MSFS + Air Manager + SPACEDESK + Tobii : eye tracking stops working

#1 Post by DeltaCharlie »

Hi,
In the following stetup :
- Microsoft Flight Simulator
- Tobii Eye Tracking
- Air manager displaying instruments on an external tablet with Space Desk

When you touch the external tactile tablet, Tobii Eye tracking stops working.

This has been reported on MSFS support forum by several users including me (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/to ... /529386/23)

Any idea here please ?

I would think that it has something to do with focusing of windows and such. Especially because someone reports this:
When the MSFS window is minimized, Tobii Eye Tracker 5 stops responding in the sim. The Tobii application is still running and the eye tracker is working but not in the sim.
Or maybe with Spacedesk...? You can try for example to bring focus to a different program than Air Manager and see what happens, or try without Spacedesk and see what happens.
