    Hi

    Just looked at my notes from a while back - Drag and drop DCS_Exp into Plugin Updater.

    In Games Manager check users\ me\ etc\ Saved Games\DCS\Scripts

    If Scripts folder is not there create it manually. In Scripts create an empty folder called Hooks before patching.

    I hope that helps. It is a while ago since I did this. The plugin works great. In Hooks "Data to be exported" I changed Yaw (which I don't use) to IAS as I wanted to use airspeed. I also use Roll Rate rather than Roll position as it gets over the rolling-over-the-top problems. I also increased Heave (accel_vertical) on the ground a bit as I only really ever fly WW2 stuff off grass airstrips and I like to feel the bumps.

    Good luck

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings, including the Tuning Center while DCS is running.

    There are no Max/Min values assigned in the Tuning Center, but can I check was there an aircraft in flight when the picture was taken, or was DCS paused:

    It makes no difference if the plane is flying or paused the tuning center does not change . I have tried pushing Capture Max min but nothing changes. Thanks

    Try unpatching DCS then re-patch as admin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/when-how-to-run-simtools-in-admin-mode.201/

    You can also try using SimTools 3 instead, it can be installed on the same machine and use the same license key.

    If that does not work we can defer to @yobuddy.

    SimTools v3 is in the final stages of open Beta testing: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-v3-public-beta.17329/

    To get your license number there are some options, you can send an email to the SimTools devs, it may take a bit for them to get back to you so please be patient: https://simtools.us/contact-us/

    Or to do it faster yourself, first login to SimTools website: https://simtools.us/member-login/

    Under Your Account find History and in Purchase History you can view your license key.

    I have installed V3 and all the games are fine but DCS has no input data and no movement. Testing works fine in Axis assignments. Also in V2 I had yaw assigned to extra1 .This is not available in axis assignments in V3 but does show in max min tuning. What should I use. Thanks Denis

    Hey Denis :)
    Did you resolve the issues? I cannot help with the SimTools side of things, as I am not using it, but I can probably help with the DCS side of things if still needed.
    PM me if you need more support. I see you're in NZ. We might be able to do a screenshare-session on TeamViewer or similar software if your troubles persist.
    Cheers.... Dirty :)

    Hi Dirty
    No I just can't make any headway. DCS is the only game that will not transfer data. The path is correct and V3 will turn the game on but just no data is transfered.Any help would be great if we can set things up ,the only software that I could use is discord but would be ok to load up whatever is needed.
    Thanks Denis
