    Hi, I thought once you had 250 coins you could download a plugin? I am trying to download the MS2020 but it says I can't, do you now need to pay for a years subscription?

    Hi, thank you, couldn't easily see how to do it...
    To try and figure out if there is an issue with v3 in Fs2020 I have now downloaded the plugin for v2 however I am unable to get any movement in the simulator.
    When testing individual axis in Simtools 2 it works fine, when I set it back to DOF and test I get no movement. Game engine connects to the Sim fine, I can hear the motors engage, but no motion feedback.

    So I realised what I had not done and that was the Min/Max settings, didn't realise in v2 it needed to be done to get the SIM to work.
    Spent a few hours trying to tame the beast but it behaves exactly the same as v3, so its good that v3 is behaving the same, it's bad because I have absolutely no idea now what the heck to do to make it a playable rig with FS2020. Just been playing F1 2023 and it's awesome, wish I could say the same for FS2020....Argghh

    Flight sim profiles tend to be very different to car si8m motion profiles, so my guess is further refinement is needed, please see the tuning tips in the FAQs, initially doing one axis at a time: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/
