    I'll have to fire my game up again and see. I haven't messed with it in quite some time, though I would hope they wouldn't have changed that much in what they output. Maybe they added or scaled some values differently though. Kind of looks like that might be the case based on your accel numbers at least.

    Well, I started setting up my simulator again for the first time in a while, but something is up with my SimTools. I used to have a folder full of plugins and I thought I had a folder for my VTOL setup, but I can't seem to find it anymore. What's weird is I reinstalled SimTools since it somehow disappeared from my system and it still shows my games as being patched, but I can't find where the patches actually are. Have also just been busy with work and family stuff, so haven't had much chance to dig into this.

    Ah, okay. I had a feeling there was probably some kind of "save file" so to speak in the AppData folder somewhere. Guess it's just config data though, not the plugins themselves. I still can't figure out what happened to those. I swore I had them all in one folder somewhere, but the only one I can seem to find is the basic joystick movement one. I can't even find my dev folder I had for the VTOLVR plugin, so looks like I might be starting over anyway.

    Edit: Just found the plugin folder in the same general AppData location with the plugin DLLs, so I guess not all is lost. May have found a backup of my Visual Studio project as well, so will have to see what I can make of it.
