    Hi Guys!

    Can anyone confirm if Simtools works with both Prepar3D V3 and V4 ?

    Thanks!

    I too would like to know, especially v4. How does the SimTools plugin for Prepar3D communicate with the simulator? Is it based on SimConnect, FSUIPC, or a SimTool-specific plugin for Prepar3D?

    Thanks!

    SimTools has its own plugin.

    I think @Archie may have tried P3D V4, so may be able to comment.

    Sadly not. I only had it installed for one day so didn't bother setting up motion for it.

    I would actually be curious to know as well from a technical point of view :)
    I recall Elite Dangerous stopped working when it went to 64bit and @SilentChill had a torrid time tracking down the pointers.

    I suspect that P3D won't be that much of a mess though, given the Simconnect reliance.... ??
