I am getting my private pilots license so I thought it would be a good idea to reinstall FSX and see how much of a help it could be for me... So far I think it will really be a good thing if I can get my head tracking to work. here is what I did.
I unselected Free track interface and track IR interface and selected SimConnect -for FSX from the profile tab in Free Track. Then I made sure that I was in virtual copit mode while flying... This worked great! but then I installed Service pack 2 and some other simobjects. I go to load the game and the head tracker is not tracking. so I eventually got around to uninstalling FSX and then removing the FSX file from program files and the download file in my documents (I was hoping to get rid of any trace of FSX on my computer) Then I proceeded to install a fresh copy of FSX. Still no luck. Does anyone have a clue why this is not working for me? did I miss a very simple step is there some something wrong with my copy of free track? Any help would be great. Thank you

I have been able to get free track to work on fsx now but it is really finicky. Some times when I load fsx it does not work but then if I close everything including free track and then open free track and fsx and then finally reset fsx setting to default I can get it to work again. I don’t understand why it is so finicky, has anyone else notice this when they use FSX with free track?
I am using a Wii remote set up with free track 2.2
Thanks.

i had the same problem....
i installed FSX deluxe + sp1 and got no tracking.
The problem is the Simconnect is still "vanilla".
If you up FSX with service pack you have to up the SDK version to.
that way it worked...
so i guess a logical next step would be
3 --->install FSX sp2 + sdk2
EDIT : when i installed the FSX sp2 + sdk2 i did not get tracking right away like with the FSX sp1 + sdk sp1. Here is what to do...
Go to your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK
or wherever you sdk dir is and do a search for "simconnect*.*" on that dir.
The search should produce 3 simconnect versions...
1) ...\FSX-RTM\SimConnect.msi <--- the vanilla one
2) ...\FSX-SP1\SimConnect.msi <--- the sp1 version
3) ...\lib\SimConnect.msi <----the sp2 version
execute/install the sp2 version manually got me back tracking
