Arma 2 won't recognize TrackIR 5!!

[maronkoman 10]

Hi!

I have a trackIR 5 with a trackclip pro, with the latest software updates.

I had been playing it without problems for some days. But suddenly Arma 2 wont recognize the trackir anymore. Only the left green light is lighted when I crank up Arma. (supposed to be two! means it recognizes a game i think)

- The trackIR is working perfectly in the program. All the angles is correct and the IR lights is detected by the trackIR device.

- The controls in the settings menu is correct in the game. All the TrackIR settings should be right.

It just won't syncronize anymore! Tried to google it 1000 times but it seems noone else is having the same problem. Anyone with any tips? Will be grateful for any help :)

turn the trackIR off and on again in the arma2 in game controller settings

turn the trackIR off and on again in the arma2 in game controller settings

Just found out that was the only place I hadnt checked. Under Controls>Controller it does not list my TrackIR as it did before.

What can the reason be for Arma 2 suddenly not recognizing it? It has worked before! The Arma 2 option is listed in my TrackIR, it is set to One:One setting.

I found the source of my problem! It was a ambient light in the background showing as a red dot in the upper right camera display. Have sat for hours trying to find the solution and one click of a lightswitch solved the problem!

I'm gonna buy TIR5 in some days too, so thanks for sharing the solution, in case that problem comes for me too.

Sounds like as if you would have to get the money together first. ;-)

Perhaps try freetrack in the meantime? (search forum, there's a lot of info)

Any ambient light will trip up the TrackIR. The new ones are better at filtering it out, but if you have a lamp in view or even sunlight falling on a wall, the TrackIR will be affected.
