TrackIR software version 5.22 *WARNING*

[Auger]

I just upgraded to the latest version of the TrackIR software.  I highly suggest that you make a backup of your profiles.  The new version installed right over my "smooth" profile    That'll teach me to tweak default profiles and not rename them.

What are the clamed benefits of 5.22?

[The Fugitive]

It looks like they added Win8 support.

Was that just a correction to the driver changes/requirements in win8?

[Auger]

They added a 64 bit driver.  Also, TrackIR has to run as admin now.

My win 7 rig is 64 bit I still use the 5.0 software. Upgrading my help it run fster if it never used 64 prior. but I'm nervous about side effects. By the way, sisnce I'm stupid, I don't know what "run s administator" really means, or whether that's a hassle. If you could explain, I'd appreciate it.

If you only have one account on your Windows 7 PC then you are already administrator.  I usually run as a non-admin account for security reasons.  If you run as non-admin it means you have to type in the administrators password when you start the new version of TrackIR.  I need to fly a bit more before I can say if the upgrade was worth it.
