    Unfortunately v2 plugins are only for SimTools v2.
    There is someone looking into updating the wreckfest plugin, but I have not heard anything yet.
    Take care!

    So I have updated as per your advise, however it seems the issue is with VR, if I load in standard mode it works, if I load in VR it doesn't work, any ideas.
    I'm using a Quest 2, connected via USB, F1 launches steam VR, the VR side is fine just no motion?

    My guess is the game was not played in VR once before the plugin was installed?
    Please remove the game plugin, and then run the game in vr and finish a race, then close the game and re-install the plugin and you should be good to go.
    Take care!

    You can drag-drop the shortcut (or exe) for content manager onto the banner for assetto corsa and you should be good to go.

    Ahh I didn't realise it also needed to be completed in VR as well as normal, I'll give it a go and confirm. Have a great Christmas, thanks for all the work you have put into this.

    If I change Min/Max Tunings under Motion settings by dragging the sliders, it doesn't save the settings. It works during the current session, but when I exit and start SimTools3 again the settings are reset do default. Am I missing something? the save-button is disabled.

    Hi,
    I own the 2.6 license to use with my ProSimu 5DOF motion simulator with the PRS200. I would like to try the EA Sports WRC game using my ProSimu cockpit, but I only see the plugin for Simtools version 3.0. I have downloaded this version and installed the Demo (I have not validated it yet) to familiarize myself with it, but the change seems big. I don't see compatibility with the PRS200 (Yes with Thanos, SCN, HyperAxis, etc.) Is this V3.0 currently compatible with my ProSimu PRS200 as in V2.6?
    thanks

    Yes, we sent them their interface plugin ages ago.
    Contact them and they should have everything you need.
    (Buzz me if you have any problems)

    Yobuddy, wouldn't it be possible to add the possibility of changing the intensity of the profile through a shortcut during the game?

    Reach out to support@prosimu.com. I'm using v3 with my 7DOF but you need their customized version.

    Yes, but I could never add shortcuts for all things people have asked for, so it's best to make an addon api, and then a addon, for a remote profiler. We are currently going thru the code polishing up v3 for a proper release candidate. (And the v3 manual is 99.5% done for its first release also.) So we are close to getting on with some new things, I will for sure come back and look at a remote profiler for v3 when I can.
    Take care!

    Is anyone else having problems with Game Vibe in V3 since the last update? It was working previously in all my games, but now the bass shakers work on the settings page where you select your sound card, but when I click the test button when setting volumes per game it always crashes Sim Tools and they don't work in any games anymore, the motion is still working fine. Thanks

    Seems all I had to do was disable and re-enable the vibe settings and they are all working again
