The 'Title' always reads 'None'. I have selected WOFF from the list but it makes no difference.

Also the LEDs do not go blue when running TrackIr and WOFF UE.

I am running W10 if that makes a difference.

did all that and it makes no difference!

I get four red dim lights to show the TrackIR has power.

And a green LED to show that it spots my hat.

But no blue light when I go into WOFF.

Hi Robert, as I wrote above I have tried all that. But I don't see the Title and I don't get the blue LED when in WOFF!

Is it possible your TrackIR is faulty? Have you tried it in orhwr sims/games
Does it work when you are adjusting it's settings?

Jim, one more thing to check.

When you open TrackIR you will see a tab "Profiles". In the display bar just under it you will see the word "Profile:" and a display box beside it which indicates what profile is being used. There is also a box labelled "Exclusive" which may or may not be checked. and to the right of this is a "plus sign" which if pressed will allow you to create a custom profile. If you want to use the custom profile you can select it from the drop down box to the right of the "Profile:" label but the "Exclusive" box must be unchecked first and then rechecked after selecting the profile you want to use.

When you open TrackIR on your screen and you click on the "Titles" tab, you should see a list of games and to the left of each game under the "Profile" heading you will see the word "Default" for each game listed.
What do you see for the game "Combat Flight Simulator 3"? it should either be your custom profile or "Default".

Hope this helps

I see Combat Flight Simulator 3 and also Wings over Flanders Fields. Both are on Default. But clicking on either (or any of the others for that matter) doesn't change the Title field.

I have TrackIR 3 hardware so it is supposed to show a blue light when connected to a game it recognises. And it always used to do this before.

But maybe I have to be in the cockpit. How do I do this?

Set to free flight, and altitude to ground. Make sure you have a pilot enlisted

Jim, when you highlight the Combat Flight Simulator 3, you will see a dropdown box cursor on the far right side of the word "Default". If you click on the triangle shaped cursor you will be able to select the profile you want to use.

Jim, I forgot to mention in my last post that the dropdown box to change "Default" will not show up unless you uncheck the "Exclusive" box first and then recheck it after. Hope this clarifies things

When you say Title are you speaking of what shows up in the Profile box?
I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. Maybe a picture from you would help.

I think this is a screenshot of the TrackIR screen itself... If this works

See that it says Title: none

Ok Jim

As I stated before, you need to try the following:

1) in the profile dropdown menu, select the profile of your choice
2) click on the "Titles" tab and go to the "Combat Flight Simulator 3" entry click on it to hifhlight it and then click on the triangle button on the far right of that entry which will show a dropdown where you can select your custom profile. Do the same for the WOFF entry.
3) click on the "Profiles" tab and then click on the square box just left of the "Exclusive" label which will put a check mark in the box.
4) save your changes by clicking the disk icon on the far right of this same line.

Let me know how that goes.
