    Thank you, I will do that.

    Strange that DCS don't have an setting to play the sim in window mode. Like in other games. But anyhow, I'll turn down the resolution and see if it helps.

    Hello,

    I've tried to turn down the res and have that way enabled to have both window mode DCS and Simtools open on the same screen (although focus for moving inputs can only be in one window at the time ofc). And no, no movements/values in Simtools Max/Min tuning screen when moving the stick in DCS at all. Just zero's in the input line.

    Reading the posts about udp-settings in the main thread, I'm beginning to wonder if that could be the problem for me too. How can I find those settings and what should it be for DCS?

    Kind regards

    Michael

    Good morning
    I have exactly the same problem as Michel.
    Since I switched to Simtools 3 it no longer works.
    I never had a problem before on the old version of Simtools.
    I have no problem with other simulations (except WRC Sport)
    What interests me at the moment is to run my engines on DCS
    Has anyone found where the problem could be coming from?
    I still have the old DCS plugin, but I think it's the same one installed in Simtools 3

    The v2 and v3 plugins are not compatible, if that is what you mean. So I am just checking that you installed the DCS plugin from directly inside the plugin manager in v3?

    Hello @noorbeast.
    Thank you for wanting to help me.
    I am using the latest version of the DCS plugin for simtools 3.
    Motion inputs are 0 in flight. However, simtools detects DCS well.
    I have no movement issues with my other games.


    I tried simtools 2 again which is still installed on my computer. it does not work either
