    I've got the plugin installed for simtools 3 and the player is showing telemetry when the video plays. The system auto activates when the player is running so it sees that, but it doesn't show any of the values in simtools.

    I must be missing a step somewhere. I prefer to look up issues before I ask but I can't find anything about it.

    For the plugin I'm using v3 for sure, but the player for 2. There's not one for 3 right?

    Assuming I'm using the most updated versions for both it sounds like it should be working. Perhaps I should uninstall and reinstall.

    @yobuddy linked the v3 player: https://simtools.us/plugin/?varname=1526&color=0e97dd

    SimTools v2 plugins are not compatible with v3.

    That is the plugin, not the player. I have the v3 plugin and v3 simtools. If I understand correctly that plugin listens for the player to start a video, correct?

    The question: Is the player called "SimTools v2 - Video Ride Player" or is there a V3?

    I'm pretty sure v2 is correct, I think I found my missing detail.

    I made the .cfg file match the video name, I did not add the frame rate and type. I can't test it till tonight, but I'm not sure that's it because the player runs the numbers, it just doesn't appear to send them to simtools.

    This is actually the plugin, and the player for SimTools v3.
    (Double clicking the play button launches the SimTools v3 player)

    aaah ok. I thought I was missing something like that. Now I'm REALLY excited to boot up the sim tonight!

    Thanks!

    Update: it worked!

    My telemetry is so bad it's dangerous but I can redo it now that the player is playin'!
