    Question for the experts
    I am using this plugin since long time and one thing I can't figure out is this..
    specially with the F16 at lower speeds and even more when the gear is down (flight controls gains are adjusted and reduced when gear is lowered) my motion platform becomes quite unresponsive and I can't feel all the little movements and changes in pitch roll and heave.
    Is there any way to adjust the forces based on speed for example? or even based on gear state (up or down)?
    How would I need to modify the export.lua to make this? If at all possible...

    Thanks a lot

    looking for some help. I just downloaded DCS, patched the game. I have simtools pro and the game connects and goes blue/game running but tuning center does not get any game data input...

    Not sure why.

    Thanks

    Try temporarily turning off your firewall and anti-virus, test and see if they are messing with communications.

    The plugin summary states this with respect to GameDash:

    DashApp Data:
    Additional values for instruments are feasible, yet not implemented.

    Hello. I have installed you plugin to User/savegame/DCS
    I have regional settings in English.
    My problem is strange data from tuning center. Roll and pitch. I tried to adjust the roll and pitch, but the data is more than a thousand degrees. Trying to set up a sway - my platform is behaving quite incorrectly. IL2 works fine. What can i do wrong?

    Please post pictures of all of your settings, including the Tuning Center while DCS is running.

    Hello.
    Did it stop working after the game was updated?
    Can someone confirm this for me, please.
    Do you already have a solution to work again?
    Tank You

    I have used SimTools with DCS for several years. Thank you all you clever chaps for your work

    Does anyone know if it possible to access Roll Rate in DCS? In IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad I use Roll Rate, not Roll, and it works perfectly - great feel when banking and no issues going over the top of a roll. Smooth as can be. And good feel if I goof a landing and bounce and tilt a bit from side to side.

    I have tried using Roll with the Generic 2D Advanced setting and turning on the anti-rollover option, but I still get horrible motions going over the top of a roll.

    Grateful for any suggestions.

    Hi @hugso ,
    you should try @Dirty 's "Experimental DCS Plugin":
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/experimental-dcs-plugin-ready-for-testing.13560/

    This one uses roll & pitch rate instead of roll & pitch angles.
