    Hello, the f1 22 plugin works very well too bad for the 2022 format.

    Hi Yobuddy,

    Thanks for your reply. I had another look at it this evening and it worked again for ACC but it seems inconsistent compared to V2.5. The volume sliders now work so I'm trying to set the levels again there as well as in the vibration setting parameters.

    I'll try DR2 again tomorrow and it's great news on the new features you are adding.

    All I need is an RF2 plugin now! :grin

    Hi Yobuddy,

    I think I might be going a bit mad. I played again with the vibration settings in ACC, you could spend weeks tweaking them!

    Tested it on F1 21 and it was fine and then on RF2 and that worked fine. I just need to optimise the min/max settings for both.

    I don't know what I did differently!

    Can you click details on the crash and post a pic of the log?
    What game plugin is it?
    Have you tried with other game plugins?
    Thanks!

    Hi Yobuddy,

    I had to look closely to see the box colour had changed. The 'start with Windows' has been selected and it works fine.

    [​IMG]

    However, 'Auto detect' crashes Simtools when the games start.

    Yes, skinning next so I'll get it fixed up.

    What game?
    Can you hit details on the crash prompt, and show me the log buddy?

    @NjMotion,
    I believe the update I just posted above will fix it.
    Can you give it a shot?

    Simtools app just disappears from the screen and taskbar, no log saved. I tried Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally so far. same thing happens for both. Another thing I noticed is some stutter in game when running V3 and I have a powerful PC, nothing like this happens with V2.

    Could be related to the auto detect game launched bug, let me verify that's fixed.

    Let's get the auto bug fixed and take another look.
    The engine in v3 is way faster than v2, and it smooth as butter here.
    So let's get the auto bug verified fixed and we will try to figure out the capture Max / Min thing.
    Chat soon,

    SimTools3 now closes in both ways, manual and auto detect.
    I'm going to reset everything and try again.
