Bernie! (you are now officially dubbed *Bernie*) (I nicknamed Wind Player *Windy*)

Glad you got them installed.

I believe you have to activate Alacrity each time just before you play FSX. If you never shut your pc down you should activate before FSX and de-activate it after playing FSX so that your anti virus and other stuff is back in play. I don't use Track IR so I don't know if it has to be started each time.?? I would guess there are some set-up instructions in the manual. You know --- if all else fails, read the directions!   Same goes for everything you install ---- read the manual and ask questions on the developer's forum.

I would highly recommend you sign up with AVSIM and read their forums regularly. Their FSX forum and Hardware Forums are must reads for any simmer.
