    Where can i download the plugin?
    I use simtools v3 beta. I have deleted the old plugin and try to install it again. Then i get the same plugin with the hint that it will use the patch from racedepartment and it still doesn't work.
    I assumed that the patch isn't necessary anymore after WRC has udp support.
    What im doing wrong - Please help - we have a big WRC Event on the Weekend and without motion it sucks.

    After restarting simtools i have now the new forces roll, pitch .... available in the axis assignment,
    but it is still not moving. Simtools get no values. Trying to capture min/max values but simtools doesn't recieve anything.

    Where is the problem? Some dudes here running the plugin, in general it sems to be working.
    What the hell im doing wrong ???

    So when I donwloaded the plugin, simtools restarted but I got no movement or values. I had to restart simtools a second time before it started working.
    Hope that helps, perhaps just restart your pc.

    Do WRC 23 in PS5 have telemetry and will work with Simtools?

    (WRC23) Working really well here (SFX100 + TL). The issues on the previous plugin (V2) that caused traction loss/surge and sway to be all over the place appear to have been fixed on the V3 plugin. Patching the game to work with Simhub alongside Simtools was also hassle free.

    Brilliant Plugin, thanks very much to the creators :)

    Hi @p00ky,
    Sure this can be updated to edit the file. It just seemed like there was a lot to edit to turn off all the stuff we don't need (like dbox does not need to be on the whole time, and it defaults to on.)
    We will be updating this plugin again anyway, as the current one is removing the old unofficial patch and we won't need that in a couple of weeks I think.

    Yeah so I finally jumped on the v3 train so i can get WRC up and running. I'm still having issue after the simtools v3 install.

    Test Motion Works all fine. When WRC game starts its get to Standby position and even the Min/Max Tuning Capture all works (see it capturing data). But I still don't have any motion?

    Ok I just jumped back on to take pictures of all my settings, now it is working. Nothing was changed. I am guessing I needed a reboot... sure thought I did after install.

    Hi, with the WRC update and the new plugin, the problem of the game not starting has disappeared. Now when I drop the Ea app executable in the game banner in sintools v3, the game will play.
    Thanks to all of you for your work.

    Well I took the plunge and installed v3 and spent 3hrs last night and finally got somewhere but unable to get motion to my rig when testing. When I start the app the seat moves and centers but that the end of it.
    Spent 2 more hrs this morning and I can capture in game motion, I've setup each actuator values and setting but I still get nothing. What fun!

    Alls I can say atm is this is not very intuitive for me anyways. It's like things are scattered or hidden and you have to search around for the next steps.

    I need to step away for awhile before I do something I might regret! lol

    Hi @Hobbs77
    Do you have screenshots of your interface settings etc and what motion rig you using?

    So your interfaces are setup and working.
    And you are using SCN actuators it sounds like?

    Ok, so it sounds like your getting data from the game then on the Max/Min page.
    So what does your axis assignments look like buddy?

    Has anyone else noticed that EA WRC 23 motion is different from Dirt 2.0?

    On Dirt 2.0 I have never needed a Smoothing, but now I have to apply at least a 4% Smoothing to my Heave and increase the Heave Tuning to achieve similar road feel going straight like in Dirt 2.0.

    Now I did just move to v3, so it could be from this.

    The two games use different game engines so I think this is normal.
