Hi,

After having gone through all the other XP/Nvidia/FSX tweaks (and got FSX running smooth), I suddenly realised I've got some serious stutter going on with Track IR (v4 w TrackClip Pro).

Sometimes it's fine, most of the time it 'hangs' as I look around. It almost feels like it's 'running' at 3-5fps, at least for a second or so. Often this just happens when I look LEFT and not when I look right(!). Not good for flying standard traffic patterns...

FSX is running silky smooth though. If I turn TrackIR off and use a hat switch to pan around the virtual cockpit then all is good. Even when Track IR stutters, I can see the landscape move smooth at 24fps...

This is getting really annoying. Hope you guys have some advice.

Aleks

Hello,

I also get these stutters exactly as you describe from TrackIR, but only when I minimize and restore the FSX window a few times. When I then restart FSX and TrackIR, it's gone. In some cases I have to restart the pc entirely. Do you get this also after minimizing and restoring the FSX window?

Have you updated to SP1?  That fixed it for me.

Yes, I'm on SP1. I've done all the tweaks in the main threads in this forum...
