Saitek Combat Pedals and Track IR

Submitted by roiegat on #1

So I recently signed up for Shadow service which lets me access a gaming rig from my PC or Mac. On my PC I run a flight simulator and have the following USBs is user:
1) Warthog Joystick
2) Warthog Throttle
3) Saitek Combat Pedals
4) Track IR 5.0
5) Gametrex 908 (vibration for chair with flight sim)
6) GPWiz-420 USB controller for costume panel.

So I purchased the license and wanted to fly. The joystick, throttle, and GPWiz 420 work fine. The Saitek Combat Pedals gives me and error when it tries to connect (tried on several ports, will try again tomorrow when a new USB 3.0 hub arriveS). I don't see the Track IR or the Gametrex on the list.

I'm running windows 10 64 bit. Any advice on where to start for troubleshooting? If I can't get it all to work, I might cancel my shadow subscription.

OK so you are running the virtualhere server on your Local windows 64 pc? And the client on the remote shadow win64 ?

If so, on your local pc can you open the virtualhere server dialog and select Settings...->View Server Log and see if it shows an error in there?

Looks like it got the following (although no other app should be using the rudders since nothing else is open):

2019-02-23 21:32:42 ERROR :Cannot capture device because it is currently in use at the server. Please exit the program that is using the device, then try again. (USB\VID_06A3&PID_0764\7&141487EA&0&4)

That worked! looks like the Track IR and Gametrix USB Devices just weren't named correctly. Will do a full test later today and report back. Thanks.

So having issues again when it comes to the inputs. If I use the server app mentioned above, it doesn't seem to work with the client. If I use the server app on the website downloads, it sometimes loads one, but sometimes loads all of them expect the rudders. This is all on a windows 10 machine both for server and for client. Anything I can test out?

I havent changed anything. I would suggest getting a linux board like a pi3. They are much better being a usb server than windows is.
