    All F1 Codemasters game plugins have been updated, and now use the proper API's for each one. :thumbs
    (If your 2022 or 2021 plugin stops working, simply change the telemetry output year to the year of the game.)
    (or remove the plugin, and then reinstall it from the repo)

    Sorry, but having issues. I'm reading through the posts, but nothing has helped. In demo mode, I can't load the v3 iracing plug-in. Is this related to not be able to register?

    Only 'Live for Speed' works in demo mode by design.

    Removed all simtools files, restart. Download V3, fail. Removed all files again, reboot. Download 2.6, try registering, fail. Bought professional license Sept 28 2022. Was working, but V3 download seems to haved killed simtools for me. Log below:

    V2 and V3 of SimTools can be run side by side, v2 won't affect v3 (and visa-versa) is all I'm saying.
    And the license don't get removed, so if you reinstall v2 it should fire right up as registered.
    (you just can't run them at the same time is all.)

    My guess is it's the antivirus?
    What antivirus are you running buddy?
    Maybe running SimTools v3 as admin just to register?
    Chat soon!

    Tried Admin in both V3 and 2.6, same error. Apps have access through firewall. I haven't said it, but I appreciate your help.

    A dumb question, but the version I'm trying says Alpha version. Is that correct? I thought I read in this thread that alpha wasn't the right version. I'm using the link from the downloads page.

    The beta site looks the same, but I think you must have been on the alpha site.
    Be worth a download.
    Take care!

    No, that's not the problem here.
    I just think you got the alpha version somehow and its not running anymore.

    If the MS Flight Simulator 2020 plugin for V3 has been ported yet, please update it so it doesn't keep moving while the user is menu... makes it impossible to use the mouse. Thanks.

    It's exciting to see the list of plugins growing!! Great job... Can't wait to start using v3... I can't at the moment since Simtools won't release a way for me to adjust their actuators until SimTools v3 is fully released.

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I own a P7MP 6 DOF rig from ProSimu. When I launch v3, I don't see any axis plugin or interface plugins for the rig. I even switched the repo to ProSimu T1000 7M but I don't see any plugins to configure my rig which is made of 7 actuators.

    No, not yet.
    But the interface api will be the next api posted!
    We just need to wrap up this 'plugin push' and I will get back to finishing up the manual for the interface api.
    We will get there!
