    Play without VR for a few, see if the problem still persists.
    If it does, it's not in the VR stuff.

    This is the only way to narrow down where the problem is I think.

    How do we see which version we are running?

    I'm about to sort gamevibe and new plugins, but want to be sure I'm up to date.
    thank you

    Thanks for super speedy response as always noorbeast
    My splash screen on game manager is 0.2.1.0
    do I have to uninstall?
    Or do i just begin 2.2 install and all settings will be kept?

    is there a way to back up my interface settings etc?

    Its all simple when u get into it, but damn its head frying if not touched or tweaked in a while.

    No you don't need to uninstall.

    To backup just zip up and save the SimTools folder: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\SimTools

    What screen resolution you on buddy?
    I can't get it to do that here.

    For now, you can move the assignment to DOF slot #5.

    We read these settings from left to right where they should equal a total of 100 to 130%

    Take care,

    @yobuddy

    I used 5760x1080

    If you set 6DOF, you can not use it as a method that you have noticed.

    Maybe korean windows problem...

    Simtools 1.3 was fixed with a separate Highres patch.

    Hello yobuddy

    I use an e-belt tensioner with a SCN

    Unfortunately, I can only use the Half Way of the SCN for belt tightening.

    In order to use more than half way for the brake command surge,

    there should be a possibility to be able to move the initialized middle position.

    So I'm looking for a solution to shift the middle position of a SCN HyperAxis,

    so I have a longer actuator path to one side

    @vsp19 With version 2.2.5, the SCN is located exactly in the center.

    My windows 10 is going nuts with the latest release :

    What have you put in ? :)
    Windows Defender is not happy about it...

    Yes, the release probably needs to go thru a round of summiting the release to antivirus companies for exclusions from their virus detectors.

    I had to submit the last release with Windows Defender to get it to play nice.
    So it's just seeing this new release as 'different' or a problem.

    You can either wait for the false detection to update thru their system.
    Or install something better, like AVG free or Avast free.
    Both would do a much better job of protecting you online IMO.

    Take care,

    This would require a custom Interface Plugin I'm afraid.
