    A HUGE Thank you!!! Were you also able to fix the issue and disable the motion during replay? (I'm at work at the moment)

    What's the issue? You want to block movement when the lap plays back or something? A lot of games like live for speed allows you to ride the replay is all.

    Hi, yes, I do have it in the settings. It turns out that it moves, but poorly, and the movements don't match the car's movement.
    However, in F1 and Aseto, it works fine.

    Hello, I think I have it now... the problem was that the 2 DOF that I have when I activate the axes (Roll,Pitch,YAw,Heave,Surge,Sway ) in the end I only left ( Roll,Surge,Sway) and it makes the swings, acceleration...
    since I didn't understand, I activated everything and in the end I activated them one by one and saw what each one does.
    thanks for the help...

    Simtools v2 works for me, but Simtools v3 doesn't. Is it because I have to pay for the plugins? Simtools gives them to me for free, but my simulator doesn't work. Only with the paid plugins and in Simtools v2.

    I correct the comment that simtool v3 was not working for me, now in f1 2022 it started working, I think it was because I downloaded the plugin myself and did not use the automatic method from v3 but rather I downloaded it from the page and took it and dropped it in simtools v3, I will try the same method in f 1 2025 and in dirt 2.0 to see what happens

    Hello, in v3 the plugins are free. You install them directly from the repository. Remember to do a race and finish it before installing the plugin on the F1s.
    Yes, enter the port and IP address too.

    By default, it will update the game plugin the next time you start-up simtools. If you have set game plugin updates to manual on the options page, then you will get a little up arrow on the banner for the game, where you can click it to update the plugin.

    Please try uninstalling the plugin (the little trash can icon on the game plugin). The restart SimTools and reinstall the plugin. (This will re-patch the game for motion in-case anything accidentally got changed) Afterwords you should be good to go! :thumbs
