I got it to track the LEDs without any filter modifications in a dark room by playing with the threshold slider. However, for some reason it doesn't register in the game.
In any case,i saw something even more worrisome when i tried to test it in QMB...it seems that my trusty MS sidewinder precision 2 is dead too.
I don't know what to think, i mean i've never heard of a power failure cooking hardware components that are fed by USB before. So, i took out both the stick and my trackIR camera and plugged them into my old PC (an AthlonXP running winXP), but to no avail.
It seems a highly twisted coincidence to me that out of all the peripherals on my PC the only ones to get affected are the the ones i use in flight simming. Truth be told, i don't trust my old Athlon's USB connectors that much, so the last bit of diagnostics will be to take the stick and trackIR camera to a friend's PC and try them out, just to rule out the possibility of faulty USB connectors/not enough power being fed.
Just out of curiosity, if it turns out that my peripherals are fine and it's the USB ports that are to blame, can i do something to fix that or do i have to get a new motherboard/power supply/whatever?
