Help please - TrackIR 2 in Windows 7 x64

[rpkiller]

Hi All

I'm getting back into simming after recently purchasing this game, and am enjoying it immensely. I dug out of the back of my cupboards my old TrackIR 2 device, which I remember being a fantastic aid to flying, especially online.

In the intervening years my machine has been periodically upgraded to become, eventually, an entirely new machine running Win 7 64-bit.

Given I already own the hardware (and am quite skint) I've been quite keen to make this work with the new operating system. Reading various threads I've found the TrackIR software version 4.1.029 beta 4 had a working driver for TrackIR2 on 64 bit systems, which could be coupled with the v3 software interface to have a functioning mash-up.

However newer versions, even the final v4 software, don't have this functionality. I haven't been able to find any copies of the 4.1.029 beta 4 software on the internet. I was wondering, given the popularity of the TrackIR system for fellow simmers, if anyone had encountered and ultimately solved this issue?

Thanks in advance!
