    Hi @yobuddy ,

    It seems that if the parking feature is being used and you test the axes, the actuators still jump to the centre position at full speed but then return to the park position at the controlled speed, thanks.

    Can you tell me what is says in the error logging section of v3?
    I can see that you have an error, as the little blue pen is visible in the pic.
    (You could also try dragging the exe for content manager over the banner, I bet that works.)

    Seems the update took out the temporary telemetry solution.
    We will work on update for the plugin (with official telemetry output) today, hang tight.

    Hi Yobuddy,
    the error message comes from the ardwino uno card which is not connected.
    but for content management it doesn't work

    I believe you don't need to drag n drop CM app to banner. All you need to do is install the Simtools AC plugin and done.
    I just did that and it works as it should.

    EDIT: If you double clicks the CM you should get the rig moves.
    EDIT2: Sorry but have you enable "Auto detect launched games"?

    Hi Deeph46,
    if I understood correctly I can launch CM and the platform will move once in the race?
    however on my PC the automatic detection of launched games is not activated in SimTools, should I activate it?
    I will do my test tomorrow and follow your advice:thumbs

    Hi Carl,
    When you (just) open CM app your rig should be moved if you enable auto detect launched games.
    You should activate it, it makes ease the process:cheers

    @Carl,
    Are you running SimTools as admin?
    (As it will not work if you run SimTools as admin is all)

    Assetto Corsa, EA WRC 23 etc. works, but DR2.0 does not work in SimTools V3 (however it works in SimTools2).

    When the game starts left actuator goes down so I'm tilted back and to the left. And it stays in that position.

    First of all, thank you very much for your effort with this plugin. Now that the UDP update is out, I'm wondering whether it still works or has it even been updated? Greetings ✌️

    Bug found in WRC 2023 and fixed for sway surge and traction loss. Changed direction for a few of the values too.

    I found a problem on surge . in game braking and accelerating swap around after driving a little. sim starts to brake when it needs to accelerate, then, after driving for a little they swap back again and works normal and so on.

    **Edit

    Heh, I post this.... think lets restart simtools.....& voila, Im a fool :D getting values now.

    I was over on the EA Answers site mentioning simtools updated plugin & I was asked a question which I offered to pass on.

    the statement, as asked......

    "I took a look, the plugin is overwriting the whole config file with his own instead of appending its own config. This defeats all the progresses about multiple UDP feeds which are now available in WRC. Missed occasion of a smoother "third party application cohabitation"."

    Is this the case? & if so is it possible to make a change to the plugin to append the config changes rather than overwriting?
