How to enable 6DoF with TrackIR 3?

[Jwizzle]

I tried posting this in the help forum but it doesn't seem to get very much attention.  Apologies to the mods.

I've got TIR3 with the vector expansion clip but I don't seem to know how to enable 6DoF.

Also, is there a way to get the Saitek X52's trim wheels to be used for trim?

Hmm,
I have track ir 3 pro with the vector expansion thing.

I just start the trackir software and enter the game.

A blue led is lit, and tir is a working.

Did you enter the vector expansion code into the trackir program?
Have you in trackir program profiles under edit selected vector?
Does vector work with the TrackIr software head thing?

Hope you get it to work, cos this trackir thing rocks

Yeah, I've got all the vector stuff working - code and all - I use the hat with the clip all the time.  But for some reason I can't get the side-to-side/up-and-down/forward-and-back movement that I'm supposed to. =(

Never mind, got it

I forgot to set the right profile.  D'oh!

You cannot have auto-combat trim on and use the trim rotaries as well.  Auto-Combat trim must be off if you want to use those rotaries for manual trim.

You can assign the rotaries as trim in the joystick settings folder.

On my X45 I can set the rotaries for trim tabs, but.....I can only get the elevators and ailerons to move half of their normal travel. So I have to keep trim mapped to a hat switch.
