i am run it again after updating to the latest edition to vizard, and now it does not give me any error messages at all. however, it is still not creating the visual fall when i hook it up to the HMD and tracker (is900), even though it works on keyboard mode. it is definitely detecting that it is in the right location because it prints "in pit" in the appropriate location. could it be that the viewpoint is bound to the physical location of the tracker and so it won't fall?
