    This plugin is what this game need!!! Fantastic. All smooth and responsive, no surge problem at last!!!! V3 instalation proces is little not intuitive. Becouse The process seems to hang and nothing is happening for a long while, but it working and for about a minute or maybe long start working and installing. Configure process is different to the sim tools 2, but easy and for me is better. Also parking option is awesome, bo more hard starting. One problem for me that after creating profile and stop playing one motor was hot. Maybe becouse by mistake on the end I was set surge and sway on the one force. This need to test it longer. But my face was smiling like on christamst gift on this brilliant rbr profile. Thank you very much for your effort

    hello Youbuddy and good morning to the whole community. Please excuse me if I didn't answer your question earlier. As I wrote a few weeks ago I had some health problems .... now fortunately almost solved and I could not devote myself to the simulator and simtools. However, this morning I started simtols v3 and after the update everything works perfectly. I no longer have the problem of the small and unreadable interface. Now I'm finally ready to test all the new features in v3. Thank you thank you and thank you again for the support

    I sent the ProSimU guys a test interface last week, but have not heard anything from them.
    I will work on releasing the interface api in the next week or so, so we can get you supported.

    Awesome!
    Thanks for the feedback buddy, glad your feeling better!

    Hi @Milt if you are still looking for a fix for simhub and simtools with dirt rally 2.0 then add these lines in the hardware_settings_config file

    <udp enabled="true" extradata="3" ip="127.0.0.1" port="20777" delay="1"/>
    <udp enabled="true" extradata="3" ip="127.0.0.1" port="4123" delay="1"/>

    Hi,

    I just started up my sim rig after a year and found Simtools has an upgrade!!! Its much easier to navigate than the old Simtools and I managed to set up my simulator in half the time....

    My only issue now is that F1 2022 plugin will not launch EA F1 2022 (Half price on EA). When I run the plugin it launches a Steam video rather than the F1 game on EA. I added F1 to Steam as a Non Steam game but no joy. Any ideas?

    Many thanks....

    Hi @seb414,
    To update a launch path for a game plugin, simply drag and drop the games exe or shortcut on the banner for the given game plugin.

    Hi all, I have installed and registered the v3 configured the com interfaces and the axes with the settings of the v2 but I have no movement with the axis test and not even starting the game. Can you help me understand where I'm wrong, thanks.

    I inserted an image of the Motion setup but I also configured the other axes ...

    Logically with the v2 with the same settings everything works correctly.

    Ok solved, I deleted the space in the string on "Interface / Output" (Axis 1a in Axis1a) and the axes now move ....
    Only the movements don't match, now I'll waste some time.

    Please remove the spaces buddy, Example... <Axis1a><Axis2a>
    [​IMG]

    Also, your sending both with an 'A', I'm not sure what hardware or sketch your using, but i bet one should be... B<Axis4a>

    From the rest of the settings it looks likely SMC3, so as you say it should be this format: [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][C<Axis3a>]

    Thanks for the help, indeed with v2 (SMC3) I have:
    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>]
    [A<Axis3a>][B<Axis4a>]
    [A<Axis5a>][B<Axis6a>]
    in the rush to try v3 I made this mistake, also due to lack of experience......
    Thank you my friends, I'll try everything tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get there!!
