Iris Dynamics +FS9 + Win7 Lockup

[psolk]

Hi there,
Brand new to FSForce and trying to try it out before I purchase and activate.
Using FS9.1 Win 7x64 Iris Dynamics FFB Yoke

With ForceTest.exe I get:
Enumerated Joystick : Iris Dynamics Yoke

Creating effects for Iris Dynamics Yoke
Supported Effects :
- GUID_ConstantForce
- GUID_RampForce
- GUID_Square
- GUID_Sine
- GUID_Triangle
- GUID_SawtoothUp
- GUID_SawtoothDown
- GUID_Spring
- GUID_Damper
- GUID_Inertia
- GUID_Friction

However when I run the profiler it locks up and I get:
MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

And when I run FS9 it also locks up and I get:Cessna C172SP Skyhawk

AirEffect.ProgramForces 1 : DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED

AirEffect.ProgramForces 1 : DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED & VFW_E_FILTER_ACTIVE & DMO_E_TYPE_NOT_ACCEPTED

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL



FFB and trim are disabled per the manual.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

I'm expecting delivery of an Iris Dynamics yoke in the next week or two, so hopefully that will allow me to do some testing. Obviously the folks at Iris were the ones to develop the software drivers for their product. I know they did a fair bit of testing to make sure their drivers worked with the FSX / FS Force 2 combination. I don't know if they did any testing with FS9.

I do know that the FS9 / FS Force 1 combination was never as stable as the FSX / FS Force 2 / SimConnect combination, and due to the legacy nature of FS9, I'm not planning on doing any significant revisions in that area. If you can get it to work ... great! If not ... try FSX.
