Title: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: Pongo on October 02, 2016, 06:39:58 PM: Getting all my controls mapped but cannot figure out how to get Track IR to show up in game. Aces High 2 is in the enhanced list but Aces High 3 is not does that matter? The little application detect light will not come on on the Track IR. Hope you can help, thanks

Thanks for the help.

Try renaming the settings folder.

This is especially true if you updated trackir software.

Post by: Skuzzy on October 03, 2016, 06:15:26 AM: TrackIR should just work. This is the only case, I am aware of, anyone had any issue getting it to go.
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: Pongo on October 03, 2016, 10:15:45 AM: Part of why I was confused, TrackIR has its issues but not in game detection. I will look at the profile thing. But I do not see Aces High 3 in their list only aces high 2. And not sure if it tracks to an exe name. Cause there are two now. And neither works.

Post by: FLS on October 03, 2016, 10:23:04 AM: I don't have AH3 on my list and TIR works. You can make any profile exclusive and it's used for all apps.

Which version of the TIR software are you using and which Windows OS?
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: Pongo on October 03, 2016, 10:52:21 AM: I am using the just updated version 5.4 something. Windows 7.
The issue is that Track IR cannot tell that aceshigh9.exe or aceshigh11.exe are programs it should acknowledge with a yellow light.

Open your clipboard>options>preferences>vr.

Did you check that or did the update do it?
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: Pongo on October 03, 2016, 03:46:49 PM: I checked it. Cause I have no VR gear
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: FLS on October 03, 2016, 03:55:53 PM: I was just checking if it was a bug. You don't need to do anything on the VR page.
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: Pongo on October 03, 2016, 07:32:13 PM: yes...I got that...
and it is a bug, unless you call TrackIR VR gear.
Thanks for the help all.
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: FLS on October 03, 2016, 09:56:24 PM: They probably both use a similar method to control the POV in the game. That's why you can center both with the same command. I'd call it a feature.

Might help to label it disable VR and TrackIR.
Title: Re: TrackIR detection in Aces High 3?
Post by: Pongo on October 04, 2016, 02:10:52 PM: yup, a little clarity would be good. But the TrackIR implementation is super solid in game. Very happy with it.
