    Hi @Sebastian2,
    This is because the project doesn't know where the "IPlugin_Game.dll" API is located at. You will need to go to the app Properties, and then References and fix the path to the api. (It located in the bin\release folder). Then i believe it will compile just fine.

    If not, give me a shout.
    Chat soon,

    Thanks to your advice, I got nebriv's Plugin to compile. However, while flying, TuningCenter shows all zeros, so it does not work for me.

    Then i thought, hey, maybe the UDP output or the parsing does not work as inteded, so again i've put dummy values into the outputs. Check attached Pic06 (before) and Pic07 (after). Still, TuningCenter shows all zeros.

    The edited Project file can be found here:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UHFN8Go54hHghEvXNjGb9owJdOLXAQZ9/view?usp=sharing

    Again, I paused the game while in flight, closed GameEngine and GameManager, deleted the the VTOLVR_GamePlugin.dll that I've just created based on nebriv's code, put the VTOLVR_GamePlugin.dll that I've got from Map63Vette in its place, start GameEngine and GameManager, and then I see TuningCenter populated with sensible values.

    This is my check to rule out that I'm doing something wrong, to see if it's the plugin or if its me. Does this make sense?

    Seeing all these plugins fail makes me think I'm doing something wrong.

    Dirt2, MSFS2020 and DCS all work fine for me...

    Does anybody have any ideas what I could try next?
