    I'm trying to figure out why this doesn't work. I know this is where the IL-2.exe is. But it won't patch.
    What am I doing wrong? I tried running the game but that didn't doing anything. Screenshot (3).png Screenshot (4).png Screenshot (5).png Screenshot (8).png

    Hi YoBuddy

    I've tried this and still doesn't launch, I've even tried removing the plugin then restarting the pc and then adding again. The image i posted earlier is the same response when trying to launch the game from simtools. I can click directly on the game from the desktop and it will launch fine just not with simtools and then no movement. I went back to V2 and it works fine so I'll just have to do that when I want to use it

    I'm guessing you mean a shortcut for the game?
    If so, please drag-drop the shortcut over the game in SimTools v3 (like in the pic below)
    (Then when you launch the game in v3, it will use the new shortcut)

    The "IL-2 Sturmovik great battles" folder should work too.
    (The plugin is looking for: The path you give it and \data\startup.cfg)

    I tried that and it still didn't patch. I could only go down the path to data. I couldn't select startup.cfg, it is there though.

    You know when I tried to patch it said it didn't patch, but when I shut v3 down and then restarted, on the home page it shows the banner for IL-2. So i guess it did work. Thank you for the help!

    I meant to say the banner was on the v3 home page. When I put the mouse over it, it was working!
    When I clicked on the wavy lines it went right to motion settings.

    Unfortunately it seems they have removed motion output for anything but dbox at release.
    (Although they did send out a how-to for telemetry, it seems it's simply not there yet, and can't be turned on.)

    Here is a note from them...
    "D-BOX motion will be supported at launch. Additional UDP will be supported in an upcoming patch. When we have more info to share we will do so."

    Do you need to connect to the network to install SIMTOOLS V3? It takes a long time each time, or it is stuck!

    Yes, you need online access, as the installer pulls the newest version from the server for the installation.

    EA WRC game plugin posted
    upload_2023-11-3_13-42-49.jpeg

    This plugin uses the telemetry patch found at racedepartment.com, as the native telemetry is not enabled yet in the game. When EA turns on native telemetry for the game, we will update the plugin to use it.

    The Data Page for the game can be found here:

    I am using simtools v3 mainly for GT7 on PS5, so my PC is just running in background, not even attached to any monitor, thus inconvinient to access out of the simrig.

    Therefore I'd love to see an option to set additional hotkeys, like:

    1. to start the game / run simtools
    2. to adjust in-game "profile intensity"

    Implementing this the same way "turn off" hotkey can be activated in the settings would be sufficient.
    Could we please get this feature for an upcoming v3 release?

    Many thanks!
    David
