    Thanks for that.
    With dirt rally 2, since there is no udp relay available on the plugin page as there was with f122, is there any way of utilising the same method?

    Update Posted :thumbs
    Fixed - HotKey (Used to Stop SimTools from a running game)
    Changed - Virtual window not closed after a game now.
    (Code cleanup and other fun stuff..)

    Dirt Rally 2 game plugin updated too!
    - better rate outputs
    - fixed udp relay
    - flipped roll and surge output for uniform output from game plugins.

    Roll output is the degrees you sitting at.
    It's a static output, the car is sitting at 30deg.

    Roll Rate, is how many degrees a second the input is changing.
    So the output is the amount of change from one input to the next.
    (normalized over 1 second)

    So if you come to a complete stop, the rate outputs will always be zero.
    You can think of it as changing the roll output into an acceleration rather than a static degree.

    I suggest you set axis 1a to roll and axis2a to roll rate and take a look at what happen in the virtual output sliders plugins when it runs.
    Take care!

    So the super small window bug will only be fixed in the final update? I play on a 4k screen and I have to get up out my seat to read the menu when using it.

    It's technically not a bug, it's just not finished yet.
    I do make corrections as I work on plugins, but I'm not worried about it until I get to finishing the skinning.
    Take care,

    When I get back to finishing the skinning.
    It's probably one of the non game plugins you are using, as the app itself is already setup right I believe.

    Little suggestion. Maybe a reconnect button. When u start simtools and wifi not connected U must turn off sim tools. Maybe a little button "reconnect" if possible thanks for your work

    It's designed to work with or without internet.
    Internet is only required for registration.
    So I'm not sure why you would need to "reconnect" is all, SimTools is not connected to anything when running?

    Do you mean in the repo manager?
    If so, then yes your offline.

    But you can download them from here:
    https://simtools.us/plugin_library/
    And then just drag drop them into the main window to install.
    Take care,

    yes, I just realize that we can't play the V3 on offline mode. because the license activation only work online.
    so V3 need a network connection.
