    My rig has been torn down for quite some time and I'm just about to fire it up again. I noticed that an updated version of simtools had been been released awhile back along with updated plugins for each game?

    Is this correct?

    Also, can I just use the old simtools and plugins that I currently have or do I need to update everything?

    I only play iracing and Assetto Corsa.

    Thanks,

    Also, what is the benefit of the new version? I have a 2dof seat mover with traction loss.
    Thx

    SimTools 1.3 plugins are not maintained, so if they break via game updates they will not be fixed.

    SimTools 2 is a whole new modular framework and brings both performance and functionality enhancements.

    Eligable DIY builders such as yourself can apply for a free SimTools 2 DIY license, see here for details and note this link also covers the difference in Interface Settings between Simtoos 1.3 and 2: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/request-a-free-diy-simtools-2-0-license.262/
