1. Im having problems reaching the top edge of the screen. It does shows on the preview page and ingame (see image attached). I tried the IR offset stuff but it doesnt seem to save my settings. It always goes back to 0.00 and when i edit the defautl calibration with a certain number, whenever i go back to it it is back to defaults.

Can you explain in more detail how it doesn't save? In the 4 offset fields, if you enter a custom number and "TAB" out, it'll still show "0"? Or, your custom number will stay there until you restart Lichtknarre? Try right-clicking on Lichtknarre and "run as administrator".
The top edge issue is usually an IR sensor thing. Are you using a mayflash by any chance? Those don't work well with LK.

yes, that is correct, i enter a custom number and it will go back to 0 after tabbing out. Gonna try run as admin.
yes, im using a mayflash bar

just a quick update: after entering into in game calibration option im now able to point ironsight, id say its 95% perfect. (This is for Dead Space Extraction).
Will try with more games and see, I just wish it wasn't necessary tho.

Hi
First of all, I want to express my sincere appreciation for creating Lichtknarre – it’s an amazing tool that makes using the unmodified Wii remote as a lightgun so much easier and precise!
As a Chinese user, I (and many other Chinese players/enthusiasts) would be incredibly grateful if you could consider releasing a Chinese language version of Lichtknarre in the future. If you need help with the Chinese translation (e.g., UI text, instructions), I’d be more than happy to contribute my time and effort to assist with the localization work.
Thank you again for your hard work on this awesome project, and I look forward to your reply!

Hey guys, i am new to all of this and made me a 4 LED Setup with my 58 Inch TV. It is to big, i have to stand behind the Couch and point to the TV. sitting on the couch, i am way to near. So i ordered a Fisheye-Lens and hope this will fix the problem with the distance.
BUT i have antother problem. When I calibrate the gun with 4 LEDs, the Wiimote has to be rotated a little bit to make all 4 Points inside the zones.
I made pictures and put my phone on the wiimote so you can see how angled i have to turn the wiimote to make it horizontal.

The slight rotation is fine. As long as the software signals that it's correctly positioned, proceed with the calibration process.
Keep in mind though, fish eye lens is not programmed yet for definitive line-of-sight tracking. If you plan on using a crosshair (ie Teknoparrot games) on-screen, it'll be fine. Otherwise, don't depend on it.
Use a "Wide" angle lens instead. They usually come in the same pack as the fish eye lens. Hopefully a wide lens will let you game on the couch while maintaining good tracking.
