    It appears the crash (simtools exit) is related to a usb audio card that was no longer connected to the PC (I disabled vibe, and it no longer exits). The next issue I am seeing is that the rig is showing no motion. Not sure The plugin tester does update with data but the plugin in simtools is not controling the rig.

    The v2 engine stuff has not changed for ages, so there is no reason for it to not work when it comes to changes.
    All effort has gone in to v3 stuff. The only v2 change that has happened is so you can use a v3 license with v2 of simtools.

    Did you patch the game with game manager?
    Do you have max/min settings for the game?
    Take care!

    Hum... I don't think that happened in the SimTools 2.x version. I'll have to check it out.

    Can't change the axis number?

    https://www.flyptmover.com/outputs/thanos

    I set it up for Thanos by referring to this page.

    It moves, but it moves in the wrong direction.

    Actuator #1 is the front right, and goes in clockwise order.
    (Just like mover)

    You just need to adjust the output axis order in your interface settings.
    May I see a pic of your interface settings?

    Are there any plug-in creators that can find the time to make a Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2)/American Truck Simulator (ATS) plugin for Simtools 3? It would be very much appreciated. :thumbs And...perhaps...DCS?

    @Historiker
    I actually have a plugin finished for ETS2, ATS and Scania Truck Driving Simulator.
    Unfortunately thou, I can't get any telemetry data out of any of the games.
    I have not been able to even get the SimTools v2 plugins working either, so I'm not sure whats going on yet
    I can get the popup page that say the api is activated, but that's it.
    Maybe you know what I'm doing wrong?

    Yep, the plugin actually does it.
    And when I start the game it says the sdk is active and then I get no data.
    So I'm just a bit confused is all.

    Probably unrelated but I helped someone with ETS2 the other day (2/27) with a different motion software. I had to stop and start the plugin while driving for it to start seeing the data. Had only manually added these files to the fresh install of the game.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\plugins\ets2-telemetry-server.dll 92KB

    Has anyone successfully used the IL-2 or Elite Odyssey plugins? Simtools 3 recognizes that they are running and sets my motion system to Park position (50% for me using a PT Actuator inspired system). But I receive no telemetry data from the game (Min/Max Tuning).
    Other games, such as Assetto Corsa, do work and receive data from the game.

    Thanks

    Should work just fine, thou you will want to set a proper launch path. (see below)

    You may find that some game plugins do not set a launch path for a given game plugin, or the path is setup for a different version of the game than what you’re running. 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.

    Let me know if you have problems.
    Take care,

    That information is valuable, I did not know that function :thumbs

    It was fixed with a reinstallation of SimTools3, maybe in the installation of some update there was an error because at first it did work (the client told me).
    Thanks for your help @yobuddy :cheers

    I can't get AC to work with motion when using content manager? It works fine when just using the ac plugin but don't know how to get it working when going through content manager. If anyone can help that would be very much appreciated.

    Do you mean when you hit the play button?
    If so, simply go to the .exe of content manager (or a shortcut to launch content manager) and drag it over the games banner in v3.

    Now when you click play it will launch content manager.
    Take care!
