New player needing help - a few critical issues. (screen mode - trackir & gears shift)

Recommended Posts

Hi all, purchased DiRT Rally yesterday and I have a few annoying issues that are stopping enjoying the game, I hope you can help.

TrackIR won't accept key commands when in game. (centre/pause/precision).  Commands simply don't 'pass through' to TrackIR like they do in every other game i've ever used.  Setting the profile to 'exclusive' makes no difference.  If i alt-tab out the key commands work.. but this leads to my 2nd issue.

When I
 alt-tab out, the game resets the screen mode to windowed mode at a very low resolution, from full screen @ 1920x1200 that i have it set to.  Combine this with my TrackIR issues, every time I want to play or simply take off my headphones I have to re-setup my graphic settings screen mode, it a real PITA!  Even without the TrackIR issue i need to alt-tab out often, I play within a gaming community so interacting my teamspeak or similar is common for me.

My 3rd issue is more of a newbie setup question:  I have a G25 set, pedals & shifter, I have the shifter set to sequential mode (forward/backwards)  but am finding I cant double/triple shift.. you can only change gear once every 2 seconds or something like that, so if you need to drop from 4th to 2nd for example it takes ages, it just doesn't feel right.  Is this normal?  Should I set my shifter different?

Thanks for any help,  cheers.

(few details: Win10 x64, TrackIr software 5, hardware 4 - everything uptodate, latest versions)

I created a profile for Dirt Rally in the TrackIR Software and assigned a wheel button to "center". Using controller buttons works ingame. But actually i doesn't use TrackIR in DR anymore.

Cheers, I've managed to assign a wheel key to trackir and that works.  No idea why no keyboard commands would, very odd.  Cheers.

I'll look for help else where for my other teething problems.
