    You are correct, there is no point rebuilding a plugin when further game updates are expected and are likely to break the plugin again.

    See the following re plugin development:

    I always wait until final release as the last beta version may differ to the actual release so all the memory locations would be wrong again.

    Dont worry I will update it if the plugin is broken when the update lands ;)

    Eagerly awaiting a new ED plugin!. I've just recently upgraded my simchair motors from 50w wipermotors (which worked really well since January when I first built it) to 150w wheelchair motors. Works great now (smc3 and half-bridged monstermotos), but been in joystick mode since the last ED update. Many thanks in anticipation Craig.

    Hello SilentChill,

    I just bought the latest version of Elite Dangerous Horizon (the 2.4 I think) but the plugin does not work with.

    Do you think you can upgrade?

    I want to collaborate even if I never developed a plugin ;-)

    Thank you :)

    Hello !

    I have Elite Dangerous, not Horizon. It is necessary ? The plugin doesn't work with my version 2.4.03

    Thank you for your answer.

    Best regards

    Plugin is broken at the moment due to the game update. I have not had chance to make a new one I've been way too busy.

    Also the plugin will when updated only work with ED:Horizons

    Hi THere,

    Due to the continous updates and the fact we still don't have a working API output from the game, for those, who has got more than 1 usb connected joysticks or want some more programmed movements in the game I can offer you an alternate method to get movement with ED.
    Maybe it isn't new info to some of you, but maybe I can help to some.
    Joystick plugin only can manage 1 joystick input, so if you have stick, thrust and pedal separatelly with 2 or 3 usb inputs, you can use the software called vJoy, a virtual joystick device. you can download from here:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/files/Beta 2.x/

    There is several versions, the new ones has a chance to get an installation problem with win7, or win10, in this
    case you can try an older version. I have spent some hours with that fcking issue....:(

    You need also a remapper utility, for new versions of vJoy there is UCR, link:

    https://github.com/evilC/UCR

    For older versions of vJoy, you can use UJR:

    http://evilc.com/fil...hk/vjoy/ujr.zip

    With these utils you can easily set up multiple joys or usb input into one, and a lot of advantages
    there, like you can program some movements to buttons, axes, etc. For example you can program any
    movement to landing gear down, or hyperjump, etc.

    Hope it helps you in these unhappy days....

    Cheers,
    George

    After a few months, my elite chair is ready to play and running well. After some hours trying get the plugin working, i found this thread. For 2.4 (since september) there is no plugin. This breaks my heart :oops: Can we do anything else?

    It will continuously break with updates unless the ED devs implement a suitable API. Members here have been lobbying the ED team to do so and the SimTools dev @yobuddy has even supplied example code. But so far the ED devs have yet to provide a stable API.

    Hence plugin updates have to be done each time ED is updated and as the plugins are done by volunteers it gets done when they have some free time.

    You can use the generic SimTools Joystick plugin, it is not as good as the dedicate motion plugin, but better than nothing for short term use while waiting for a plugin update.

    Hi @SilentChill
    what do you think, when its time for update the plugin ?
    Currently my rig is in the upgrade process from servo to actuator type.
    so i'm not needed right now. But i guess there're other uers out there who need this.

    Best,
    Kermit
