    Please try removing the plugin from SimTools v3. Restart SimTools and reinstall the plugin.
    The patching routine was updated on the 16th of last month and tested to be working.
    So please give it a try buddy :thumbs

    @yobuddy Perhaps, this is already requested, when do you expect to have telemetry support for AC Rally and PMR?

    @VFX Pro,
    I have not seen any information for telemetry on Project Motor Racing yet.
    If you have found such info, please send it my way buddy.
    Chat soon!

    Close game engine and game manager then use the simtools plugin updater and just drag and drop

    Simply install then thru the plugin manager directly in SimTools v3. There is no need to place them anywhere by hand.

    They get added to the repo directly in SimTools v3.

    The simulator starts from the SimTool v3 interface, but not from the Steam game directory.

    Is it possible to make profile switching automatic for Raceroom Racing Experience? (I couldn't find if this has been asked and answered).

    I would be a very valuable to feature.

    ok so i have tried this a number of way but cannot get x-planes 12 to work under simtools plugin.
    first, the 6DOF works in simtools just fine and you can run the sliders and get the chair to move correctly.
    this indicates that the simtools is setup right.

    now when you run the plugin, and x-planes the chair jumps and vibrates terribly. i have all the right settings in x-planes that the plugin lists. i have the right UDP and port. However i think the plugin has issues.

    now, to test i have setup the same profile in DCS and walla the chair/virtual output work just fine and behaves like it should. moving back to X-planes just random vibrations and in Virtual output the output mimics the chair. i have tried to set the smoothing, the delay, etc. Nope still no good.

    I even changed the min/max settings and nope, still not go.

    given this does not seem to work, i can only guess its a buggy plugin for 3d rotation.
    my next test is to download x-planes 11 and see if it works.

    has anyone else experienced this?
