    Tip: Double-clicking the PLAY button is not very intuitive. A simple click makes more sense, or an enable and disable button.

    This may be true, but it's really annoying to accidentally click play on a game that takes forever to load up, just so you can exit back out of the game.
    And double-clicking to launch something is pretty common.

    it worked but it seems that it wasn't just that. It worked but not every time.

    The communication protocol was set to Project Car 2 in my AMS2. After I switched to Project Car 1, as it says on the plugin page, it seems to have solved the problem.

    It's funny because in Simtools v2 I used Project Car 2.

    AMS2 can be used with both API's 1 and 2.
    The plugin will work with both.

    or it may have been resolved when I dragged the AMS2 shortcut from the desktop to the plugin.

    but it's weird because Simtools automatically detected when I started the game. So it didn't seem to be missing the link with the game.

    This shortcut is only used when starting the game from SimTools v3.
    When using auto game detection, this link is not used.
    Take care,

    Hi Yobuddy,

    I was messing, again!, with the settings today and altered the parking then it crashed. Every time I altered or even removed it and pressed 'save and park' it crashed. Starting a game with parking removed and it crashed. the platform didn't need to be powered for it to crash and I tried various axes.

    However, I rebooted and it was fine so I don't know what was happening there. It also never crashed until I altered it. I thought I'd let you know.

    Is it possible to change the image or add some wording to the console plugin versions as they are exactly the same as the PC versions? Thanks.

    Hovering the banner will give you different play buttons, but you are correct.
    We plan to update the console ones or add a overlay or something.
    Forza Horizon 5 Console version has its own banner, as i had 2 on hand. :thumbs

    Ok i will solve the problem about f1 22 gears here. So it is very important that "UDP Broadcasting" should be OFF. Otherwise data become laggy. And some times you can feel gear change, sometimes not. I put picture just for clear view for other who has the same f1 22 gear problem.

    You don't need to mess with any settings, as the plugin sets everything up for you buddy.
    Also, you will get a better ride with the Send Rate set back to '60'.

    I will take a look. My guess is the JRK needs to be plugged into the PC and turned on, or not plugged into the PC at all.

    @yobuddy

    The value cannot be adjusted in the detailed menu such as the filter, outputtype... and is fixed to the medium value. It used to work, but I can't control it after the update.

    No sure where your talking about buddy.
    All updates in the last couple of weeks has just been for game plugins, so not sure where to look is all.
