    There are a few different versions of SimConnect in the SDK, but according to this utility they're all 64-bit. I'm going to work on adapting your FSX code so that some of it runs in a separate 64-bit process, which I should then be able to call from the SimTools plugin. Hopefully I can come up with a plugin that will be seamless to use.

    I'm getting pretty close to a release-ready plugin. Also, according to today's update, the FPS when using SimConnect should now be improved.

    Great! I can confirm that I am now able to use apps with SimConnect without drop in FPS

    Only 73% positive on Steam right now and that's mostly because of how it looks not how it flys or feels :(. I sure hope they fix everything because I really want to buy it :sos

    Curious how you were able to hack VR support. Is there instructions somewhere how to do so? Thanks.

    Which version of the game, Steam or MS Store? Also, was it today's update (1.0.3.0) that you had problems with, or the previous update (1.0.2.0)?

    It works for me, and I have the Steam version. Just for clarification, are you talking about an update to the plugin or to the game?
