Left 2 messages but got no replies but I will share the secret to fsx and v 2.2.
just install v 2.2 nothing fancy and you can start a new profile and adjust the sen. of the pitch and yaw axis to look around cockpit but do not touch the z axis if you do and even if you don't change anything you will never be able to stay in the cockpit and look around. It works great now so just don't adjust anything but the pitch and yaw.

Well I am very new to the FreeTrack environment, so I have never used a version earlier than 2.2. I built my tracking unit (for headphones) and am using an Eye Toy camera. I followed all instructions and the thing actually works (was there a doubt?). My problem is that in FSX, my view from the VC is way out of wack (as in "out of the cockpit") and way too sensitive. I have read every forum post that I can find regarding FSX - including jj's post about leaving the Z axis alone. Although I'm not sure just what parameter on what screen he is referring to. Also read the post regarding "profiles" and that was a bit ambiguous too (for a newcomer).
So I am stuck with a working FreeTrack setup that doesn't work with FSX (I don't even have FS9 installed anymore). Is it useful to consider deleting the 2.2 version of FastTrack and re-installing 2.1 or did that version not support FSX?
Any help would be appreciated... else I guess I'll just have to re-install the IR filter and use the EyeToy as a video cam (not the goal state).
Cheers!
Gmark

Used 2.1 with FSX no problem, As rer\ported by many, 2.2 has me jumping all over the place and just a partial plane. Setting at LAX. I did notice that when I press the CENTER button, it shows me in the cockpit but as soon as I release it I'm all over the place. Hope this may provide a clue. Looking forward to the fix. DavidT

I already tested the fix, it works !!! 
About FS2004, if you just install FreeTrack, install TrackIR (see the link in the help file) and copy Tirviews.dll into the FreeTrack directory, then you select only the TrackIR output : FS2004 should be 6DOF for everyone... :D

Didja,
Thank you, but I wrote in the forum, that this is not working for me, as for others not too. If I copy Tirview.dll, freetrack do nothing in fs2004. I configured freetrack properly, but not working. See this:

fs2004 6dof works fine for me, the trackir website has this to say about it:
1. Enable Virtual Cockpit (Required!)
Whenever you Start a flight, you must right click on the view and select "virtual cockpit."
2. Best Performance possible.
We strongly recommend that you set your target frame rate to a minimum of 30 frames per second.
3. MS FS2004 vs. FS2002
If you have software version 4.0 (or later), FS2004 no longer requires a DLL in the modules directory. Only FS2002 requires the DLL.
4. How to fix the conflict between TrackIR and Active camera 2004
First of all TrackIR generates its own head latency, which is natural. If Active Camera 2004 is installed its head latency is counteracting with TrackIR’s natural head movement (one program is fighting the other).
If you use TrackIR along with Active Camera 2004 then simply disable the Active Camera 2004 head latency option - which then makes an interesting use of the view presets, which is a nice complement to TrackIR.
In Spot plane view Active Camera 2004 and TrackIR are working perfectly together. The same can be said for external pilot view (easy to pan with TrackIR and walk with the number pad keys).
5. Non-English language versions of MSFS2004.
Make sure you have the standard language.dll installed with FS2004. Some custom versions of the DLL remove strings required by TrackIR.
Ensure that the notification messages in FS2004 are turned on. The notifications appear in the upper right corner in red when switching to the virtual cockpit. The setting is found in your fs9.cfg file located by default in:
c:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9
[Main]
HideInfoText=0
- We have tested support for FS2004 running the [b]English, German, French, Italian and Spanish[/b] localized versions. If you are running the Japanese version and have problems, please contact us.

THX Quarrion !
I will uninstall DBS Walk and Follow (similar to Active Camera 2004), than reinstall the ''language.dll'' from FS2004 disk (I have custom versions too), I will write to the fs9.config the the ''[Main]
HideInfoText=0''text, and I hope this will help for me. Thank you Quarrion !!!

I tried to d/l the trackir file from the link. I keep getting a blank web page, won't let me download any of the trackir versions. I could download the manuals but not the updated versions of trackir. Anyone else have this problem?
P.S. I tried again and I got the download this time!
