Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Plugin 1.1.3.0

Hello,
I installed the game msfs 2020 addon on simtools v3 a while ago, the first time I installed the plugin on simtools it worked fine, but I had a problem with simtools v3 and I had to completly removed and install simtools v3 again. After this I can not make simtools works with msfs, I have been trying many different solutions I have read here.
I removed and installed msfs again. I have disabled the antivirus and the firewall. I have been trying with differents simconnect.dll and simconnect_upd files. I tried with files on SDK installation (If you are having problems with motion data, try replacing the file SimConnect.dll in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. A different version of this file may work better on your system. Look for one in the game installation directory, or install the SDK and look in MSFS SDK\SimConnect SDK\lib.). I have also set my computer language to English Local. I tried even in another computer.

The folder C:\Users\marmo\Documents\My Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator is empty.

The folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator has this:



The folder C:\Users\marmo\AppData\Local\SimTools3\GamePlugins has:



With the SimConnect_UDP_debug file I get this:



With another simconnect_upd attached here I get this:



The 358.cfg file at C:\Users\marmo\AppData\Local\SimTools3\GamePathSaves: "Not Used"

But I cannot get telemetry from msfs:



Cheers.

EDIT: I can make it works with simtools v2, I install the plugin and once patched (is not required but I can only make it works on simtools v2 if the game is patched) virtual output starts to received telemetry data from msfs.

hey everyone, i noticed also strange movements while in menues and NOT in flight, wiggling and twitching .... very annoying ... why this happens ? only way to solve this is to shut down the motors while iam in the start menu .... same for Project Cars 2 but theres every time the same twich every few seconds :/

• Why can't I download it
  

I am new to motion simulation and to this extremely helpful forum and thread.
I am trying to get my MSFS2020 hosted under Steam on my Windows PC working with my YAW2 3DOF motion simulator. For this I have purchased and installed SimTools 2 and now I am setting up the plugins MFS2020_Plugin and Yawvr_InterfacePlugin_v04. I was able to install both and saw my YAW2 moving when using the Output Testing in the Game Engine.
I also was able to patch my MSFS 2020 and when starting it from within Steam the selecting it in the Game Manager (both - Manager and Engine - running as Administrator), then the Game Manager's status turns to blue es expected.


However, whatever movement my plane in the active game is doing or turning to, my motion platform stands still. Again using the Output Testing function verifies that it is connected and that it works.

Is there anything in addition that I need to do in order to finally make it work?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Does anyone else have trouble with MSFS crashing while running simtools? I dont seem to get crashes while not running it.

Nope, everything is fine.

Must be time to reinstall msfs then

I also seem to have really muted touchdown mostion in msfs. Everything else seems to be ok, but I can barely feel the wheels touch down even when I land pretty hard. Is this a known issue with msfs?

Are people getting good results with MSFS and SimTools V3? I havnt tried to use it yet because the enhanced DCS plug in is not available for it yet.

Thanks for your response and taking care.

Yes I have exactly followed the instructions i.e. GameManager run as Admin when patching and tested with various simconnect DLLs (also the one from the SDK). I did this multiple times but alwas got the same result.
When running the game, I see in the console of the Connect_UDP.exe I the following messages which remains as such even when running MSFS 2020 and creating some plane movement. There is no difference whether using the original simconnect.dll that came with the plugin or the one copied over from the SDK).

*** UDP application for SimConnect to SimTools communication ***
12:03:14: Packet rate is 100 Hz
12:03:14: Target IP address is 127.0.0.1
12:03:15: Open exception: Die arithmetische Operation hat einen Überlauf verursacht.
12:04:10: Sending packets successfully

There is no further message following this while the game is ongoing.
The third log line notifies about an integer overflow exception.

Does this point to something I may have done wrong or that needs some configuration changes?

Game and GameEngine are running on same PC.




If there is anything else you want me to check, then please let me know.

Thanks in advance for help

Please see the screenshot below:


It appears, that the counters in the green section of the Tuning Center constantly and quickly change values. So there seems to be something alive.
Which other settings do you want me to provide?

Another observation that I made recently when running Wireshark against the IP address of my motion simulator; When in game there was a constant stream of UDP messages arriving at the motion simulator but allways carrying the same pitch, roll and yaw values. Doing the same with the Output Testing showed, that there were also UDP message sent to the motion simulator, but carrying different values that changed with moving the sliders in the test and of course as the motion simulator moved accordinlgy.
Maybe this sheds some additional light on the issue...

The axix assignments were indeed not set. Settings the axis assignment did the trick!!!
Now that I have made these assignments I see movements on my motion simulator in game.
I am currently trying to find the optimal settings for the MSFS2020.
Maybe someone also uses a YAW2 Pro 3DOF with Simtools and MSFS2020 and can provide a preset for this.

I obviously misunderstood the concept of the Axis Assignments settings and thought that this is already done by and part of the Yawvr_InterfacePlugin_v04 also installed and used.

Many thanks for all the help and I owe both of you a large beer!
