    I have a 4dof sim and my 4th axis is for traction loss but when I use the Extra1 on axis 4 in Dirt2 and 3 the motor#4 is receiving surge input from the games instead of traction loss. In Simtools it is indicated that Extra1 is for traction loss. Tuning center is also displaying surge input in the Extra1 cell when I'm accelerating or breaking. Is there an other step we need to perform to get traction loss from these games? Could the latest version of Simtools have changed the way the engine digests Dirt2 and 3 telemetry? Dirt Rally runs perfectly with traction loss. Tks!

    @value1 could you please update the plugin to accept extradata=3 instead of 1?

    There is no way for me too use other apps like simevibe, simdash etc together with motion.
    Because we need to use a proxyserver, the main port data must be 1 for simtools but 3 for other apps, they dont work together. (not even with assigned api number in a proxyserver)

    The only solution i can think of is using extradata=3.

    This also applies for Dirt 3.

    I know these are old games, but they are really fun to play, even after all these years. Would be awesome if i can get them working with dash en vibe, and even wind.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok after more testing i think i know what the issue is, this plugin should listen to extradata 1 instead of 0.

    Can this be done? @yobuddy @value1 ?
    In the xml hardwaresettings you can only add one line. For simtools it must be extradata=0 and for other app (also proxyservers) extradata=1.
    When extradata=1 is added into the xml, and port is forwarded to 4123, simtools crashes (or rather quits)

    Yes, it's possible to run Dit2 with extradata=1 but I need some time to update the plugin.
