Hi team,

I've just started with XWAU after about 20 years of not playing XWA.
I have TrackIR and it works for about 5 minutes before freezing and showing 2 amber lights at the IR sensor. Only way to make it work again is quitting both TrackIR and XWA.
Any idea what could be happening?

Thanks,

R

Topic with appropriate title. That's why I wrote here. In training missions, the rebels do not have a TrackIR in the hangar, the buttons on the keyboard do not tilt their heads, but switch their appearance. I can't read the instructions and pick the ship. When leaving the hangar, the TrackIR works.

After a few months I realised that my issue is caused by TrackIR default hotkey of F9 to PAUSE the tracking. When I was changing Shields Charge rate I would pause the Tracking...disabling the pause (and other hotkeys like F8/F7) in TrackIR everything is working as expected...
Surprised no-one complained about this before...maybe I'm the only one dumb enough here... :|
