Having recently reinstalled FSX (forced through premature death of SSD!) I thought i would also take the opportunity to recover and install an old TrackIR device from my "bits and pieces box" (its an ancient version 2 I think?). I found the appropriate software and manual still on the NaturalPoint site which is good - but after all these years of not using the device (cant remember now why I gave up on it) I'm totally stuck because I have no idea where the reflective dots are - which is bad!

Does anyone a) know of any alternative material I can use; b) know where I can locally source the real mccoy or c) pop a spare one in the post rolleyes.gif winkyy.gif

Hi Dart

I think I've got the relectors laying around somewhere, I'll check tomorrow and PM you to get an address to send it too.

Try a nice shiny drawing pin stuck in the rim of your hat

Hmmm... I didn't have a drawing pin but I did try an old blazer button - didn't work sad.gif

Thanks for the suggestion though.
