    Yes, v3 is faster than v2. But the game being run needs to deliver data faster than 10ms, and the interface needs to send faster than 10 ms to really take advantage of it.

    Since the last update to IRacing, the game itself has a memory mapped file bug. The problem happens whenever you use more than one app to collect data from the game. But if you only use SimTools and IRacing alone, then you won't see any problem. We believe it has something to do with their new anti-cheat implementation, but it's hard to say for sure. Currently we are waiting on a email from the IRacing team to see if they can find the problem.

    I have that issue too where I can't start any game from within Simtools. Does it need to be run with Administrator privileges?

    Two days ago an update of il2 sturmovik flight simulator probably broke my connection to simtools v3 . What to do to make them work again?
    Probably my configuration file has been replaced?
    Thank you!

    Know that the play buttons require a double click to launch the game in v3.

    You can try uninstalling the game plugin and then restart SimTools and reinstall the game plugin. You want to make sure to fly around in the game before you patch it.

    OK I did that but the game inside simtools tries to start only in steam library and it says i don't have the license because I don't have the game from steam but directly from the developer. So how can I start the game from simtools directly from the developer not steam?
    Thank you !

    To update a launch path for a game plugin, simply drag and drop the games exe or shortcut on the banner for the given game plugin.

    @Andrew M, @Grand Strate, @Michael Pleym

    We were able to reproduce the region issue and create a fix that was pushed out. After updating the plugin, DCS should work with SimTools in your Windows local region settings.

    @Gerardo Rivera, @admarper

    We created separate Prepar3D plugins for the different versions of the game. This keeps the profiles separate per game and makes it so you can launch each version of the game from SimTools if you have more than one version installed. Please uninstall the older PrePar3D plugin and restart SimTools. Then install the version you are using, and you should get movement.

    OK the shortcut feature works just fine but when il2 sturmovik starts through simtools I don't hear that characteristic "bip" sound...could that cause any problem or is it better to hear that? Simtools seems to work fine thought..

    w00t!

    The only "bip" sound I know of in v3 is the "BEEP beep" when launching game, it means that one of your interfaces was unable to startup. Should you hear this sound when launching a game with SimTools, you should check the error log to see which interface is unable to startup.
    Hope that helps buddy!

    Hello,

    first of all many thanks to Yobuddy and all the guys where have had supported him the years!
    Now I have SimTools V3 too and I have only two Games installed Right now (F1 2024 and Le Mans Ultimate). Here I have the identical settings, but the Traction Loss at F1 2024 has an issue and doesn‘t work wrong. When I get into a Race or off the Track, my Hyperaxis-Motor goes into one Direction (left side) but afterwards there is no further motion. Means that my seat isnt‘t central in the middle. In LMU it works perfectly.
    So has anybody an idea what can be wrong?

    Thanks very much!

    Hello yobuddy,
    How can I set different min/max tuning values in il2 sturmovik game from those I set in the beginning for heave, surge, swa?, I set different values i add a new profile I push "save" but it always returns to initial values.
    Thanks

    Could you post pics of your axis and max/min settings for the game?
    Are you using washout? or maybe your using the advanced axis plugin and the axis is not set to normal output?
    I can help more with some pics.
    Chat soon!

    Please try copying a profile, then edit the profile to your liking, and then click save.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Take care!
