You need to change gun #2 to a different ID before plugging them both in.

Make sure your sensor bar is in a good position and that your light gun can see
the bar no matter where you point on the screen. Also the Aim trak has software
to calibrate the guns even further which can help. I found holding the trigger
down for 30 seconds restarts the calibration so you can adjust on the fly for
games that are 4:3 vs games that are in 16:9. Hopefully this helps. Also make
sure your Joystick ID's are setup correctly using the aimtrak software that
ultimarc gives you on their site.

the gun just out of range...the ID is ok. by the way where should i calibrate the
gun? in Configuration? Sensor View Check? Displaying Calibration Errors? or the
SHOW DATA Tab? Although I tried all of them in all sorts of variations
With all the respect to the http://www.ultimarc.com/aimtrak.html site itself has
an explanation for all TAB. but why not be explained step by step from start to
finish?

A MAME cabinet at home is
heaven
Once your guns are set up (with IR sensor and all) and plugged in correctly
(IDs, etc) press the calibration button on your gun(s) for the required 10-30
seconds in order to enter calibration mode (while in Windows). You'll be
looking at a Windows desktop at this point. No other software is open. No
Aimtrak software is needed at this point for calibration.
You should see three blinking targets. They come up one at at time. Shoot
them with each gun.
A couple of KEY THINGS to keep in mind:
1) Be sure to be far enough away from the screen for the calibration to work.
It's much harder to be too far away than too close. I'd guess at least 4-6 feet
away from the screen for it to work.
2) Aim with your WRISTS, not your arms. Position the gun where you would
likely hold it when playing a game. Then aim carefully using your wrist, only
pointing the barrel of the gun at the different calibration targets. Try not to
move the handle part of the gun in space relative to your body at all.
See my review demo video here for a few possible points of help:

Are you talking about accuracy in a game, or do you say it's inaccurate in
Windows?
Every game has its own service menu that you'll have to calibrate the gun in.

The problem right now is not in MAME. This gun calibration problem.
Once I click the button 5 seconds, and after he finishes the calibration.

The gun moves on the screen like crazy ... and I took the calculation of the
distance from the screen.
By the way this picture (forgive the quality) direction with one gun in my MAME.
The first day I brought it.

You said that it worked fine when you only had one gun in windows. But when
there are two guns in windows it was all over the place. Are you sure when you
are moving it that the other gun isn't pointing at the bar. One possibility is that
the cursor is jumping between gun 1 and 2 which are both pointing at the screen.

To enter calibration mode, you should be holding the gun vertically (point at
ceiling).
The calibration goes upper left corner, upper right corner, and bottom of screen
center.
It did not look like you pointed the gun at the bottom of the screen for the last
one.
That could by why Y axis is messed up.

The good news is that once you get them calibrated in Windows you won't have
to worry about it again. The calibration for you screen stays in firmware. Even if
you unplug your guns.
Then...you can move onto MAME.

When I first got my guns, one would jump around even when held still. Not quite
as dramatically as what you are showing in the video but it was noticeable. I got
a replacement from ArcadeGuns.com and they agreed that it was defective and
the replacement was perfect. You could have a similar issue.
Random thought: is it possible that the IR lights are reflecting off of something
else like the control panel? If it's only one gun, then I doubt it's the case but
might be worth looking into.

Sometimes I build cabs
from the neighbors trash.
Is it just the games that original had mounted guns? (terminator 2, revolution x,
etc)
The guns on those games were more like analog joysticks than light guns, so
they work differently. (they should still work with aim-trak though)
See page 22 of the Aim-trak manual.

With positional gun games you'll need to enter the gun settings in MAME as the
STICK X/Y axis controls. Not as the normal Lightgun settings. Also, some of those
games require in-game calibration (ie: Terminator 2, Revolution X). All of this
should be in the AimTrak manual. Look in the end section where it talks about
individual game requirements.

"Positional Games
Since MAME does not consider these lightgun games, you will need to repeat the
above
MAME setup procedure for assigning GUN # X and Y for these specific games.
Note
that you will be selecting Input (this game) and then selecting the AD Stick X (and
Y)
Analog inputs, instead of the Lightgun X (and Y) Analog shown above. "
