    After having reverse engineered the Yaw Game Engine and doing a lot of logging in the Yaw VR Interface plugin I finally have found the culprit. The interface failed on parsing the Yaw data as it was expecting a U value in the data which was not present. I'm not sure if this was changed over time or if this feature has ever even worked but now I can finally see the XYZ gizmo and it follows the Yaw VR chair movement.

    @noorbeast I am tagging you in this as I cannot seem to tag Marc fdx

    To fix the interface, I changed this line in the TransferYawData_Thread of YawVR.vb

    Batt = 1 'GetValueFromString(strMessage, "U[")

    instead of trying to parse a value that is never found, I set Batt to be 1 for now

    @Marc Fdx has not been around since January, life gets busy like that sometimes.

    I will flag it for @yobuddy, as the SimTools dev.

    Small follow up. According to a Yaw VR developer on discord, the U value is only sent by the Yaw 1. Which is why it broke when using it on the Yaw 2. But as far as I can tell, the battery level is never used in the plugin so I guess parsing it can be removed altogether.
