    I decided to confirm the current status of F1 24. All I did when I installed it was to note that running from SteamVR didn't work and it worked as soon as I started it from SimTools. No drag and drop or any other adjustments.

    1) The executable is F1_24.exe. The process name is F1 24 and there are no child processes in Task Manager. Yes, that is a space in the process name.
    2) When I run from SteamVR there is no indication of any motion "hookup" and no movement in game.
    3) When I run from SimTools the rig moved when F1 24 initialized. This implies motion is hooked up.
    4) When I run the game there is no motion in the game.

    I know that the game had a significant update since I played it last. In that update all assistance setting were turned on which is not the way I left it. My theory is that the update also lost some important motion data. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin tomorrow. It definitely broke because I ran it every week from when it came out until the end of the season. Now it appears not to work (unless my motion system is coincidentally broken).

    The process name is <F1 24>. Yep that's a space.

    The codemaster games have 2 config files that it patches for telemetry, so if the game was not played in vr before the game plugin was installed, or the update overwrote it, the vr side of thing may not send telemetry.

    To fix this simply remove the plugin from simtools (little trash can on the games banner) and then close simtools. Launch the game in vr and race a lap. then close the game. and relaunch simtools and reinstall the game plugin. (where it can now patch the vr file also for telemetry)\

    I will take a closer look at the process name tomorrow, as a wrong/changed process name would keep the "Auto detect games running option" from working.
    Take care!
