    Oh, very sad news about GameDash being only in Pro version. I think a lot of DIYers use GameDash to drive their dashes. (Personally I don't have sim yet and use only GameDash)
    And I don't know if this has such sense, because recently Berney from SimX announced they are going to release free version of SimCommander, so it can be assumed that people with tight budget will prefer it. If you have iracing subscription, you can check Berney post here - link


    Yes it does, check my project (link) for example. Don't tested with new build yet, though

    So then, whens the release date ?? I'm itching to try some proper 6DOF profiles :)

    Also are the plugins going to be made differently as I have only just about got my head around the current ones.

    Do you need another Beta Tester yet ?? I'm here waiting :p :popcorn

    The problem for @Icefox is that he can't join the 127.0.0.1 ip address while he's not connected... So it's not an Internet connection but a localhost

    Plugins will still output simular values , just more values for running other parts of the new SimTools , yet to come.

    6Dof has been proven on my rc model, now just starting to code it into an axis plugin so it seamlessly integrates with SimTools and any SimTools compatible interface will work. Sorry was going to be a standalone app that worked by udp transfer but @yobuddy has kindly created an area in SimTools that will make this a world easier to integrate and for others to include different stuff.

    1 more question is Simtools v2.0 going to be 64bit compatible ???

    I have been banging my head against a brick wall with GTA5 and Elite trying to get the memory addresses read in simtools v1.3 only thing I can think is because they are both 64bit ?

    Ive been reading questions about game dash. I dont have motion yet but I use Takatec display as a dash for Race07 . I believe it works on AC and sone other sims.
    Ive also seen fron trawling theres several digital display dash that run through an ipad.
    At one stage there was a GUI display started by one of our members but it didnt go further.
    Now where was I ........ oh yes , if a dash is imperitive, maybe look at a 5 or 7 inch screen and or your phone and use an aftermarket display.
    Just a thought.....
