    There is a new WRC generation plugin now posted to the repo. :thumbs
    It has better heave output, and also fixed degree outputs too.
    It also now supports the UDP relay option.
    Take care!

    New Dirt Rally 2.0 plugin posted to the repo! :cheers
    Updated telemetry values for better heave output.
    Added rate outputs for roll pitch and yaw.
    Added UDP relay support.

    (you may need to uninstall the current plugin, and then restart SimTools v3. Then restart v3 and reinstall the plugin from the repo.)
    Take care!

    thx for your hardwork bro.
    I've done some testing and the TL is working, but I find that the roll, pitch, and sway behave so jerky.
    I try to do some fine tuning and here's mine

    Screenshot 2023-01-17 222303.jpg

    I try v2, and the plugins became weird as v3 before, it move to the left and do nothing. I have to re patch the plugins to make it works. so the v2 and v3 cannot work side by side I think.
    just like before, the v3 doesn't support simhub to work together. with v2, I can play it together.

    addition.
    for the WRC, it work good, but in menu, the motion sometimes jumping around randomly.

    The output for sway particularly requires no math at all.
    So its the direct output from the game.
    So my guess is you need to adjust the max/min for the game.

    V3 and V2 do work side by side, but you may not be able to load a plugin for the same game in both without re-patching. In most cases it will work thou.

    Not true, both of these v3 plugins now have UDP relaying built in making it super simple.

    Hi thanks for the help

    axis assignments seen here. I don't know why SimTools is so small on my screen. It did that once and never went back to full size (4k television)

    will give another try on finetuning max/min.
    with simhub, I have difficulties to make it works.
    everytime I patch it (dirt rally 2.0) the simhub doesn't work. and when I patch on the simhub, simtools doesn't work.
    any suggestion?

    It's probably a plugin that has a form loading that needs to be set to point.
    It will happen as I work thru the gui stuff thou.
    Take care!

    You can't patch both unfortunately, as only one app can collect the data from the source at a time.
    So you will need to relay the data to the other app if you want to use both.

    An updated WRCG plugin has been posted. You can access it within SimTools. This should fix the random jumps during page loads before a race.

    I did change this and unfortunately it didn't help.

    I notice the behavior is identical in Simtools 2 as well. So I'm not sure what's going on. It just wants to register the heave motion twice for whatever reason.

    Then my guess is you need a firmware update.
    @Thanos, little help buddy...

    It is possible, but this game has a bug in it where the game crashes when you cross the finish line if you have telemetry enabled. There is a exe workaround for the game, but it's kind of ugly.
