    You might have a version of the file that doesn't work with the plugin, though. I didn't realize this was possible when I posted the last update, but the next one will address this.

    Please remember that allot of the plug-in's are developed by just members...they are not getting paid for this.

    The plug-in Is working properly over here. The motion is very good. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this weird issue I am having.. I am getting this "jerk" or maybe better described as a annoying thump in my sim. I feel it mostly in the heave dof. It seems somewhat random at times and then it seems to occur whenever the heave is doing it thing. Its a very fast thump and occurs throughout the flight..:confused:

    Have a look on the Virtual Axis and if it is just game data and you find it uncomfortable, then maybe introduce a filter to soften it up.

    Just tried out the 172 and did not see any data spikes/thumps - just your normal air movement. Although it is a nice day were I was flying

    The problem with yaw is that when you are flying the middle (for this plane) is -37 instead of 0. So meaning my 'traction loss' which in this case is yaw is always slided instead of centered.

    If you are flying a plane in this case a small jet. Yaw to the right is -55 and yaw to the left is -22 meaning there is only a difference of 23. I had to manually set min/max of those values to get a bit of feeling in the system, not optimal.

    Crashed are FS related not the plugin.

    Rest is working great btw!

    I have always been of the opinion that True yaw is irrelevant for most sims, as it is just a changing compass heading - there is no 'middle/center' like all the other gravity affected DOFs. If you are running a 360 yaw capable sim then that is a different matter. It's best to use a proper traction loss filter, or calculation for a traction loss axis.

    I see - the plugin is outputting true yaw (compass heading), but you're expecting traction loss, which is more useful for many sims. I might be able to output actual traction loss as an extra DOF. I'll look into it when I look into adding GameVibe support.

    That's very strange. Those numbers are way bigger than anything I was getting. Maybe this is another problem related to SimConnect differences - which version of the plugin are you using?

    Can be it.
    I didn't check the version.
    I saw that you already have a new one.
    I just downloaded it to test.

    I downloaded the last plugin, installed it, redid the Patch and continued the same thing.
    Am I skipping a step?

    You installed it correctly. I'm not really sure what the issue is. Out of curiosity, how many digits are those numbers you're getting, and are there any decimal places on the end? The only thing I can think of is that it looks kind of like a data type error.

    15 digits without decimal place.

    Could this possibly be related to the language settings bug, which manifests for a small number of SimTools users for no known reason, what language is your computer set to @Leandro Kemp: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-language-setting-bug-change-to-english-local.233/

    Thanks for the information. But I’m not natively english, so it’s difficult for me to read and understand and google translator doesn’t help. Sometimes it’s hard to understand how to do things.
    Regards.
