TrackIR Emulation and FSX

Post by raeldor »

Hi All,

I have a lot of games working with this script, but FSX still fails to work. I've checked all the registry pointers are pointing to FreePIE, I've even renamed FreePIE.EXE to TrackIR.EXE (as some games required this), and my script reads...

def update():
trackIR.roll = -math.degrees(oculusVR.roll)
trackIR.pitch = math.degrees(oculusVR.pitch)
trackIR.yaw = -math.degrees(oculusVR.yaw)

if starting:
oculusVR.update += update

But I still get no love in FSX. Does anyone have this working in FSX? I read FSX DOES support TrackIR, it's even on their website (http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/03- ... tor-x.html).

Thanks
Ray

Just FYI, this same script works in Future Pinball (though, no roll). So that begs the question... what is FSX doing differently to detect whether TrackIR is present?

MS Flight is listed as a encrypted game by Trackir Fixer, but not FSX.
Have you tried TrackiR fixer to see if it detects the game and removes encryption?

Thanks for the reply. Yup, tried that too. No love. :(

Other than looking in the registry and checking for a running TrackIR.exe process, what else could it possibly be doing? Could this be anything to do with the 'haiku' I read about?

Thanks

You said here that you got it working with MS Flight?
