jcf1966 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 hello i have copied a mail that has just come to me of soem one who has worked on thisHi James,well, the TrackIR4 and TrackIR5 should work as long as the mac has USB port...Not sure if there isn't any issue compiling it on SnowLeopard(I still run Leopard) - but if there is, I can provide you with binary I compiled that should work on SL too.In the works there is a new version, with GUI for setup, sensitivity curves and so on... I also plan to provide compiled version for Mac...It depends on you - I can help you to make the thing working, or you can wait for some time (~1 or 2 months if things go well) for the new version.Kind regards,i also in add were you can see trackIR on a mac so it can be done now, but i was just wondering if it will out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've heard of it working on a mac. Is there a plugin or some kind of software for it that doesn't cost anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Are there any stores that sell this item. I might try it on my Mac, but I want to be able to return it easily if it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 you have to find your x-plane.app and click "open" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wierd. I tried to open the linuxtrack installer and it keeps quitting, even after shutting down the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 there isn't any installer at all. just mount the DMG and drag the program called "ltr_gui" anywhere you want onto your hard disk. then open it and go to last tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Whenever I tried to open the window to get to that, it quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linglingqi Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 All,Uhm, obviously, this is beyond me...I have:- A 2010 iMac with OSX 10.7.1- TrackIR 5 plugged into one of the iMac's USB ports- X-Plane 9.70 and running- linuxtrack running from the Applications folderOn linuxtrack's Device tab, there's only Wiimote to chose from the Tracking Device dropdown. The log file is as pasted below.Looks like the TrackIR is not even recognized by the Mac? One or several components / drivers / applications missing?How gorgeous it would be if this worked!
