    So.. Have now installed and tested it :)
    Works perfect in Iracing and AC.
    Missed some feedback in V1.3 in Iracing compared to AC.
    Feel a lot more feedback in Iracing and compareable more in AC.
    Great update.

    THANKS:thumbs:thumbs:thumbs

    Ok, I did get an answer via email.
    Unfortunately it was not my current forum email nor the paypal one, but the one I used to register here long time ago and that I dismissed. I just check it now and then because some old customers could still contact me using it. It just happened I checked it tonight.

    Thanks for replying me, I'll buy the pro license again:cheers

    Thanks @yobuddy and all the others who assisted in testing.
    While updating my plugins via the Download page I realised just how many games I still play, purely because of motion!

    Thank you! hug:

    Although the maths may not be correct you can run a 6dof with simtools V2.
    you can connect 6 interfaces and control 12 axis(correct me if mistaken).It works well for racing. Not sure for flight as I haven't tried it.

    Hi There,

    Another bug i have found. If I make an axis assignment, in Game Engine and save it, (starting with DOF1 not 'ROLL') after you exit G.E app (right click at bottom right
    and exit) and start again G.E, if you select again your saved assignment, it loads a bit different, always starting with 'ROLL'. looks like not saving as well, or something like
    that. Didn't tried with the other DOF's.
    It was the sam bug in VER1.3 by the way...

    I'm using Win7.

    Cheers,
    George

    @George Dobransky start by making a default assignment and save it. Then use that for making game profiles. When you have something you like make a preset by clicking preset then create preset. If by chance it doesn't load correctly you can use your preset.

    It happened to me today too: I just have two profiles, default and AssettoCorsa (that's just a copy).

    When I opened it tonight to change some % I had one force with different values between the two profiles .
    It often happened in simtools 1.3 when switching from one profile to another that checkbox values would change.

    Maybe it's just a problem loading the values, but if you then save, it saves with the wrong new checkbox values
