    Sorry guys had enough troubles of my own lately, had to reinstall windows and have not had time to get everything installed. Need to get VB installed and everything else pfffff nightmare.

    Has ED been updated to a new version since the big update ?

    Yep, two times already. Currently there are no fatal bugs, so this version may hold up a little.

    Hi @SilentChill

    Please help to update the plugin, we are currently out of motion :( and we're really missing the motion expirience in ED.

    Okay guys I have had chance to try and update the plugin but its bad news :( They have changed all the memory locations and how they are set out, all my notes I have made mean nothing.

    Looks like they have gone back to how it use to be @value1 ?? all the Matrix's need to be found and all the math that goes along with it. Even after finding them and getting the correct pointers and then eliminating all the other drop outs that I had pretty much solved is going to be far too time consuming. All the SRV locations have changed and again all my notes mean nothing :(

    Until they change it back again (if they ever do) I just wont have the time to sort it

    @value1 , @SilentChill

    How we can support you to get a new plugin?
    There're some players out there (including my self) who spend thousends of USDs for the seat extra for the ED game . For me would be the worst case if there's no change to get an updated plugin.

    I would support If i can, and I think other guys here as well.
    Let's talk about with all stakeholders to realize it again. Let's put all our effort together, some guys here can look for the right pointers some guys can spend money for pizza and beer.
    Let's do it again guys ! We need you !

    Hi Craig,
    speaking personally, pitch and roll is all my sim needs. I'm certain a patch for that would also be useful to others until Frontier Developments help us out with an api or at least the data for the motion (I wish) or try to use a common framework for future updates, like the old system, as you say.
    Thanks again Craig for taking the time. If you can at least do a plugin for roll and pitch we'll be a happy crowd.

    Nice info Craig -I'll start swotting up.

    Thanks for the roll/pitch patch. I Just installed it......pitch works well but nothing for roll. Tuning center shows pitch game data being received but zero game data for roll hence no movement for that dof. I don't know if anyone else has tried it yet but if you've any suggestions -

    Hi,
    I've swapped the plugin over to the latest and still only pitch is working. I get no motion in the roll. Has anyone else given it a try to confirm?
    The tuning center is only displaying game data for the pitch axis only (elite horizons - latest version 2.3.02). No game data for roll though (or yaw). I'm certain everything at my end is good but really need others to give this plugin a try just to confirm. My chair works well with the joystick plugin so I've no issues with my s/w and h/w
    I did have a quick blast in cqc and even the 1 DOF from this plugin was better than using the joystick plugin to move my chair (I also use oculus cv1). Just need to get roll working and I'll be well happy but I fear the issue still lies with the plugin.
    (Thanks for your hard work Craig, Hope it can be sorted - )

    You will be right it's the plugin. I didn't have enough time to narrow the pointers down
