Bug F1 24 Working Now

I was surprised and happy to see the F1 24 plugin available yesterday. I had a few problems but it is working now.

When I installed it I got “not a valid directory” warning. I decided to try F1 22 and it worked. When I went back to home F1 24 was in the menu where I had expected F1 22 to show up. I clicked run on the F1 24 icon and it started F1 24.

Once started the feedback was not hooked up. Fortunately there is a nice telemetry menu under the game settings. As you might expect from failed install telemetry was turned off. I referred to the F1 22 settings (this has been working for the last year) and made the same settings in F1 24. This worked and when I change the format from 2022 to 2024 it still worked.

The physics are better most noticeably there is a much better throttle profile. I turned down the feedback setting down from 45 to 40 on my DD1. Beyond that it’s somewhat subjective. I run with all assists off. Haven’t made a judgement on the motion yet but it didn’t just piss me off like F1 22 did.

So the final telemetry settings are as follows :

Cant find the download for the f1 24 plugin. Is it not in the download section ?

Thanks noorbeast.
Guess I have to uninstall the old one to use v3 ?

The "Auto detected launch Games" feature is not working for f1 2024.
Would it be possible to fix this in Simtools 3.0, so that when opening the game on Steam the game plugin is activated automatically like in other games?
Thanks !

I had the same problem. Here is the fix: click the auto detect in the settings page. The from the tool bar click and hit exit from the menu in the toolbar. This will cause SimTools to go through the normal exit and save that setting. Then it works in all the games. But then MSFS is the only one that complains about the license.

I plan to officially post settings since there aren’t any here. I would suggest to stick with roll, pitch and heave without surge or sway. Also get familiar with the smoothing filter.

The problem you mentioned is a little different than what I had noticed previously. Before, I noticed that sometimes the "Auto Detected launched game" option doesn't save the parameter when exiting the screen for the first time. You click on it, exit the screen, come back and see that the parameter was not taken. Then, you need to click again for the information to be recorded.

However, the problem I'm facing is different. Even after resolving the above error and ensuring that the parameter is recorded correctly and working in all games, it still does not work in F1 24.

This issue only occurs with F1 24. I believe it is related to that game's anti-cheat system, which takes a long time to run before the game itself is opened. As a result, SimTools does not recognize that the game has been opened, making it necessary to manually activate the plugin or launch the game directly from SimTools. This is inconvenient for me as I play in Virtual Reality. I am forced to open the game through Steam and then return to SimTools to activate the movement platform.

Ahh. Well MSFS (on my mind) won’t even run. I will try F1 24 but I suspect it won’t work for me either. At least it works when you run from the menu. You can drag and drop the the gear from the toolbar menu to the toolbar and run it from there. Very convenient.

It is just as I had foreseen. Does not work for me either.
