    How to center VR War thunder?
    I cannot center War Thunder :(. VR is out of side.
    Dirt rally has a button "z". I try all options on steam forum. All fails. :(

    I think the default mapping button is the Delete key, but what I do is map a button on my joystick to recenter in VR, here is how, in the War Thunder menu go to Common->View Controls->Tracker Controls->Reset Tracking Position and map your joystick button to it:

    Now have a new problem. Installed war thunder plugin. Installation complete. But if I start the game. Simulator not responding. And still can test my simulator while gaming. Looks the game not connecting simtools. Dirt , cars, BF3 all are working. But war thunder game no motion happens.

    Are you running the current version of both SimTools and the War Thunder plugin?

    Did you get a confirmation dialog window that WT was correctly patched for motion?

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings.

    Found wat is wrong. I have simtools 2.2.5 and need 2.3.1 I think :(. Now I need to update simtools and I don't like that! :( . I think then I lost all my setting again for dirt rally :( . And don't no the way to go. Last time it cost me a day are 3. To even install a plugin :( . Was reason 2 times simtools installed. I think I leaf war thunder and just drive dirt rally as long as the simulator go's doing it :) . I not good doing installations.

    I thought that may be the case.

    You should be able to just install the new version over the top of the old without issues, but to be certain you can take a backup first, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...thout-loosing-your-profiles-and-settings.160/

    What version of Windows are you running?

    I get war thunder working! Only one thing thing is a problem. My simulator is not 360 :( . So I use surge 30 + pitch 10 on axis 1. It points the simulator up and down. Then axis 3 is rotating axis. This I place sway 30 and yaw 10. Most logical. Now my problem is here. Sway is the feeling I thinks rotation like yaw. I need to de the roll axis of my simulator. Axis 2. What is the feeling of roll? My simulator has sway for feeling roll? That not good! I need the feeling of roll? How do I fix that?

    Well done.

    You can adjust the rudder in the WT settings, I tend to use some non-linearity so it is easy to have small minor adjustments when aiming, but still retain a larger rudder movement at full rudder.

    Total reset of rudder is fixxet the problem. Problem source can be my controller. It has to modes. Plane mode and car mode! Changeable while gaming! Special for BF3 and 4. This game sare not VR Simulator good!!! They fail! Do free look optiion not good in plane are jet! I tested war thunder. Cool plugin. Only while in game menu simulator still moving. I hate that! Its not cool. Cannot center in menu (mouse is shaking with the simulator! So VR drifting. En when game is over are crash the plane it terrible. Cannot good pointer on To Battle. When flying its very cool! I think there must a special VR center button on simulator dashboard! 3 control system! Center VR, change camera! a dead man switch on simulator! problem comes on my simulator when plane is shot down! And keyboard is falling on the ground! And I,m in the simulator VR helmed on my head! ) Its small problem but survived it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good update to war thunder plugin. Center the simulator while in menus! Like dirt rally :).
