Now that my move to new apartment is done and dust settled, I dug out TrackIR and set it up. Works fine on the TrackIR Head Screens, CFS3 is checked for Titles, but there's no movement in the cockpit. I know this has got to be something simple, But I can't find it.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Both lights are on? Don't have Ctrl + F9 active?

Have you accidentally toggled padlock on (tilde key)? If so, TrackIR will not be responsive.

High over the Front
It should be WOFF in the titles not CFS3.
I would re- run the "Check for Game Updates" and see if "Wings over Flanders Fields" is listed.

The default "Pause" command for TrackIR is the F9 key.

So if you hit the F9 key whilst flying the sim, then you would've toggled the TrackIR off.

I always change the Function hotkeys on the TrackIR settings to Ctrl+F9/Ctrl+F10 etc. To be sure they don't conflict with the sim.

Duke's suggestion is also a good one since some people had to update their TIR software before v2 worked with it.

Raine's is likewise a common problem. With the Padlock toggle on, and no target selected, your view is locked straight forward until you toggle it again.

One of those should be the issue.

Both lights? No. Just the Green one.

Hauksbee did you check that sticky post I linked too? There's a section on this exact issue.

I did, and Thank You. I got 5.2.2 installed and updated the Titles list so WOFF now appears. TrackIR is up and running again.
