    No, you would need to make a custom axis plugin for that.

    I can't think of any reason why we would need this, could you tell me what your trying to do?
    I'm sure i could add a filter, but i can't think of why we would need this is all.
    Take care buddy,

    Cheers will take a look at backing up the plugins now :thumbs

    The new WRC Gen plugin has a problem there is something not right with pitch and roll, heave sway and surge seem fine thou.
    From what i remember with the hack way https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/wrc-telemetry-patch.38991/ using wrc telemetry patch 1.3 pitch and roll never worked right either (but at the time it was better than no motion at all )
    Not sure if this can be fixed so we get pitch and roll in game but thought it was worth a mention

    My guess is you have an error with your interface settings?

    Unfortunately the output stricture is being used in other plugins and working perfectly.
    So I believe the problem is from the game itself.
    If they don't fix it, one option is to memory hook these two inputs.

    Could someone with a vr headset test out this v3 plugin for Epic Roller Coasters.
    It should work with this free version found on steam.
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/787790/Epic_Roller_Coasters/

    I didn't have an old max/min file to copy numbers from, so if it works, please show me the max/min values you end up using. (And I will update the plugin and post it to the repo.)
    Thanks! :thumbs

    Test plugin removed, final version now in the repo...

    Hello, simtools always closes after launching the games I uninstall simtools, the plugins reinstall the same result.
    I opened simtools first after simhub, everything works except simtools which closes, too bad, great product.

    Don't run simhub and it will work, as you have a port conflict.
    As only one app can connect to a port at a time.

    the ports are changed to 4123 for simtools and 20777 for simhub so it's impossible to play with both?

    I believe in simhub you need to exclude port 4123 from port scanning and then it will work.
    There is a thread around here on it I believe.

    Hi. I have tried SimTools and tested it. I have found out that Axis limiting is not profile specific.
    Is it possible to make it profile specific?

    Also one user asked about WRC Generations - i noted that the axes are inverted compared to like F1 games or even Rally 2.0. Also I had to use axis limiting to achieve the good result.

    @iLLuac4,
    The 2018 plugin is confirmed working.
    It did however not have any Max/Min settings, so they have been updated.
    Take care!

    These settings are sim protection and they should be global settings.
    You can configure the axis assignments easily to set the about of range wanted per profile, so its not something you need axis limiting for is all.
    Take care!

    Hi. Ok will try to tweak it but to achieve good results in WRC Generations this was the only option. Setting other settings like reducing roll, pitch,.. to single level digit did almost nothing. Only limiting the axis helped.
    Obviously something is wrong with WRC Generations telemetry data compared to other sims.

    Another question can min/max settings be reset to default?

    Roll and Pitch has already been reported as having problems in that game.
    You can delete the plugin and reinstall it.
    It's just the dirt 2 settings thou, since it's based on that game.
    In axis assignments, you can set how much of the axis you what to use.
    So if the settings is at20 percent, then it only uses 20 percent of the axis.
    So you can configure it to the needed amount there, without axis limiting is all.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    From the setting screen of windwosOS, select custom scaling and enter 105%. and sign out.

    Start simtoolsV3 after signing out
    The drag bar doesn't collapse. can be operated.

    The edit screen is defective, but can be operated.

    please fix it soon I'm looking forward to it.
