Track IR cuts out randomly and stops working in NO

[grizzled willow]

My track IR works great except for NO, where it cuts out randomly and stops working. Even a restart doesn't alway fix it. The track IR software doesn't recognize the game as a supported title until I start a mission and the 2nd green light comes on (on the IR camera). Then all the sudden it stops working and the 2nd green light disappears.

any word on this issue? I had the same problem. I'll fly a mission, at some point it stops tracking. but the track IR software is running good in the background

being investigated 👍

Did some testing and was able to use opentrack to work with no glitches

Has there been any word as to whether this has been fixed? This is a major blocker that keeps me from playing regularly, as I don't like having to look around with buttons.

Im not sure. But try look at settings some settings to fix it

What settings do you think would work?

A work around which works for me is when this happens,try restarting the trackIR software when in the cockpit view. At least you don't have to restart the game using this way.

This was fixed in a previous update, but started for me again with the .29 update. Trackir disconnects at game start and randomly while in mission. Quitting and restarting the mission, restarting trackir, and restarting the game are the workarounds that I know of.

@scarlet prairie when will you finally fix it? For me that is also a major issue that keeps me away from playing more NO… NO is such a good Game. Pls fix it soon!
Flightsimulation/ Flightgames without headtracking is NOT an Option (at least for me) :/

[scarlet prairie]

its inconsistent to replicate, and im not a dev so i cant say

I came here to see how surprised I was to see that this is still a bug from last year lol. I am constantly having this issue 100% of the time. Works fine in first game. Then every subsequent game after that just doesn't work.

Really sucks. Get booted, host quits, or just quit to join another game makes the Track IR non Functional in-game. Gotta close Track IR, Close Game then restart both every time I join a new match Just to get everything working again. :/

Restarting TrackIR from the cockpit view doesn’t work for me. I have to restart the whole game.

@indigo trench you are a DEV right? Can you give us a idea, when this issue will get fixed? Hopefully very soon…

[errant forum]

I'm happy to help troubleshoot if needed to help ascertain the issue.

[scarlet prairie]

Yes

[errant forum]

Hoping I can be around. Get off work about 30 mins before that so hopefully I can get home in time.

I can say this though. I am using Trackir Version 5.4.2.27545 which is NOT the latest version of TrackIR. I had to downgrade because the newest version of the software does not detect the game and can never get working.

[plucky pike]

There are many folks that can't get v5.5 working at all, and no natural point driver updates seem to fix the issues. 5.4 seems to be the most stable version at the moment.

[errant forum]

Ya, considering how old TrackIR is, I'm not surprised that software updates are scarce as is.

Surprised there havnt been more mainstream simple Tracking methods readily available outside of Tobii Eye Tracker. TrackIR definitely wasn't designed with thin modern computer monitor bezels in mind.

look up beam eye track
