    Fixed - Kart Racing Pro Patching.
    (Know that depending on where the game gets installed, you may have to patch the game with SimTools launched as admin)
    Take care!

    Um... OTL Unfortunately... not solve the problem.

    I checked this and that just in case there was a conflict with another program, but I couldn't find it.

    What's the problem? o_O:think:(

    Not sure, but the main form seems wider on your screen than it should be.

    Hi Yobuddy,

    I tried F1 22 today, it's on offer on Steam! The telemetry is a lot better than 2021 for some reason. I wanted to see what the VR is like and I have to say it looks really good. However, although V3 says the game is running there's no motion when using VR but there is in 2D mode. Just tried it in V2.5 and there's motion in VR. Not sure if it's just me?

    Hmm... they patch the same way, thinking...

    Will you check "C:\Users\(user folder)\Documents\My Games\Grid Legends\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config_vr.xml"

    And take a peek to see if it looks like it patched.
    The only thing different I see is the port it uses.

    Hi Yobuddy,

    I removed the F1 plugin and then reloaded it and it worked. I guess I needed to do a race in VR as well as in 2D before patching.

    Awesome!

    You may know this already, but you can export a shortcut from steam to your desktop to launch directly in vr.
    And then drag drop the shortcut onto the F1 banner, and it will launch directly to vr from simtools.
    take care!

    a little bug lives in Grid Legends plugin. when I hit Pause in race, platform goes all the way to the left. I exit the game. Sim goes back to normal position. I pressed test motion and again all the way to the left. Closed simtools, opened again and test is working normally. If I enter the game again , hit pause, will do the same thing.

    Yep, know that SimTools v3 will only auto re-setup 1 com port per interface. (setup plugin)
    So if you were to send someone a setup plugin, they would have to edit the settings for com port #2 by hand.
    Take care,
