    My Motion Simulator:
    SCN6, Motion platform
    Hi,
    With help from copilot I managed build a plugin for the rc control app (MCRC) I am working on, the code for the plugin is a bit butchered as its my first attempt at a plugin.
    The plugin appears to work perfectly within the plugin tester environment, with the roll, pitch and yaw data streamed quickly and reliably however when I run the plugin within simtools3 I experience a few problems:

    The simulator is quite slow to respond to the data coming from the main app (that or the data is processed slowly) and the UDP data often drops, here is a log extract of the UDP data being dropped:
    Information - 26/11/2024 : Received data: -38.740000,-2.440000,-2.260000 Information - 26/11/2024 : Parsed Yaw: -39, Roll: -2, Pitch: -2 Critical - 26/11/2024 : Error converting data parts to Double: Thread was being aborted.
    This error results in the simulator getting caugh in a short cycle of motion outputs which go on until I close the MCRC app.

    Please let me know if I should have posted this message somewhere else in the forum, I keen to get this working so any feedback or help would be appreciated.
    Attached is the main code for the plugin.

    Thanks,
