! The real hurdle we have to overcome is convincing the developer that TrackIR is in fact the future of video gaming.

TrackIR reports that "Over Flanders Fields" should appear in the application list in a day or two.

Ah, at last - great; that should be another kind of "advertising" the sim!

ok. If you do a Game Update in the TrackIR software you should see both "Over Flanders Fields" and "Wings:Over Flanders Fields".

Today the correct choice is "Over Flanders Fields". "Wings: Over Flanders Fields" will not link up with the sim. In some future patch that will change and "Wings: Over Flanders Fields" will be the right one.

Not the best plan, but that's how it worked out.

Just to clarify the post

I updates my TrackIR today and now I can see in Titles both Over Flanders Fields and Wings Over Flanders Fields

Before this update I have made a Track IR profile called WOFF and linked to the Combat Flight Sim 3.

Now what do I have to do ?

- Link only WOFF profile to Wings Over Flanders Fields
- Link WOFF profile to Wings Over Flanders Fields and Combat Flight Sim 3 too ?

I ask this question because CFS3.exe and WOFF.exe are running at the same time

Thanks for the answer

Today you should link your profile to "Over Flanders Fields" and nothing else.
