TrackIR does not work
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Hello. I just got ARMA3 up and running, and my Track IR does not work. I have a Track IR 4, and am running the latest software (5.2). It works fine in other games.

It lights up when I start the game, and shows up in the controllers. I have enabled it.

Also, if I go into the key mapping routine, moving my head will register. So the game knows I have a TrackIR and it is reading its movements.

But when I go on a mission, nothing. Nada. Zip.

This is AWEFUL !!! TrackIR made ARMA2 so awesome....I can't go on without TrackIR working in ARMA3.

Thanks for the help. And thanks for making such an awesome game! ARMA3 IS INCREDIBLE !!!!

I use TrackIR 5 and it works great in ARMA 3 BUT...

Every once in a while it randomly stops working.
I have figured out that if I simply go into the control settings then exit back to game it works again :-s

A really unpredictable and strange bug.

September 22 2014: UPDATE ! USER ERROR !! I did not realize you have to set the TrackIR up in the "Views" part of the controls. Did that, and now everything is golden.

Sorry for wasting people's time here...
