    At this point it appears evident that Simtools 1.x plugins are no longer being developed or maintained by the Simtools development crew with the impending release of Simtools2.:( Only a few plugins by other developers such as SilentChill have been receiving updates lately. :thumbs

    I would like to work with young students on a motion simulator dedicated to road safety training and education. The idea is to build a low cost simulator that could be replicated by other schools or university in order to sensitize youth to road safety.

    We would like to use an open source driving simulator that has been developed for research, industry and training by DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence). This software is OpenDS https://www.opends.eu/home which proposes a free version.

    We would need a simtools plugin for that software... It could be great to see simtools used for other applications than pure entertainment.

    OpenDS is billed as opensource yet there is a Pro version that is sold and that version is where motion support for the Atomic sim is available.
    I see Fanatec force feedback is also only available in the Pro versions.

    Why has nobody forked OpenDS to add desirable features?

    No idea...

    I know that motion support for the Atomic sim is available but it needs the pro version which costs about 2000€. We can't afford this licence for our "last year student project"

    It seems most useful features, including driving tasks, environment integration and eye tracking analysis, are part of the pro version.

    If student are keen they could create their own plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/how-to-write-a-plugin-for-simtools-api-documentation.131/

    Alternatively student could capitalise on @narthur157's work to create a generic unity plugin and create theoir own custom driving sim using Unity, as it is free and their are some existing car sim assets via the Asset Store: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/generic-unity-plugin.7804/

    I thought Pypirus made great racing simulator games. I think a lot of them would stand the test of time. I have an issue with subscription based software.

    I looked through the plug in list and found one for FS2004 but not for x. Is there something blocking its release? I was also wondering what you guys do with this request list. Is there someone on here that is talented enough and has enough time to write a plug in?

    In the same thread it is stated that ETS2 plugin is somehow broken. Also to load it, you need to " trick " SimTools.

    " Yes, they broke sway when they released the in cab toys. They wanted the rear view mirror fuzzy dice to swing pretty.

    May I say. American Truck Simulator 2 UPDATED please.

    I doubt an updated plugin will fix the sway issue, it is internal to the software itself; the game engine over expresses that data in order to make dangling objects in the cabin to sway more than normal inertia would otherwise provide which also seems to be randomized as well. But that is only my opinion.

    It might be best to wait until Simtools 2 is released anyway.
