Have not had any trouble using TrackIR working on P3D, as long as TrackIR is opened first.
But I have had trouble if a key has been assigned to two or more tasks.

I believe it's suggested that TrackIR be running before you start a session.
About the double key assignment, as an example: The default key to center TIR is Home, and F9 to pause TIR.
If in P3D or FSX, F9 is assigned to another function like a view, then there's a problem when using TIR and P3d together. It's bitten me before. That's why I mentioned it.

Thanks for clearing that up. I will check.

I went through all the settings and deleted all the assignments with HOME, F9 and F12 and it still didn't work.

Make sure the games list in the Tir software is up to date.
a button should appear in the top right of the screen if it needs updating.

I tried that. The trackIR software and game profiles are up to date. No joy.
