    TrackIR problem on FS Golden Wings 3

    Hi

    After I change my OP to windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    The TrackIR 5 will not working on FS Golden Wings 3. On FS9 & FS Silver Wings, the TrackIR working Ok.

    And where can I find the fs9.exe file ?. In the XP it was in my document.

    Best Regard

    Unless I am mistaken, the Golden Wings package uses a modified file (language.dll or something like that) that prevents Track IR from working with it. Something like that...at least that is what that tiny working part of my brain is telling me...but that part of my brain is known to be a pathological idiot, so any info it gives should be taken with a few thousand grains of salt.

    Obio is correct, it's the language.dll. FS9 refers to itself as FLight Simulator 9 and TIR recognizes this, and works with it. GW3 refers to itself as Golden Wings (check the dialogue boxes at open/close/launch/etc) and TIR doesn't recognise this and will not work. SW has the same issues IIRC, maybe not, as yours works.

    Simple fix is to copy the default language file into GW3 but it will not show the correct name in the dialogues, etc.

    Sometime ago someone gave me tweaked files that allow GW3/SW to show the correct names but still work with TIR. My humble apologies as I forget now who, was many moons ago

    here they are anywho... Attachment 66293 Attachment 66292
