    The traction loss in the V3 version works fine it's just the min/max settings are very different.

    The plugin has no baring on the gain, but will take a look.

    We Pushed a SimTools v3 update that contains the needed api dll's for the plugins listed below.
    FSX, Prepar3D and MFS2020 plugins updated and uploaded to the repo.

    After the SimTools update, these 3 plugins should work as expected!
    Take care,

    Just installed wrc generations and now trying to patch the game in simtools 3.
    it's asking me to select the wrc generations game save directory. I have played a couple of races in solo and career mode but can't locate the save directory. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

    I just tried msfs 2020. I startup msfs and simtools plugin attaches to the running game. There are no errors but i am not receiving any data for motion. The microsoft simconnect is in the game plugin for for simtools V3.
    C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\SimTools3\GamePlugins.
    I also restarted the pc after the update. Any Ideas why i have no data, Thanks :)

    Please help me! I configured the interface and the engines, during the tests in SimToolsV3 they move but during the game they don't.

    PS. I'm double-clicking the PLAY button to start the game.

    PS2. In SimToolsv2 it works better with values at 200%. Do not worry about this.

    Please uninstall MSFS 2020 plugin and then restart SimTools. Once restarted, install the MSFS 2020 plugin through the plugin manager in SimTools and see if you get movement.

    Uncheck Auto Profile in the upper right corner and then try again.

    I have removed the plugin msfs2020, rebooted, reinstalled the plugin, placed the .exe onto the plugin as this is a non steam version and rebooted. When i use the plugin to start msfs 2020, msfs crashes half way through loading. I tried this several time to be sure, rebooting between tries. If I start msfs and let it load then start simtools v3 it will attach to the sim. But i still have no motion data input.

    It can be the games exe or the shortcut you use to launch the game.
    Do you use the exe to launch the game? if not drop the shortcut onto the game banner.

    Other than that, we will just need to wait a bit for some more feedback and go from there.
    See if someone with the steam version is able to get it working.
    Take care,

    I switched the exe from FlightSimulator.exe to gamelaunchhelper.exe and it will now launch the sim without crashing and attach to the sim, but no motion data.
    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.31.22.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\gamelaunchhelper.exe

    Awesome, thx for the info.
    Are you looking for motion data in the min/max tuning center?

    Yes, For some reason I'm not getting data to the motion input and I can't figure out why. It attaches to the sim ok but not retrieving the motion data
