    Does anyone know if Assetto Corsa Evo will have a SimTool 3.x plugin soon?

    I came here to find out. I did some research and apparently it’s the same protocol as AC and ACC. But you can’t believe everything you read in the internet.

    Question below...

    Could either of you give me the exe name, and the running process name for AC Evo (usually the same). Then I can put together a test plugin for the game.

    Here's something that might be helpful in creating a motion plugin based on telemetry. Simhub already did tap into it.

    Hello,

    I am trying to transfer from Simtools V2 to V3 as it seems I need to reinstall my windows as I could not find a way to have a stable connection to the interface. before I reinstall it I need to check if everything works.

    Is there a way to transfer my setup and presets to V3?

    I have very extensive setups I was working on for months, do I need to input all manually again in the V3?
    I cant find any import option for presets or setup in the V3 version.

    I wish there was an easy way to export and import out of Simtools (for Windows Reinstalls, or just for backup)

    Unfortunately, the files between the two versions are not compatible. So re-setting up will be required.

    You can do this with SimTools v3, go to the options page and in the lower right click export wizard. If your sim is all setup and working correctly, export a setup file (no extra settings are needed) simply name your setup file and export the file. Next, you can export any game plugins that are setup. Be sure to export them as custom game plugins (so all your profile settings get included)

    When you want to re-setup v3, simply launch SimTools v3 and then drag-drop your setup file into v3. (Then simply follow the on screen prompts) . After the setup file is installed, drag-drop your backed up game plugins into v3 and your all setup again with no settings being required by hand.
    Hope this makes sense buddy.
    Take care!

    plugin posted to the server...

    NOTE: Not all of the telemetry data usually available for the Assetto Corsa games, is currently available for Assetto Corsa EVO. Because the current games Status is also not available, telemetry currently starts before your actually on the track. This plugin will be updated as soon as the rest of the telemetry is available.

    I also seem to have this issue a lot. I click save a hundred times, click capture and then save, etc. Only to find that next time I fire it up my settings were not saved. I'd also love to see a descriptive name in place of the cloud/runway as this really threw me for a loop when I first used V3.

    After you save you have to close simtools by right clicking and choosing exit for those settings to save. I'm sure they're working on it, but that's how you can do it for now.

    I have a 2 DOF, GTR compact motion simulator. Two motors, left and right of the seat facing aft. I mainly fly MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. I am trying to setup pitch and roll. Pitch meeds to have one channel reversed. I have some washout and gain set for roll. When I’m on the runway and I start simtools v3 the motion simulator pitches aft as if already accelerating. Hardly any braking. I have set up surge but had no luck. It accelerated and braked fine on the deck but once airborne the pitch was reversed. I tried all combinations of reversing pitch and surge but no luck. Any help in setting this up correctly? Thank you
