I have never had a problem with my TrackIR FSX SP2 Acceleration. Is this an out of the box problem or just started. Either way, do you have the latest drivers from Natural Point and also your graphics card?

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

How well would Track IR work with my system (below)? Just for grins, I looked into the Track IR and I think it's something I might want to add to my computer-- it if works. Anybody here using it with FS9? How well does it work for you?

Hi All,

No - it appears my PC is playing up at the moment so I'm probably being unfair to TrackIR.

One thing I don't like is that everything on the VC panel is much more shimmery and flickery while the trackIR is on.
