    A simple question: the new plugins for SimTools 2.0 they must be purchased using, as usual, the XS Coin Shop in the forum site or they are completely free for all those who buy a license for the new software?

    The coin system and membership packages used on Xsimulator.net are separate from SimTools licensing and as @yobuddy explains are a convenient way of revenue sharing: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-question-and-answer.8175/page-11#post-115853

    This might be answered elsewhere, but I am unable to find it. (Tagged you @noorbeast as you will likely know :) )

    In the new interface, what is the difference between 2D Standard and 2D basic?

    I'm using the 2D Standard.

    Also, where is the option now on the JRK settings to stop the sim going back to centre?
    Each time I click off to tune the sim it re-centres and when you click back to the game it goes back to where it was.
    On 50:1 it can get pretty violent :D

    In standard mode you can set filters for each DOF (you can't in basic mode)

    I guess it will be the same as before ... The only difference in v2.0 output-setting is that there are two sets of axis you should add the assigned letter in the output string .

    Yes @George Dobransky you are correct it is game manager/profile editor. Hey George you can also soften out effects by raising the values in the tunning center.

    @welen123,
    Would not be any fun for me if there weren't a few bugs.
    I'll take a look.
    You traditionally use a coma as a decimal separator?

    I must change the unUnicode program setting to English (united states ) of my system language and the simtools will works.
    The local emulator you can google it and you will understand what it is.

    Hi All,

    Thanks to yobuddy and all involved in the development of the new Simtools. hug:
    but I'm have some teething problems, so I have completely removed Simtools 1.3 installed and registered new ST, seem to have patched Project cars ok, but struggling with the interface setting I think! (was working before) can't seem to get the Game Manager to connect to the Game Engine, the status will not change from "not connected". I'm using SMC3 Arduino and two IBT-2, windows 10. Any ideas?? :think

    Thanks

    Mark
