    Hi Guy's.
    I have the family out for thanksgiving, and will be back at it this weekend.

    Would be sweet, and I go back and forth on how this should work.
    I'm afraid I don't have enough time with VR gear to know what will work best yet.
    But it would be cool, if you could send out a general video stream, and any number of vr headsets could tap into the feed.

    I have been playing with android apps a bit lately, so as i learn more, who knows.
    Would be cool if it worked with the cheaper android headsets I think.
    If we can stream 360 video to VR headsets with vlc, then I believe we could do it fairly easily.

    I did not write all the plugins myself, so with some of them I need to start over, or reach out to the original authors of the plugin. I have not heard back from some people yet, so hard to know for sure.

    I would like to play with some sort of remote profiler next.
    I would like to try to make it work with android and iso this time.
    (As we all have phones or tablets sitting around.)

    Anyway,
    Take care everyone and chat soon!

    I really hope that SimTools 3.0 will allow instantly disable an axis like SimRacingStudio instead of having to shut down a game. remove the assignment, reboot, etc... Such feature is so useful when trying to adjust/configure settings.

    Why can't Simtools v3 window be resizeable? I have a 5120x1440 resolution. The entire UI should be responsive and works at all resolution is possible. Thanks. Can't wait to be allowed to create skins and replace icons, colors, etc...

    We could have axis enable-disable buttons in the plugin, totally an option.
    Right now you just click the stop button, adjust and click play again. (all while the game is running and without a reboot), even v2 does this.

    To keep things easy for plugin writers, we decided to stick with winforms, and winforms does not do re-sizing very well. Honestly, It's enough work just getting all the different DPI settings working.
    We can see what I can do, but I need the gui completely done first before I can take a look.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    I didn't even know or notice the on/off button! LOL. I will try that next and see if I can turn off an axis to fine tune motion without having to quit the game... Great tip.

    @yobuddy Tried updating the XML today for Elite Dangerous but it seems to not work, the Simtools doesn't see the update.

    EDIT: NVM it seems it took a few minutes before it see it.

    It takes about 15 minutes for the files to migrate thru the system.
    Then after a SimTools restart, they should come down as updates.
    Thanks for the update!!

    I know Simtools auto detects the game, but can v3 auto detect the car I'm using and change it's settings accordingly like SimRacingStudio does?

    If the games telemetry data supports the current vehicle, yes.

    Traction Loss is Extra1 in v2 and v3 for iRacing.

    Have you tuned in the max/min settings for the game?
    Take care,

    Hi. I found a time to complete the belt tensiiner and I continue to have a problem with sim tools 3 turning off ,when I have 2 interfaces. It shuts down despite whether one is unplugged or both are plugged in. It shuts down in every game. But when I give the interface test it works. When I give a test in a game plugin it shuts down. In sim tools 2 work normally side by side. I do not enable Smc3Utils. Any ideas what to check? I was also disappointed that only in rbr again os surge works weird. In Dirt rally or assetto all is smooth and once set it works great and in rbr it works as if the signal is truncated. I only have the smooth filter at 15 percent. When I fight capture max min it works great. When I save the parameters it works as if the parameter is too high, making the motion too weak. When I lower the parameter manually it is still not the same when I turn on capture
