    I'm not sure why you do not have any max/min settings, but you will need some for the plugin to work.
    Here are some settings to get you started.

    Be sure to click the cloud button shown above, and add the same settings for the runway values. And once working, you can adjust as needed.
    Take care,

    DCS HEAVE AND PITCH ANOMOLY

    I have transposed my V2.4 settings straight over to V3 and have started doing test flights. I have noticed there is a 1g abrupt change in heave (the rig moves down from center) as soon as there is no Weight On Wheels registered. If I halt the fight while in the air the rig moves back up to center. I then removed the outputs from the export.lua with the following code;

    local slot_ias = LoGetIndicatedAirSpeed()
    local slot_rpm = 0
    local slot_onground = OnGround
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    -- TESTING OUTPUTS
    slot_roll = 0
    slot_pitch = 0
    slot_yaw = 0
    slot_heave = 0
    slot_sway = 0
    slot_surge = 0
    slot_roll_rate = 0
    slot_pitch_rate = 0
    slot_yaw_rate = 0
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    my_send = socket.protect(function()
    if c then--

    And it still does the drop?

    Also it was a very weird first flight as it appears the pitch force is in the opposite direction to the flight direction but positive pitch up in the manual rig tests?

    I thought I was taking crazy pills, I never came across an options menu or export wizard. But apparently I have a funky version of SimTools that doesn't have an Options menu.

    Are there any type of keyboard commands that I can use for SimTools? I use this primarily for Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5. The issue is, if I want to change profiles or start or stop the motion, I have to go back to my computer. Since I just got an Elgato Stream Deck, I want to utilize the buttons and configure the ability to start profiles and select different sets (Set #1, Set #2 & etc.) and stop motion. Is no one doing anything like this?
