    Considering the non-working GTA5 plugins resulted in several posts quickly thereafter, can anyone stop playing it for long enough in order to verify this plugin is now working correctly? :D

    Hey SC...

    Tried your latest, still same problem... BUT, i decided to just create the path config file manually in Users\Me\AppData\Local\SimTools\GameMangager\GamePathSaves to point to the right folder.

    Then it worked!

    Still no idea why I can't patch normally this game (in fact I installed your new Elite patch in the same launch of the app). Maybe some kind of bug? Anyway, the workaround worked. Thanks for the great work in getting these games moving!! Now to get my wheel to work with it...

    YAY !!!!!! FINALLY !!!

    I will have a look at the path again and maybe just take the check out completely as it doesn't really need it any way.

    Happy it worked though :D

    @SilentChill Thank you for your great work!

    I'm having trouble at getting the motion with this plugin.

    I'm using steam version and here is what I have done to this point:
    - Installed the game and played it
    - Downloaded the plugin and moved wow64ext.dll and GetBaseAddress64.dll to the simtools folder (same where the Simtools game engine.exe is)
    - Installed patch via Simtools plugin updater
    - Made by hand the patching (as described by @darkcrayon ) Patching couldn't be done with the tool.
    - Verified that the game engine recognizes the game when started

    But after this I get no motion nor feed back.
    Is there something else that I should do?

    I have tried using the game engine and game manager with administration privileges but that makes no difference.

    P.S. I do get motion and feedback with LFS and pCars plugins.

    I do not know why.

    It's the same thing for me.

    You can use the method described by darkcrayon.
    Create a config file (GTA5.cfg) to the folder Users\Me\AppData\Local\SimTools\GameMangager\GamePathSaves.
    And in that file just write the path of the folder where your GTA5.exe file is located.

    C'est pareil pour moi.

    @darkcrayon a expliqué comment on peut patcher sans le game manager.
    On doit creer un file GTA5.cfg dans le dossier Users\Me\AppData\Local\SimTools\GameMangager\GamePathSaves.
    Et dedans GTA5.cfg on doit ajouter (en ecriture) le route de dossier ou se trouve le GTA5.exe (pour moi c'est D:\steamlibrary\common\Grand Theft Auto V )
    Desolé par mon niveu francaise mais j'espere que vous le comprenez.

    Oh sorry.
    I haven't been playing GTA5 for a long time, so I wasn't aware that there would be compability issues with the builds and the plugin.
    Is it the same thing as with E: D, that you need to update the plugin every time they update the game?
    It's sad that they don't just output the telemetrics.

    I was just sure that I missed something :D
